i hope you enjoy it...at least you will not be bored....our scrubs are dark navy for the Attendings and green for surgery and OB-gyn residents and baby- blue for medicine. the torquise are for the neighboring hospital...did you know it is a big faux pas to wear different hospital colors at other hospitals???
congrats on your job! Medicine/heath care is one of the few spots that is currently thriving. you will do great...but the fur-children will be lonely???

Amber will be doing double duty over lunch hour to get my crew pottied, fed, pottied again, and then crated up. Likely I will be working Mon, Wed, and Fri once I'm on a set schedule! So they still get 4 days out of 7 with me.

Methinks that is job security for awhile.

definitely scanning will take a lot of time....our clinical areas have been at it for 2 years! they hire college students in addition to regular secretaries and MSAs all summer to help out because there is so much to do....my clairvoyant powers tell me you will soon be working more than the 3 days
I have crocs too....pink, brown with purple fur inserts for the winter, and they also come in high heels...they are very comfy but hide them from the dogs..mine loves to chew them. (hint: they have very good sales at certain times, you can get them for $12.00 a pair with free shipping)
i'm very happy for you!!! and you have a dog-sitter!...my little Sammy waits in the florida room all day..I won't let him loose with the 3 cats...i would come home to crashandburn.

Yes, with the cats that I have, leaving 6 dogs loose is not an option! My oldster is left loose in the house at 13 1/2 years old.

I stocked up on nuts for snacks, and some wheat/peanut butter crackers since I'm diabetic.
Probably wouldn't hurt to get a bit of cash out of the ATM on the way out in the morning.
I will be in rush hour traffic, but it's 6 and then 4 lane all the way once I hit Wichita.

Remember... stretch every hour, and also run your eye focus from near to far across the room. Support your forearms if doing desk type tasks. Try to walk every hour to use the large muscles of the legs and get the lymph moving so fluids don't accumulate in the legs. Range of motion on neck and shoulders and spine.
These things only take a few seconds, but your body will thank you!
Go forth, and conquer!

You know? With all the pain and suffering here it is so very, very nice to see this. Thank you for brightening my week with this. I have followed it since the interview. I am so happy and proud of you! (even though I do not know you, hehe).
I would say good luck, but you made your own

(((DeVon))) - pack a BIG lunch box, because all of us will be in it (((Anvil))) will be the one dancing and crying happy tears. I'll be the one saying "this too, shall come"
Definitely need an update when you get home from work.
Love, hugs, and prayers,
Amy
