I got a call from the other job that I've been considering. A few weeks back I went to lunch with them while they told me all about the job and asked me to apply. I applied but didn't hear back for awhile. So she calls today and says they'd like me to interview next Wednesday. I have very mixed feelings about this job. On one hand it pays a lot more and it's an opportunity to really make a difference, but on the other hand I really like my job now. Plus, we're hiring a full-time programmer so I'll be able to spend my time on design and usability and possibly move into being the information architect for the university websites. Plus, I have tremendous flexibility, I love my boss and the team I work with, I get free tuition to take my medical classes, I get every other Friday off, I can come and go pretty much whenever I want, etc. The only downside to this job is the pay. But even that's not so bad when you count the benefits and the retirement.

So I went to the band doc today. New nurse! I convinced the woman to give me .2 cc's in my band. That would have NEVER happened with the other nurses. They're reluctant to give me .1. I'm loving this new restriction. Thank you band angel, whatever your name was!

NSV: 2 co-workers said I was 'lookin skinny'. Another co-worker said I was looking skinny, but that something also was 'different' about me. She didn't know if it was a tan or my hair or what. I think it's my new makeup. I went to Sephora while in Vegas (like 4 times) and got some friggin awesome stuff.
