• Thanks everyone for your comments - it's wonderful to hear from everyone and it's also wonderful to be looking forward to a first shift job!

  What's next?
  I'll be switching companies to a smaller company that doesn't test donor blood. I'll be working heavily on the R&D end, though I will be cross-trained and will learn all the automated testing they do (like for cholesterol levels and the like) but most of my work will be in optimizing other test methods as well as eventually (if funding comes through) in creating my OWN test methods.

  Sounds exciting, no?

  I'm trying to not get too excited and to, at the same time, not be too sad. As much as I hate working third shift or second shift, I've made some good friends and some good contacts at my old job and leaving my first REAL job is going to be hard. I'm pulling out roots when I go, and I know it's only going to hurt more when I actually don't go back anymore.

  But I must further my career and re-awaken my brain. I need to learn!

  Plus, I'll get to see my husband more and hopefully we'll be able to get Mr. Dog into Agility classes sooner!
