| "There is no absolute known cause for eczema, or atopic dermatitis, but
there is a genetic component to the condition. It often runs in
families with a 60% chance of a child having eczema if one parent has
eczema. If both parents have eczema, there is an 80% chance that the
child will have eczema, too."
I guess I won't be having kids...

| Cigarettes
With all the bad press that surrounds cigarettes, I have to say the one that cigarettes don't do, is to kill smokers faster. They say you lose two minutes of your life for every cigarette smoked...too bad it isn't two days.

Work
It's been about 6 months that I've been working now and so far so good, as the job goes. It's busy work at times because everybody wants you to stop what you're doing and help them with their problems. However, at times, it can be boring, not going to lie. Things do get interesting sometimes, but it's very people dependent. For example, when I have to shadow physicians, I get to see some cool/disgusting things. I got to watch a physician stitch up wounds (I thought that was cool) and I got to see a girl's x-ray where she swallowed a bolt. But sometimes I follow the boring, paranoid people who believe that I'm going to get them fired, so it's not a pleasant experience.
The new year will be pretty hectic and exciting for us. The company is planning on opening new services around Fredericksburg. One of which is the new trauma center and I've been helping them with the planning schedule. Another one is a free-standing ED, which is like a small scale hospital and it's main purpose is to relieve the volume of the main hospital by looking at lower acuity patients. I've been helping the new Director with writing the operations plan for it. The last opening is a 100 bed hospital which will be located north of the main hospital. My co-workers and I will be helping by writing the operations plan for the small scale departments for that hospital.
The experience that I receive by working here is truly invaluable and for that I am constantly grateful for the company's faith in me.
Living
My living situation is horrendous. I abhor the apartment where I live at and it's all correlated to my neighbors and the bar next door. I believe that the bar attracts the deadbeats to live in this apartment. Here are some examples:
1. One of my neighbors got evicted because he was selling cocaine to people.
2. Another neighbor got his door kicked in by two drunk people. I don't know if they were his friends or if they wanted to give him a good scare.
3. Most of the people in this apartment smoke, so they smoke in their rooms and it drifts out into the hallway and then eventually into my room. So I wake up smelling like I just smoked a pack.
4. Someone puked somewhere in the hallway, so for about two weeks, the hallway smelled like barf.
But the good news is, I found a new place and I'll be moving out in about two weeks. It's a bit more expensive but it's much bigger and they cover one more utility cost than my current place, so the pricing evens out.
Life
Non-existent. I feel like I've reached a plateau point. I wake up, go to work, come home, make dinner, watch tv or play video games, sleep, rinse, repeat. I have no girlfriend, no hobby, no post graduate degree, no killer abs. I guess that's what the next year will be all about. Continuous Improvement on myself. See you next year. Goodbye 2007, you've been...interesting.
