Yep, the more you know about folks the more you know you don't know!

We did rain dances today (for me, we are in drought here). Melindy is trying to get her experiment working and figure out what to do with a free long weekend. Tom ROCKED his tri, Neal is a training animal (photos to proove it) and is going to duke it out with PAMelindy in Yellowstone. Kendra is playing with 5 grandkids so she is a training animal as well. Kim is going to NYC to play then to Vermont to visit family (70th birthday party). Ann is fielding job offers and running running running. Dee is losing weight and enjoying cool weather (I am jealous of both). Jules has her mojo back and is running and biking like the mad woman she is. Amy is busy but has popped in for a bit lately  (yeah)! We still have not heard from Stacey or Katie for a long time and it has been a bit for Donkey Kim, too.
I think that is it.
I think that is it...

I am off to shower away the FAIL on the run today and start dinner for the gang,
Have fun all

RIDE, BILL RIDE!!!

Hey Ghoulies. BUSY day here today, but I just got my splits for the race and the report is here. Enjoy!

Ghoulies I had a phone interview today for the COOLEST JOB EVER!

I would be a Systems Administrator, fine... no big deal, right?

The systems I would administer/install/maintain are installed on military planes. I would get to do test flights, travel some, have a flexible schedule. Lots of other cool stuff that she told me that I forget right now.

I'm going down Thursday afternoon to take a tour and meet the people I might be working with!

I HOPE I GET THIS JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exciting!

Well I got 1/3 of my recording done and then stuff went downhill again because the arterial line came out...ahhhh

Spoke too soon again.

Ah. Fack. No more surgeries till next week. Maybe this will help my current mental state. Pretty much had a meltdown last night over this plus other stuff thats going on or not going on and tried to let it go this morning and then bam, something else happens. I guess it is just life. Maybe there is something to be said for just letting it go, but I'm just too compelled to make everything "right" and get everything "right". 

Sorry for being debbie downer...and for whining. Gahhh...I feel like a baby and just need to HTFU.

I'm going to go home and listen to Josh Groban...Josh makes me happy.  

x2. Good luck Ann!!!!

Sometimes you just can't make things right. Sometimes you just have to accept things how they are.

Relax. Enjoy your long weekend. Don't think about medicine, surgeries, rats, or experiments until next week. Take a break from it all. You'll be fine.

Ok...so funny story. On my way home I had to stop and get groceries. I was at the cashier and she asked me how my day was and I gave the typical "Good, how about you?"...So she noticed my hoodie (It has UofA Med crest on it) and asked me about it. So we started talking and she goes to UBC and just finished her first yr of her undergrad and is looking to get
into medicine. She was just really happy and it really made my day. I feel about 500000000x better...haha.

Funny, isn't it? How something so little can make all the difference.

Yes...I feel better!! Huzzzzaaahhhh!!! 4 day weekend!! Lalalalalalalalala!!! I can do whatever I want, lalalalalalal!!!

(PS...Im sorry Neal, Tom, Bill...I actually couldn't resist this) Hopefully it works!

Thanks Ann. I think I just need a break from it for a few days too. Everyone is being really nice about my lack of results so far, so I guess it would be alright to just let it be. I get results, I get results...if I don't, then thats the way it will be. C'est la vie.

Oooo. I picked up some trashy novels on the way home too.

PS. I think the rain dance worked...as it is raining here right now.....................

So I biked to the MAX this month!!! Woohoo!!! My GURU has quite a few miles on it now

Yay Bill! It will be good to have you back!! More posts by you will chop up my craziness! Haha.

Dang, looks like I missed the ghoulie gal dance party today

Work was incredibly busy and boring.  I ran the same test today 44 times.  By the end I had the pretty strong urge to stick my head over a lit bunson burner.

X3!  Crossing everything for you!

Well said, Ann.  This sounds like the perfect weekend to do whatever the %$&* you want

I did an entire summer internship one year doing research and none of our experiments worked.  It was frustrating for sure, especially when other people in the program were getting published papers out of their summer of research.  I took it as a good lesson that things don't always go as planned.  Learn what you can, and keep moving forward.  I have no doubt that things will start looking up for you

You can light a bunson burner???? Can you come and light mine...I swear I think I'm going to blow the lab up everytime I have to use flame to stretch tubing. That stupid metal flint thing never works for me right away...

Yes...I know...intro chem lab was rough...

I feel so young and naive  

My Honors supervisor in my undergrad had to sit me down when I started my data analysis and told me, "You know, you don't need to win the Nobel Prize with your honors project"...Maybe I'll just adopt this philosophy for this summer/possibly MSc. project. Oh science...

ETA: PS. Thanks Neal
