I was ofered the job with the insurance company! 

Offer is okay but not fabulous money--however there are NO weekends, holidays, mandatory stupid meetings, on call or drunken jerks in this picture so it's well worth it!

yaaaay! so this is a good thing, right????

Ok just saw the pic - thats a nice looking bike!!!!

Thanks... I'm excited and a little "sceared".... I've never ridden aero's before...

Ummm I dont have  any but they do make steering a little hrder but are great for a straight line... you come out of aero for climbing and cornering...

Some corners can be taken in aero but you gradually work up to it with practice. Places like an empty carpark are great to practice cornering and turning in a safe environment!

I suppose next week I'll get to start a crash count.  Let's hope it stays low



Try just riding the hoods at first. Just get to know this bike. Once you have a couple of rides on the hoods, find a nice, flat straight road with very little traffic and go one arm at a time into the aerobars. The bike will be very touchy and sensitive to any movement when you are aero. This is normal. You will get used to it. The first time I went aero on my tri bike, I was all over the road and even crossed the center line a couple of times. I was surprised because I had clip-ons on my road bike and raced in those. The tri bike was a lot more narrow and aggressive. Keep pedaling. Pedaling keeps you steadier. Pretty soon, you will be a pro!

You better believe it!  I have worked weekends for 30+ years if you count from when I started working at the nursing home in high school.

The speaker for that mandatory thing was good but I just don't think all these suggestions are really that practical in the hospital (particularly ER) setting.  They're going to start som mandatory 10 minute "team huddle" BS starting next week  at the beginning of each shift.  HA, a consistent time for each shift to do that huddle?  We have NO CONTROL over what rolls into the department and WHEN it rolls in--can be quiet now and crazy in the next 5 minutes with the proverbial line at triage or squads rolling in...

Congratulations!  Have you decided if you are going to take it? 

I didn't need to think it over at all...of course I took it!

Best news ever!!! Congratulations... average money is totally worth it to get rid of the stress and get your life back!!!

Thats why I originally took my current job to get away from on call, constant stress, travel on my personal time... etc And I will say it was the BEST decision for me!

Aaaw thanks... Im pretty sure im more run down than everything.. one of my eyes gets a bit of it swollen (like a sty or something) when Im run down and that started happening last week... then my throat got scratchy (also happens when Im run down)...

So I think its just my body saying - I NEED HELP! so its escalated its protests a bit further.. (and combined with PMS - yuck! The bad thins with that is when Ive got that I never seem to start getting better until its over )

That travel has to really whack things up for you.  It may only be an hour time difference, but the repeated stress of changing your internal clock with these flights hass to take a toll somewhere.
