The Beat Goes On

Nothing new on the job front. I submitted my resume for an analyst position and e-mailed the person in charge of the department. She said she can not proceed until the hospital processes my application and forwards it on to her. From past experience I can tell you it will take 3-4 months for them to hire someone, even if they are desperate. So, I may be unemployed for awhile.

I spent yesterday cleaning out my desk, my car, and all my files. Not only did I have one filing cabinet, but my predecessor also had a tall filing cabinet that I had to empty. And all the boxes and 3-ring binders....yikes! We had approximately 60 bags of trash and at last 30-40 bags had to go to the shredder because of confidential material. Initially I thought that once that was done I would be free to leave, but that is not the case. They want me to stay on and inventory, bag and tag all our equipment. The only problem?...corporate still hasn't sent us the appropriate labels (with barcodes, evidently) to complete the task. So, since I was done with my work and couldn't begin to help anywhere else I sat at my desk for 6 straight hours until being freed to go home. Tracie and I spent the afternoon yelling insults at each other and laughing like goons. We had brought food for a little private pitch-in and listened to a Ron White CD. When we were finally allowed to leave we decided to go to Target. I now have the new Harry Potter book, but I can't start it until Monday. I need to have something to do next week!
