And it was a long, interesting day at work. One of the things that I can say, because it's a matter of public record, is... well, no I can't say that. HIPPA. In fact, at this point, I'm not sure if I can even publicly say which hospital that I work for. I'm really planning on starting a very private journal (not on the web at all) with all of the medical stuff, simply 'cause it's just so cool and I want to write it down somewhere. It won't do anyone any good at all, except for me, of course. But that's what I'm all about anyway, isn't it? We were busy enough that I had to take a "no lunch" and grab a salad to eat in between patients... and then I left ten minutes early. And I'm wearing my sandals to work until the first frost... wherever that first frost may happen. I've been regularly talking to recruiters and I'm getting the feeling that I'm getting the runaround, but that may be because we're still working on something that means that I can't give them a firm date when I can start. That should come together in the next week, though, and then we'll be off and running. Part of my problem is that I think that these people should give me a list of places that have openings, what kind of an institution, salary, y'know, stuff like that... stuff that you want to know before you make a commitment. The recruiters seem to want a commitment *first*, then they'll tell you what they have open. And the place that I want to work for won't talk to me while I still have connections to St. Francis, 'cause they have a contract with them. And I'm really not ready to jump out there without something pretty firm, I still will have bills to pay.... I'm really happy that today is Friday, I'm gonna sleep sooooo late in the morning!
