woot!
I interviewed for and got the travel assignment I wanted at the OSU James Cancer Center. 11 bucks more per hour than my recent travel gig, but no housing subsidy. It balances out to being about the same, perhaps a little more. It's also got a much better nurse to patient ratio (1:4 typically). I'm really looking forward to it. It will definitely help build the resume, more oncological/surgical exp. It starts July 21st, nearly 5 weeks after ending my assignment at Mt Carmel West. Glad I stashed up some cash to get me through.
I did splurge a little this past week, though... I bought myself a Playstation 3 - the 80GB Metal Gear Solid 4 bundle with the dualshock sixxaxxis(sp?) controller. Playing Heavenly Sword was fun - especially the archery based missions - you can hit a button to slo-mo and guide the arrows in to the target by angling/leaning the controlers, much like the Nintendo Wii. I also bought a TON of PS2 games. I really missed Final Fantasy X, which I never finished due to a small accident on the part of my nephew overwriting my saved game 3/4 the way through.
Yesterday I went with Bethaney and an Outland friend of hers named Joe to the Ohio Peace Officer's Training Academy. We got drunk for the cops-to-be and were breathalyzed and run through a battery of sobriety tests. Yay for free booze.
