Morning Pubski!

Kind of a slow week, lots of hospital staff take this week or the week after for vacation. That leaves me, good music, and spreadsheets. Had a meeting with the bosses yesterday. After discussing our recent enrollments (Flawless), our recruitment pipeline (Robust, full of patients eager to participate in research) and our plans for the next month or so, we talked about my plans for grad school. As it stands right now, my primary project wraps up new patient enrollment late in the fall, and the time commitment in terms of real hours-per-week will drop dramatically. I could choose to just pick up a new project, or assist on smaller parts of big ones, but by then I should be (Fingers crossed) admitted to one of the three programs I'm applying for. My boss thinks that would be a great idea on all levels. She gets to keep the study coordinator that has the highest data quality in our research group, and who keeps most issues out of her hair, and I get to work the most flexible possible hours while pursuing my degree.

It's a good feeling pubski. I was having kind of a bad day monday, and the bad mood persisted into yesterday morning. But I'm pushing back that dark as best I can, and it seems to be working.

On a more fun note, I have a date set for Saturday and a benefit concert for a non-profit hospice center on Sunday. The timing wasn't ideal but we've managed to sell quite a few tickets, despite performing a really depressing Requiem on Valentine's Day. Link for the interested, Durufle, Op #9
