Progress at my workplace is slow and roughly measured in papers published, but it seems to be enough to sustain me. My mild but pervasive misanthropy helps too, I'm sure. :) That feeling is important.

Then after I started taking harp lessons, it was harpist. I remember not really wanting to try too many things, so I didn't have too many ideas for career paths.

I never was though. :) I didn't mention my current job because while it's a nice place to work and there are countless comfortable things about it, I don't love the work the way I feel I want to. I just need to come home every day and feel like I did something and I haven't felt that since I was closing support tickets.

Hey, I was being realistic. I ended up making it halfway to scientist and it's pretty nice, so I guess it worked out for me? And was the best paying of all those options.

I was watching one twitter nurse manager talking about how her hospital was instituting a dress code that requires cover up. We shall see... Thank you! I am very excited!

I'm really curious to see how your tattoos are going to help or hinder you. I mean no offense by that. I'm just super curious how they will be received by your future patients. I'm sure some will have an instant connection with you over them and others will be put off by them. That will be an interesting story to hear as you go through school and enter the career field. Best of luck to you! I wish you the best of luck as you embark on this path.
