Happy New Year! I would say "Happy New Decade", but there was no year zero.
Anyway, things have been rather slow this month, so I'll get on with the content I promised last month to share with you. My parents indirectly got me "Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks" for the Nintendo DS - I bought it with my own money sometime around December 10th, and they reimbursed me on Christmas. My older brother gave me "Dilbert 2.0", the 20th Anniversary collection book, which I was just about to add to my Amazon.com wishlist. My oldest brother sent me a $50 GameStop gift card, which I spent on Borderlands for the Xbox 360 - quite possibly my new favorite game. Last, but not least, my sister-in-law baked me some very tasty Christmas cookies.
Interesting changes are under way at work. Nutrition Services has already hired two new people for Trayline (basically an assembly line for patients' meal trays) and Sanitation has been shorthanded for months. One of our senior (old as dirt) personnel is out on disability, so we're struggling to cover for him, and I hate to think how screwed they'll be when I transfer to a new department. There's an opening in Sterile Processing, and I intend to get it. If I'm considered, the interview will probably be next week or early next month. I'll let you know how it goes next time.
