Is it that bad that I watch "The Hills"?

Since finishing school and working a normal work schedule, I have discovered the joy of watching trashy TV. I was never hooked on any TV series for long. There was Heros and Lost, but I stopped watching after the first or second season since I never knew when they aired. But now, omg, I've been watching The Hills, The City, Million Dollar Matchmaker, Bridezilla, Keeping up with the Kardashians, Kell on Earth, and the occasional Real Housewives. It's not a religious following, but usually when I turn on the TV, one of those shows is on. None of these shows are ever really good. And sometimes, they're quite annoying. But oh so entertaining. What is it about these shows that get some of us addicted? For me, it's being able to see what other people's lives are like even if it is mildly scripted. The glamour and glitz. The ridiculously beautiful landscape, houses and people. The fancy schmancy restaurants, the fashion, and of course, the drama. A part of me wishes I could live that life of luxury and beauty. But what really keeps me watching is the fact that it's just plain old eye candy. I can sit there and watch it and not have to think about anything. Everything on the screen is pretty. That's it. I don't have to worry about the plot. Don't have to worry about the characters. Just sit there, and watch it. No need to think. It's trashy, yes. But give your brain a break. And that is my guilty pleasure.

So I totally lost it and yelled at the medical student today. HAHAH.. I even surprised myself. But you know, sometimes, when you see something wrong, that just keeps happening and the person keeps getting away with it, you do something. I'm not even in charge of her. But she was not doing the medical assistant right. She's been here for over 3 weeks. When you're a student, act like one. Be overly eager to learn. Ask if there's something you can help with. Come to clinic on time. Don't leave early. Leave your cell phone, cigarettes, cheetos, jelly beans, magazines somewhere else, not the front desk. Okay so Ashely (the medical assistant) and I don't follow all of those rules ourselves..shh, but we're not students. After our little discussion, she straightened up today. Let's see how it goes tomorrow. It's pretty funny because I don't think either of them expected that from me. Ashely later told me she called the other medical assistant to tell her what happened. And Jackie asked "Amy?! Amy An did what?!" *sigh* sometimes I wish people didn't see me as the nice one.
