Finally! Another Entry!

When I started writing a blog, the whole purpose of it was to take up time at work. Work sucked (still does) and I had a lot of free time back then, so it seemed like a good idea at the time. Funny thing as time went on, I really started to enjoy this blogging business. Although I'm clear on the fact that makes me a total loser.

I have no free time at work anymore. Except for strangely right now, because it's Saint Patty's day and all my coworkers are at a bar down the street drinking green beer with the rest of San Francisco, so no one is calling in on support calls. Don't feel bad at me for not being at the bar - even if I didn't have a killer hangover today I'd be avoiding that shit like the plague.

Anyway, so I have no free time anymore and therefore haven't updated the blog since the horrible Googling of '06.

Side Note: To Google, verb, (1) meaning "to perform a Web search, that returns a greatly defined list of results...pertaining to your search topic, tremendously beating the competition, such as MSN, Yahoo, AskJeeves, Lycos, ect.", usually with the Google search engine. "Mary googled for Wikipedia references." (2) To string someone along forever with job interviews, tell them they are a top candidate, tell them they will be hired for either a position or a better position, advise them to quit their job and then at the last minute tell them you changed your mind and they will not be getting an offer after all. "That hospital in Orlando googled my sister when they told her 'we'll see you in July!' and then didn't give her a residency offer. Those fuckers."

But I started to really miss the little blogosphere. And I've been touched that a couple of you out there (literally two: Francesca and Jesse) keep checking in on the Western Edition and asking why I haven't been updating it. So, it seems that if I want to keep this little endeavor running, I'm going to have to become an even bigger loser and blog on my free time.

The good news about not writing forever is that I have a ton of stories stacked up! Look forward to exciting tales about:

- How I've started driving my office crazy (this one will only be published after I am able to leave my current position. Unfortunately, coworkers know my blog address.)
- When TJ turned into a kite during a wind storm (ok - this one is lame but cute.)
- That whole shrooming thing
- General life updates
- My new co-worker Barbie
- I'm sure lots of other things, I'll just have to think of them

Stay tuned for another day.

Well, sounds like you have several stories to catch me up on. I am starting to do a little better after being googled, but damn it sucks so much. I still am a little in the shock and disbelief phase, but I know it will pass. At least I am out of the absolutely hysterical unable to talk about it phase. Also, I am regaining just feeling thankful for getting such a wonderful amazing residency position!

Oh, and make that THREE people who checked your blog. Check your sit meter - you may notice a number of visits from a certain Chicago location . . .
