Scoreboard

115 job applications in 12 states. Actually that should be 114, since one of them was for a nursing assistant job, but then again, I was turned down for that one too. I did get one interview, but there was no job opening associated with that interview, it was more of an "informational chat". Hmm...If I were being paid minimum wage to work on job applications and searches, I might be able to start paying off my student loans. Tell me again about the nursing shortage, will ya?

In other news, we are down to single digits, only 9 days until graduation. So there is happy news. And Risa (aka Sugarmomma) is still gainfully employed. In fact I just went out to visit her for her 30th birthday and we went on a 30 miles (31.5 mile if computer assisted gps is to be believed) hike to celebrate. I celebrated when we finished the hike. Only took 13 hours.

Otherwise all is well: weather is cold, around 10 below right now here in Fort Collins. School/work (meaning clinical rotations) are good, seeing an appropriate balance of weird and mundane injuries and illnessed in the ED to keep me mostly entertained and perpetually learning.

So, if this whole nursing thing doesn't work out, I may wind up back in Kalifornia working as a movie extra and street performer again. But I'll be the most educated juggling clown you ever met!
