This week has been a busy one, but I get to breathe a little today.

I have decided to play it safe and hold on to the first job I was offered. I'll be working in Environmental Health and Safety at a university, focusing on science and engineering laboratories. I asked how many labs the campus has, and they said they are not entirely sure...

Looks like things are going to be busy for the next few days. Tomorrow I am volunteering at the LA Marathon at 5:30am. It should be interesting to hand out water instead of run, but I am hoping it will inspire me to start running again after a 2 month break.

Then on Tuesday, I am taking the Criminalist exam with the Sheriff's Dept. This...

Dmuff and I are getting our new couch today. We just need to figure out how to get it home. The furniture store is one mile away and not quite worth the $55 delivery fee. So, I'm going to pour a little amaretto in my coffee and sit here until we figure it out.

I asked them to give me a week...

The academic job is available now, but the crime lab job...

It looks like I have a good shot at getting a job offer for both of the jobs that I interviewed for! After my interviews, both have asked me to provide references. If they didn't like me, they wouldn't ask, right??

So, I either need to quickly learn a lot about EH&S for laboratories or peptide synthesis. Both are in the same university, and both...

I have two job interviews this week, and I just bought a new leather couch.

Take that, Recession!!

My marathon training program started its new season this weekend. After the crumby month I've had, it was fantastic to see all the familiar faces and welcome all the newcomers.

I'm going to be training with the advanced group this season. I'm really excited about that and think it will benefit me greatly.

Unfortunately, I can't run the LA marathon in May. I don't have...

This is what so many of us always complain about. All these talentless pretty faces are on the radio and tv while the true talents go unnoticed. This woman deserves to be a star.
