Oh such coma causing thought
Have been extremely busy as of late.
Am on rotation at the hospital next door to the one at which I normally spend every waking hour. Their systems are so completely different that it has taken me most of this week to even get an idea of what's going on. Have pumped 4 cases and 2 left hearts so far, which is more experience in 4 days than I've gotten in a whole month sometimes at Texas Heart, frustratingly enough.
The staff there is really nice, helpful, and all around cool. Having a bunch of new people to meet in the same profession ultimately leads to being asked by each one (all 15) separately "how's the job search going?"
AAAAAUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On that same note, I sent off a resume for a job in northern California - a town about 25 miles south of San Fran called Redwood City. I hope they don't blow me off like the UCLA job I applied for did. I realize 4 months out is a bit early, but at the same time I'm feeling a bit panicky by now at having 0 people bite at any lines.
I spent last weekend in Denver, visiting my aunt/uncle/cousins and ailing grandmother. I had a decent time with her except for the fact that she's probably forgotten I visited already. Alzheimers is a scary disease, and seeing all the older folks in the assisted living facility she's in fall asleep during breakfast really freaked me out. I fear losing my youth/memory/independence.
Flew back Sunday night, and some woman accidentally stole my luggage. While speaking to the luggage people I found out that Renee Zellwegger had been on the same plane - I hadn't even noticed. Luckily, my luggage was returned the next day. That was Monday. Today is Thursday and its still sitting in the middle of my floor, untouched. I need to get some energy/free time to sort our a bunch of things in my life.
I really should have more to say for the amount of time its been since I updated... Somehow I'm lost inside my head though, I can't seem to remember much of what I've done.
