'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.
