'Tis The Season To Give

To give gifts that is. I'm glad I finally got my shopping done. It's always now that I find that I'm in fact pretty poor. Poor......as in very thin wallet.

Friday, my coworker Heather and I were trying to figure out how much we make an hour. We divided and multiplied, added and subtracted. We are taking home about $16.50 per hour (after taxes). In residency I was taking home about $9.50 per hour. But in residency I was working 76 hrs per week, but now I'm working about 40 hours per week. Still, that translates to $350 less per month now than when I was in residency. A delivery guy from UPS makes $27 per hour ($56K per year). I just hope that we do get a big tax refund.

We received another snow pounding today too. It came down pretty fast. Then later came the rain. The whole place became a big slushy. Seems like Sunday we'll get even more snow.

My flight to LA has been moved up to 11/21 (Friday) morning. I hope this way I can beat most of the traveling traffic.

First Day of Snow!

Today is the first day of snow in Columbus! I woke up to about 3 inches of snow and then another 2 inches fell. I was 30 minutes late to clinic, but our patients were late by 1 or more hours. Not many showed up anyway.

Football and Snow

It looks like OSU football is going to the national championship game after all! Yesterday both #1 Missouri and #2 West Virginia lost! Those were some interesting games. So that makes OSU #1 in the nation and so far we don't know who's going to be our opponent. I wonder who's #2 now.

In other news things getting colder here in central Ohio. It's not as bad as before so far. In the past we would have gotten snow by now. The forecast says that we would get our first snow accumulation probably this week. January is supposed to be the coldest month though. I'm glad I'll be in California for Christmas and New Years.
