So... the match is over.
I got my third choice- UConn.
I think I'm about 90% psyched, and about 10% bummed I didn't get number one or two.
But bottom line- I have something. No more worrying about interviews etc.... now I just have to make it til next june without getting myself fired!

Misc photo dumpsome pix that have accumulated lately...
My niece/nephew- due Halloween.
This is right up there with the Acme Nipple Mfg Co. I love it.
A couple weeks ago I went to go see the Reverend Horton Heat at the Tralf. Before going, met up with a friend, who was talking about how last time he saw the Rev, he almost got in a fight with some bikers. I figured he was 'telling tall tales'.
Well, then I actually went to the show, and this sign was posted outside the door.
(then unfortunately I got called to work, and had to miss the entire show.)
The hospital in Portland. Not too shabby, for a hospital.
On one of my interview trips, I walked up to my gate, only to see this. it was like 2 in the afternoon. Not really a good time/place to be sleeping on the floor. It's not like there were no seats available. A few minutes later her ?daughter came up and put a blanket on her. Really? We are condoning sleeping on a nasty airport floor?
The beginning of my airline woes with American. This was one of like 8 monitors. Everything yellow is cancelled or delayed.
yeah.... way to go air travel!
This has been written on the board at work for the last couple weeks.
teehee... cocaine shortage... snort.
And in other news-
My "match day" is wed. At noon I find out where I will be spending 2009-2010. Wish me luck!!! I'm starting to get nervous.

Liquid Cocaine the same thing? On a side note there was some drink called that, that killed a few people it was some kind of Redbull and Liquar mixed that people had to many of them and their hearts would stop because of the effects they have on each other.

Accident my ass one of your local 210 guys decided they wanted to scare this guy a bet, oh yeah never point the gun towards your self no mater what, I don't even work or roofs, that is also why I don't. Hey it least it was a nail gun and not a rivet gun. I guess that it more common then you would think.

even better than birthday flowers...... is birthday laptop.
Oooh I am such a spoiled brat.
But this thing is awesome. The multi-touch trackpad is way cool.
And i saw a 1TB drive at Best Buy yesterday for $219, marked down from $350. I think I should go back and get it.

Well if he needed to run something that can only be run on Windows platform, such as Access which isn't offered with MS Office for Mac, then you can't fault him for it.

well you can never have too much HD space, esp when it's really cheap.
but it's for backup, now that i'm paranoid.

That is a lot of memory, you could store all your CD, DVDs and I assume every picture you have ever taken and maybe even a few websites on there, I assume. Is the drive to be added into the lap top or is it an external drive. I don't know anything about lap tops so I don't know how good of one that is but it looks pretty nice.

wow. Are you a digital packratter? Why in the world does someone need a 1TB drive if they are not running a network/IRC server? ;)

congratulations!
it'll be sad when you're gone. it's so weird to think that you're going to leave us. it's like a sad episode of grey's.
speaking of grey's....did you watch the season finale? i was very impressed with karev....i got this weird feeling that he was channeling his own mental issues when dealing with rebecca. the scene where he broke down, was spot on. didnt seem like acting at all.
Dammit!
I was counting on you coming to this neighborhood so you could prescribe me some "medicinal" herbs....
yep, hartford. And yes, it's pretty close to home. Just realized I haven't lived within driving distance of home since '97.
And no need to panic- I still have to finish next year here, so I'll be here til june '09.
ooooohh... So is it going to be The Hand then?
You shall be The Connecticut Jenksy in The Thing's Court.
Yeah, my humour level is running especially dry today.
Congratulations, jenksy! I just know you will make the most of it and have a great experience at UConn. And it's pretty close to NYC -- bonus!
Congrats and make sure to come back to visit and or move back. Think about the house you can get later on for the money in comparison to other places....or maybe that isn't true anymore. I think Buffalo's market might be better than a lot of others out there. You just never know when we can make a come back.
Exactly, think of where it could have gone. Isn't Hartford close to home? there has to be a few perks there.
UConn? Connecticut?
Try to focus on the pysched part!! Least you didn't get choice number 20!!
Congrats!
