This is the time, this is the place

Hello and welcome to my blog and my first posting. If I had the option of putting a virtual red ribbon on here to virtually cut I would do but I can't so that's that really.

So I guess you all want to know what I've been doing today. Well, I could lie and say I've had a productive day and all that but that's not my style. I've basically done sod all. I've pretty much done some washing up and fed the cat and that sums it up. To the uninitiated, I do have a job but I'm semi-incapacitated at the moment and am off work due to having surgery recently . That's a long story though, so I won't bore you with that. Oh, go, on then, if I must, you've twisted my arm. I broke my wrist snowboarding in September and had to have it put back together with a metal plate and a range of screws which look suspiciously similar to ones that I remember being in my set of Meccano when I was a kid. The plan initially was to keep these bits of shrapnel in situ but they were proving troublesome so 3 weeks ago I went back under the knife to have them removed. Now safely housed in a sterile specimen pot, their new purpose is to amaze/disgust/intrigue friends and family. So consequently, I am extrememly bored at home on my own all day.

Oh, I've just remembered, I have done something else. I keep obsessively checking my emails and every morning I rush to see what post I've got. I'm waiting for a reply from the last med school I've yet to hear from. So far I've had 2 rejections without interview and 1 invitation to interview in March. I'm desperate to hear from this last place though. It's horrible to be waiting like this, it's pretty late in the day to still be waiting for a reply. In fact, I think they should interview me... it would be just too mean to keep me holding on like this for nada. I've given up trying to second guess what's going to happen though and I've resigned myself to the fact that it's going to be at least another 6 weeks 'til I learn my fate :oS

I'm hoping something at least slightly funny/entertaining will happen tomorrow so I'll have something to write about otherwise this blog idea is going to turn out to be very misguided.

Over and out
