    My next thing to try to tackle on the wedding to-do list is to get my FI and his groomsmen, our dads, and ring bearers all measured for tuxes.  Also, to send out our invitations by the end of this month.  I also need to schedule my dress fitting and hair trial!

    Ugh, I have been bugging about tuxedo's too. Granted we only need his, his brothers and our dads because the other groomsmen will be in their military dress uniforms.

    I need to get on tuxes too. We can't decide on colors for everyone. We also can't decide if my FFIL will be in a tux. He is performing our ceremony.

    Yeah, do you think this month is too early for them to get their measurements done?  We have 4 OOT men, and I feel like they need to get their's done asap so they can get their measurements to the same tuxedo shop that we are ordering everyone else's from!  I would rather have them come in early than be late or cut it too close to the wedding date.  Plus, it's just another thing to check off of the list lol!

    I'm here.  I'm listening to SYTTD and messing around online for a bit before I apply to some jobs.



    Harper - that sounds really interesting.  If you want an extra reader I'll volunteer!

    I'm here. I'm just cathing up on my dvr'd shows from the week.

    Ashlyn- I don't think this month is to early especially since you have OOT men. I also have OOT men and I made FI go last week because 2 of them were coming home for the weekend. I wanted him to get it done a while ago but he just kept telling me it didn't need to be done yet. I was VERY happy to check that one off the list!

    Ashley, what kind of boards is your FI taking? My FI is in his second year of med school and is taking his first set of boards end of May/beginning of June. Depending on the timing of when he takes it, we'll either find out the results right before the wedding or while we're on our honeymoon!

    Sort of.  I applied for a job with my FI's company and he told me they are calling for interviews next week.  Everyone I know who knows about the company thinks I have no problem getting in.  It's not what I ultimately want but it will help for a while.

    Beyond that, I've applied to some at a larger hospital groups near me but the ones I'm really hoping for there are currently in limbo.  The people hiring can't right now and the president is meeting with them to discuss it (even though it's already been approved for the budget).

    I'm still in research.  Today was my last official day working full time.  My lab studies behavioral neuropsychopharmacology.  I do a lot with MDMA and methamphetamine and some work with cocaine.  With that I look at a lot of serotonin, dopamine, various behaviors, and some MEMRI and MRS.  The other part of my lab does research on PTSD so that's where I'm looking at a combination of various neurochemicals and TBI injuries to hopefully come up with a better therapy.
    I still love the science but what I ultimately would love to do I can't for the pay and benefits I would like.  Now I'm planning on doing healthcare admin.  I definitely want to keep ahold of the neuroscience/psychiatry side for a while and work my way up to hospital president.

    Yeah I'm still not sure if I will stay in research. I hear ya about the pay. 

    I grew up around the hospital life. Both my parents work in admin at local hospitals. My mom does quality control and my dad works in government and community involvement. He started as a radiology tech and went back and got is masters in hospital admin.

    I've weighed my options and between the pay, money NIH keeps losing every year, and how much I work I don't think it's worth it much any more.  Plus, my grants haven't been doing well to get funded lately, I'm over worked, and honestly just sick of doing so much admin stuff and unable to do the part I enjoy most, the science.  I figure I'm doing so much of the admin stuff now I may as well get my next degree in it and get paid properly.  Plus then I can always keep up with the science still by staying in that area.

    What first got you into research?  If you do get out of it, what do you think you'd go into?

    My clothes aren't fitting any differently so I think it's just my nerves kicking in.  Last time I had the dress on it was loose, but I didn't have on my bra or slip.  So that probably made a difference.
