Last decade: Went to veterinary school, graduated, did an internship, worked as a vet, thought better of the whole thing.

Next decade: Pay it off.

Drones in the health care sector:

The Trick to Achieving Universal Health Care? Drones

I am ridiculously proud of having passed their interview process and am now quite intimidated about contributing. These people do some AMAZING STUFF. Everyone I’ve met so far here is simply phenomenal.

Well I sure haven’t been around here as much since starting the new job!

So far it looks really nifty. People there are good folk and the work is fascinating.

I’m slowly coming up to speed. Slowly. I’m always antsy to become a useful contributor faster, and yeah that gives me some drive to make the effort, but god I’m tired and I judge myself for not being THERE already.

The commute isn’t as bad as I feared. Yet, anyway. Ask again in a few months. :)

I do read here, just in larger batches at a time. I apologize for commenting less.

First few days on the job have felt a bit hectic with no particularly good cause. I’ve been thinking for three days “I will do laundry this evening” and for various reasons it hasn’t happened.

I can take restroom breaks at work. (There’s a server rack in there. At Old Job it was a big organizer full of medical supplies. Plus ça change...) I can even eat lunch, and what’s more, it’s brought to us automatically every day for free.

Yesterday on my commute I had to brake to avoid a heron.

Funniest headline I’ve seen today: “The Man Trying to Make Sense of Brexit is Tired and Would Like to Stop Now”. (NY Times so I won’t link it, paywall. Posted on work’s #random Slack channel.)
