How long would you have to stay in Anchorage? I think the tuffest part would be the long dark winters. And the fact that men out number women 9 to 1. (or maybe thats good?) The summers are beautiful, spent a good deal of time in the Kenai area. Tuff decision. Bozeman's no SO bad.

Assignments are usually 13 weeks and are extended as needed. I had no clue men outnumber women 9 to 1, but then I haven't had a date in two months. I might as well shave my head and become a monk. (Do monk's have sex?) Anyway, I decided it would be wrong to break a contract no matter how much it sucked. So I'll stay in Bozo as they call it and get some skiing in, see Yellowstone and see what happens around St. Patrick's Day (end of contract). RVA get any snow yet?

No, no snow here. In fact it looks like going to be in the high 50's all week, maybe some rain. Not bad for January! Good choice on the contract deal. Nice to see integrity still exists. What is it that you do? Sounds so cryptic, "assignments".

Crazy weather here. Yesterday when I got up it was 9 degrees. Today it was 43, still the snow only melts on the streets. It stays pretty deep on the grass and such. I was joking with a co-worker the other day about not washing their cars until April. Everybody has the same color vehicle here...muddy . As to your question: I have been a Cardiovascular Technologist for 16 years. I trained at MCV post paramedic degree and now due to a confluence of events travel about the USA working in Cardiac Cath Labs that are short staffed or for whatever reason need a hand. In case you have not had a relative with heart disease, CCL's use XRay equipment to see contrast dye that is injected into the arteries around your heart to look for blockages; and then we fix 'em or you have bypass surgery depending on how good your gene's are. It's all very technical and professional and exciting and I don't fit in at all with my ink and piercing's but FUCK 'EM. It's who I am (did I just go off there?).

Sounds like a solid job considering the amount of aging boomers and the fact that our society keeps getting fatter and fatter! No really, sounds cool. I have a family of medical people, nurses and Dr's. My dad had severe heart disease, as did his family. I've been spared(so far), so I am familiar with some of what you do. How do you feel about the travel? Do you long to put roots down somewhere? Hope your day is going well, and that nobody died on your table today!
