Howdy. We've moved from Cayce, but St. Elizabeth of South Rose Hill or Lizette de Waccamaw de Sud just don't do it for me.

Update on the week of typing

As for the stuff I'm supposed to get done this week:

  • 75 minute presentation on Disease Reporting (due to print shop 2/20) -- DONE
  • 60 minute presentation on Interviewing Skills for Public Health Investigators (due to print shop 2/20) --NOT EVEN BEGUN -- we'll be making copies sometime next week....
  • 50 minute presentation on multidisciplinary response to outbreaks of diarrheal illness in long-term care facilities (due to print shop 2/20) -- DONE
  • Tweaking last year's presentation for nurse training on mass casualty incident response (due to USC 2/24) --extended to next Monday
  • More edits on school and childcare exclusion lists (due for posting on website by 2/28) --We had a three hour meeting where people argued about the societal consequences, yes, societal consequences, of each change. On track.
  • Completing application for nursing continuing education credits for upcoming conference, including hounding other presenters who haven't turned in their sections (must be completed by 2/25) --Many, many hours on this, at work until 9:30 tonight, which meant missing most of 1st half of Duke game. On track. I've received all the bios (yay!)
  • Creating kid-friendly brochure re: body piercing and rumors (needed in school ASAP, promised for 2/20) --DONE
  • Unexpected additions, or things I forgot to mention last Friday:
  • Peanut butter outbreak calls, many, many calls.--Expanding--
  • Working statewide with many, many GI illness outbreaks -- Unending
  • Two on-call days, plus night call.--Continuing
  • Meetings, drives, etc. -- Unending
  • The Bulletin--Done
  • Blogging? A few moments stolen during the "suck-nd half" of the Duke Clempson game. We let a 20 point lead go down to 6! Now 5!

    OK, looking better. 5 point lead with 6.5 seconds to go.

    Izzy's not a bad commentator. So long as they keep broadcasting games without Dickie V, I'm glad to have Izzy offering opinions.

    Final: 71-66. It's 11:20 -- time to head off to sleep to get ready for another day of not getting everything done.

    Maybe I'll give up stressing for Lent. (How to do without giving up employment...?)
