More thumb-twiddling. I had my first interview for the other job today–the QC one. Again, no news. Funny. Way too many people applied for this job (versus the other one), so the guy weeded out people with questionnaires. One of the instructions on one of the questionnaires was to use a specific font, color, and […]

Return. We’re back. No zoo. It snowed–and four hours later we were in shirtsleeves weather. We did go to the Butterfly House in Sioux Falls. More on that later, I think. Also, since we didn’t go to the zoo, we splurged on a motel with a swimming pool. Ray finally let me take her back

Huh. Ray just packed herself in the suitcase.

Trip. We’re leaving Thursday night for SD. We should be back in town on Wednesday. With luck, we’ll get to stop at the Omaha Zoo on the way back. So? You say. Omaha. “Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom.” Omaha. They have a great zoo.

Interview. First interview today. No further information until the last week of March. Sigh. I think it went well; I’m hyped. The general idea is to get someone to research procedures, write them up, and get best practices from the three sites that do the same work. What has been my big bitch at work

Beware. Depo shot yesterday. Kicking in today. Please disregard anything insightful I say today: it’s a lie, I tell you, a lie. Three months of hormones are coursing through my body. Lee said, “You look like you need a hug all the time.” Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Mabye I should go find some chocolate and kill it. Viciously.

Sitch. I’m still waiting for the first gorram interview for the tech position, by the way. Things crawl. Also posted for a QC position. My supervisor is a…not a saint, but you can see why there are such things as saints when you understand her situation here. She’s not a patient woman. She’s freaking out.

Swan Palace. From the menu of my favorite Chinese place in town: Honey Glazed Walnut Shrimp: Shimp in a light batter in snow-white sarcastic lemon, in comination with mayonnaise, surrounding with honey glazed roasted walnut and topped wtih sesame seeds. What a tantalizing combination! –I haven’t been brave enough to try it yet. Canton Steamed

Thoughts on Writing. Talking to Lee last night, here are some things that I know: When you sit down to write a story, you should ask yourself “Why?” If all you’re trying to do is entertain someone, that’s good but probably not honest. If you’re trying to “make people think” by telling them your opinion,

Right. You know you’re doing something right when you dream about Jimmy Stewart.
