Well, as Dead_Ringer so kindly pointed out, I have been seriously neglecting my journal over the past month. Let's try to correct that omission:
Well, it looks like I really did jinx the offer in Boston. Initially, I had dueling interviews with the same company, one in Beantown, the other in Columbia, SC. Within the space of a week, both vacancies evaporated.
The one up north was to replace someone transferring to another hospital. His target decided that they wouldn't renew their contract if they couldn't keep the guy he was replacing. Which means he's not moving. Which means I'm not replacing him.
The position in SC was to fill a new contract. The contract fell through, so no position. Damn.
So, in the last month:
I've helped my sister and brother-in-law pack up their house and move from Orlando to Tallahassee - then unload there.
BTW, my brother-in-law is a maniac behind the wheel of a U-Haul, who has apparently no idea of how to keep a caravan together on the highway.
Once there: plumbing repair, furniture moving and assembly, satellite TV/surroud sound setup, carpet removal, etc.
I've helped my niece and nephew do the same, as well as to repair their house in preparation to selling it. Let's see, that's 2 new doorknobs, a shower head, 4 towel bars, a screen door closer, a light fixture and dimmer switch, toilet seat and flush handle replacement, tree limb removal, brush clearing, microwave oven repair, attick cleaning (God, I hate rats!!), and I forget the rest.
Oh yeah, and for my parents: UPS hookup/troubleshooting and sofware modification, various other computer troubleshooting, carpet cleaner repair, and other mr. fixit stuff.
God I'm pooped!
And on top of all this, I've had to deal with dial-up, since I haven't been at home. So I've really fallen behind on the boards.
Now if only I could finally get a real job and stop all this fucking work!

So, I might actually be moving back to Boston!
The most promising job offer so far is a bit surprising - instead of company rep., it's a Deptartment Manager position at a hospital in Jamaica Plain.
Now that would be a trip!
*crosses fingers, knocks on wood, hopes it isn't jinxed by writing about it here, etc.*
I guess I wouldn't mind being a suit, for once.

So, it's been two weeks now. I should probably update.
Here goes:
w00T!!!
As of May 1, 2005 I am the proud holder of a B.S. in Health Science (the equivalent of PreMed or Healthcare Administration).
And before anyone remarks: I know, I already had plenty of BS, just not officially.
Now to find a job!
And for dead_ringer's question:

And for dead_ringer's question:
what is it you study, actually? is it rocket science? no no no - botany! wait, lemme guess... electroencephalography (i have no idea if i spelled that correctly).
Electroencephalography (spelled correctly!) is not too far off. For several years, EEG has been one of my specialty areas in my previous incarnation in technology support.
edit to add: As a matter of fact, one of my professional references is from the director of the EEG dept. at Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston.
Ooh, more Army points! Another News article got posted.
At least it looks like this one generated some interest.
But anyway.
Finals.
Four classes down, one term paper to go - then: GRADUATION!!!
