Still no nursing job. The class behind us was apparently advised not to bother looking for jobs and just to apply for transition-to-BSN programs. One of my classmates looks like she's going to be working in NC, and she was the most aggressive person I've spoken to yet in terms of applying for absolutely every possible position in-state. I'm ( Read more... )

Okay, not officially, and certainly not to go by the weather. We had a couple of nights of frost recently, and yesterday the temp never made it to 50F. But finals are over, so as far as I'm concerned, summer has begun ( Read more... )

When annietalbot gave me the heads-up about Lois McMaster Bujold being at Boskone, I really should've taken the Fri-Sat shift off to be sure I could make it up for at least part of today. At 5pm, she was scheduled to (and presumably did) give a 45 minute reading from her new VK book, Cryo Burn. Panels and autographing earlier in the day. I was, ( Read more... )

Really, it's pathetic. I never even made it while I was living in Boston! But I'm realizing that with this Sat-Sun starting my new schedule with a lovely third shift, there's just no way I'll be able to pull it off. Good thing I hadn't pre-registered. *sigh* So once again, I say, "Maybe next year ( Read more... )

Last Saturday I was out with a friend and we ended up conversing about our "juvenile" interests. Well, the juvenile comment came when she was debating endlessly about which game system to get herself as a graduation present. (Nintendo DS won out over Wii.) To that comment I replied, "We spent the last 45 minutes before we came in here talking ( Read more... )
