Checked into this thread and realized I was over a week behind with hc news.
Sorry on the surgery, Shelly, but if you need any advice with managing crutches, I've got all the good tips. Sorry about apt., Jacob; can only hope a better one is waiting. Congrats to Emooze, and hoping Al's hip is better.... and good luck to Greg's patience with the college application process. I also applied to only one and got in, though I do think back in my day, it was a bit easier. One of my friend's kids just graduated from my old college, and her daughter had to interview with three professors as part of the process. I went there on two hits of yellow sunshine (I thought the campus was very pretty in the snow), and remember meeting people that were written down on a schedule for me, and could have been interviewing me, but I obviously didn't understand the purpose of my visit or the college application process in general. Apparently, whatever I did worked, and got a scholarship to boot. Those were the days.
I got nothing exciting for news these days. Been uber busy with nothing fun. Got an email from HR this morning, telling me I have to be in the lobby at 9:45 tomorrow morning so I can get served papers regarding a lawsuit over a patient that hung herself a couple years back. Sad, but I barely remember her, let alone any notes I wrote, which are apparently the reason for their interest in me. Bah.
