North To Alaska

A 1000 lb moose can yeild 400+ lbs of meat. And it’s GOOD.

Site went down for a bit, then by the time it was up and stable I was prepping for a new job.

Got a call from the agency on Wednesday with a possible job. They asked if I would allow them to submit my name. Well DUH. Got the call back Thursday morning that the job was mine. Went in to fill out the paperwork and get details… What they knew; Fairbanks Memorial,

in the emergency/disaster preparedness group and it would have to do with access/excel conversion. No job description, so no further info. So, I went back Thursday evening and crammed some for MS Access as I haven’t really touched it since the late 90’s.

Showed up Friday morning to find that the job is basically data entry. I’m WAY overpaid for this, but I’m not going to complain. The hardest part is that I’m creating a db of checklists for preventative maintenance of the hospital equipment. For instance, I did one (using the mfg’s manual) for an electric scalpel. It WILL be interesting, and I enjoy the biomed folks that I’m working with. They seem to be great folks and that will make the job more enjoyable for me.

To fill the job, they have to hire an RN, so I don’t have a chance at the spot permanently, but one of the guys I’m working with is already looking for me a spot at the hospital.
