Because even I cannot find something to whinge about when I have spent the weekend doing the following ( Read more... )

I just spent the last two days in Substance Use class, which is a pre-licensure requirement for my LCSW. It cost me 15 hours of my life and $258.00. So that none of you out there will have to give up either, much less both, of those things, I will summarize the experience ( Read more... )

Last night, Tom and I went for Erev Rosh Hashana dinner at the Orthodox synagogue that my parents attend. I had been dreading it since the minute it was mentioned to me, because we have attended other events there and already knew what horror awaited us. Specifically, the synagogue's collection of shrieking, feral children who roam freely, and ( Read more... )

I have just resigned from my per diem position at Packard. That is all.

and a little tiny condo! That pretty much sums up our housebuying in San Francisco saga. Even more hilariously, our big gay realtor has referred us to a big gay mortgage broker. I may have missed the parade, but I'm experiencing Pride aplenty. If only they would stick around once the transaction is completed and help me decorate ( Read more... )

Tom and I returned from our epic journey last week. I don't really know how to sum up a entire month of mayhem, so instead I will post the e-mails we sent from various shitty Internet cafes, with some minor editing. Enjoy!(?)

Tom probably also found it strange - or indeed annoying - to be rousted out of bed to make me coffee, rather than ( Read more... )

Another epic journey! What this barely intelligible itinerary states is that Tom and I are headed for Nepal - and either Tibet or Bhutan - at the end of March. (Decisions, decisions). We'll be gone for just about a month; anyone want to provide long-ish term amounts cat care ( Read more... )

For those of you not on the Kaiser tip, that last acronym is for Kaiser Redwood City. In any case, today I got two of the freakiest referrals I've received in a while. They were both waiting for me when I staggered in this morning at "why do I work in another county o'clock." Both were from the OB/Maternity service which I remember from my ( Read more... )

No, I am NOT referring to any delusions I may have of possessing a ghetto booty. I am instead talking about the fact that I had hoped that Kaiser would be a more civilized workplace than SF General. Clearly I was, once again, delusional. Perhaps that's just my basic, Becca at rest state. In any case, a week and a half ago, I ended up ( Read more... )
