You know that new McDonald's commercial? The one with the young woman rapping in a van? If not, here it is:
She's a violinist and lives in my new neighborhood; there was a story about her and the making of the commercial in today's paper. Nice to see fun, inspiring articles for a change!

New Beginnings
I have a new job! Yippee! Yahoo! I'm so excited. Can't you just picture me doing the happy dance? I start on April 9th. Can you believe it?! I'm going to be a little fish in a medium-sized farm. All the other fish seem nice and found me "delightful" when I interviewed with them.
So now I'm trying to wade through stuff like getting state prescription pads, DEA numbers, etc. The nice thing about having always worked in schools or federal facilities is that one simply used internal numbers because the institution took care of the details. But now I have to do what folks in the real world do. What I really wanna know is why it just cost me $1100 to get permission from the US government to write prescriptions for narcotics. Admittedly, it's for 2 different offices (cuz you have to have a number for each office in New York State) and my employer is reimbursing me, but $1100? Are they kidding?
And speaking of new beginnings, remember when I mentioned that Extreme Makeover Home Edition was in town? Well, the "big reveal" was yesterday afternoon. Alas, I didn't go; I actually forgot all about it. But, the house looks pretty cool.
What I like most is watching everyone scream "Move that bus!" and then seeing the family's reaction. Their whole story is here, by the way.
Congratulations, Oatman Family!

Whaddaya Know?
Heard today, on the local news:
The Extreme Home Makeover folks are in town. I've half a mind to drive over and watch. Not really, but how cool would it be to be in the crowd screaming "Move that bus! Move that bus!"? Ok, again, not really, but the thought does amuse me.
The newscaster said the show'll air on May 20th- it'll be the 2 hour season finale.
Another interview today. Community health center. One practitioner. Right now, they have someone "filling in" a few days a week. Imagine my surprise when I walked in and actually saw someone I know. It was nice to see a familiar face. Maybe she'll put in a good word...
