  • SOOOO TIRED!
    VERY VERY TIRED!
    When is this residency going to be over?????
    YIKES!  When am i going to land a job??? 


    At least i will be seeing ari hest next week!  Woohoo!  I love ARI! 

  • Went to KEANE concert last night....


    FREAKIN' BRILLIANT!

  • Well, I don't think i got the job in California.  They called me the other day and asked me that I am still in the "running" for the position, but there were other people that interviewed better than me.  BUT... would like to know if i was interested in a INPATIENT position.  Something about how they are trying to provide more Ambulatory Protocols in inpatient... but the position would still entail order entry and IV checking... (for those who is not pharmacy people --> basically they want me to do a completely different type of practice than i interviewed for).  so my answer?  HELL NO!  (well not exactly like that, i graciously decline the offer).  I did not do TWO EXTRA YEARS of training all over the country so that i could do a job a recent pharmacy school grad can do.   HOLLY CRAP.  I am never going to find a job i want, at least a what i trained for...

  • Oh, at University of Washington there is a showing for an korean independent film called RAIN.  Touching story between a FOB korean Chick and a Banana/Twinkie korean dude.  I really didn't know there would be such a riot between the 2 types of groups...


    interesting... unfortunately the showing is today and i just found out about it, but click on the link and you could check out the trailor...for fun...


    FYI:  I feel really old these days... these college people are looking like KIDS to me... sigh**

  • Well came back from California interview... went ok... i was pretty shocked by the very basic questions... didn't know basic 3 contraindications to metformin...i think i need to quit pharmacy...


    There are 2 positions, 1 in Vellejo (35 miles north of san francisco) and 1 in Napa Valley (30 minutes from Vallejo).  So i told them that it would be hard for me to be in Napa Valley since:
    1) I don't drink wine at all...
    2) I am not over 65 years old or retired
    3) Very far from San Francisco or at least the bay area


    *sigh*  i don't even know if they liked me or not...
    GOODNESS WHAT AM I DOING???


    Vallejo sounds ok, about 30 minutes or so from san fran, that means i could live in bay area and just commute to work... opposit traffic congestion (sweet).  I think i would really like the kind of work/clinical stuff i would do there...


    Why i would want to live in California
    1) Eternal sunshine... kinda if you live in San Francisco
    2) i get to be tan
    3) lot of good asian food (seattle has good food too)
    4) gets me steps closer to getting my lifelong dream of owning a beach house (not really the money thing since it is high cost of living in Cali but the getting closer to San Diego and getting use to the Cali lifestyle)
    5)also getting closer to marrying brad pitt...


    Why California turns me off:
    1) WAY too many asian, sometimes i like to feel a little more special...
    2) No winter/no snow
    3) I don't know many people there
    4) I have take the pharmacy boards (ALL OF IT) again... too much money (around $1,000)
    5)Far from Chicago or my cousin in boston
    6) No winter clothese!
