Perspectives of a Canadian in the Old/Deep/New/Geographic South: This is where I ramble on about nothing in particular and post a few nice pictures.
In less than a week, two floors of the corner of one building for the new hospital sprouted up with pillars to support the third floor going up as I left work today. At this rate this first building should be up within a year or so. From what I’ve heard, this building is supposed to house the diagnostic and treatment building: lab, radiology, offices, clinics etc. Should be fun watching the tower building go up. The campus is going to be a busy place for a long time.
Nala turns 6 months in a few days and is getting close to 55 pounds now. I’m sure her feet are growing faster than the rest of her, because she’s got the biggest feet I’ve seen on a dog her size. In typical lab fashion, she’s always following one of us around trying to see what we’re up to, running to us or after us. So some part of us is always getting stepped on. A few months ago when she was smaller, it wasn’t such a big deal, but now you definitely notice her big paws have intruded on your space.
I was walking down the hall past the Morgue, and noticed they have a new sign. I guess the Morgue people (or most likely some overly-PC administrator somewhere) have decided ‘Morgue’ is too crass, grisly or scary sounding so now they’re calling it ‘Decedent Affairs’, which I guess is a more PC way of putting things.
My first thought on seeing the sign was “They spelled decadent wrong”, but then I wondered what “Decadent Affairs” would be. Probably not entirely appropriate for a hospital. It probably would have been more interesting and a lot more fun though.
So apparently I’ve had this blog going for 2 years and 677 entries (not including this one) as of today. I have to admit I’m a little bit surprised I’m still doing this, yet it doesn’t really feel like it’s been two years. Who’d have thought I’d have this much to say!
With all the new stuff going on (the house, new equipment at work, new research), I think this third year of blogging might be more interesting (at least for me anyway).
Stay tuned and see where the ride goes!
