Last Thursday and Friday I got to go out in the field with the Hospice Team. I'm not on the Hospice Team, but it was to give me an idea of the organization as a whole. It was awesome. Thursday was with a Russian Social Worker and Friday was with a Rabbi. I really need to pick up another language, because I felt real out of place with the Russian-speaking Social Worker and the Hebrew-speaking Rabbi. I felt a little inconsequential as the English-speaking Social Worker. What fun is that? Well, being out in the field was very interesting and it made me much more excited about my job and what I'll be doing.
As for work in general, still not really doing anything. The research project that I was hired for hasn't started yet, so I spend most of my time chilling at my desk reading up on HR policy and trying to find any research on Palliative Care. Today I got to spend most of the time studying for my licensing exam. I kinda feel bad getting paid to study and sit on my ass, but if they don't have a problem with it, I don't have a problem with it.
My Longhorns are kicking much ass! They're headed to the Rose Bowl after stomping Colorado 70-3. I couldn't be prouder to be an alumni/us of the University of Texas. We're Texas, dammit! So now the boys will be playing for the national championship the day before my birthday.
And we had our first snow yesterday. Sam and I went walking in the snowy goodness. I took him to my job and we went grocery shopping and had a great day. It's snowing tonight and I'm hoping for a strong snow so that maybe I won't have to go to work tomorrow. The benefit of working somewhere with lots and lots of commuters.
Once the snow starts sticking tonight we're gonna go out and play, maybe make a snow angel in the street or have a snowball fight. Who knows!!
Enjoy pictures of our snowy neighborhood and me and the hubby in the snow!

So I just went a wandering on Carlye's blog - haven't fininshed yet. I didn't realize how much you guys are behind Mom (Marie) beating this cancer thing. I was very happy to see it and immediately sent her an e-mail (that Dad will probably intercept even though I put Mom in the subject line)
Anyways - we are so proud of you Carlye and I am so happy that this new job is making you happy. Sam will be back in NYC soon and then he will realy need your support, being so far away from Mom at this hard time. I know that when Dad was in the hospital (however many years ago that was) and I went home before I really knew that he was OK, it really did a number on me. So be ready to be extra-supportive, he's gonna need it!!!
zjekqgThis one is really on the subject, promise:
On a different note, when I worked in Israel organizing congresses (conferences here in America) my very first one in 2000 was on Palliative Care.
I'll do some digging and see if I can send you a copy of the abstract book.
