Slacking, looking backwards

What could be more fascinating than a blog about how I forgot to blog? Oh, nevermind. I know better.

I would now like to point out the anniversaries of some crappy things, and optimistically note how much has changed.

Two years ago, I lost my fancy high-paying corporate healthcare job. I would have never pictured, or known how or where to apply for, my current job. Sure, it's not fancy, I don't have a health club membership, and it's pretty hard to describe what I do. But it's also perfect for me in that I pretty much do whatever they need to get done. It's a small company, they're not evil and I like truly everyone that works there. Happy ending? Works for me.

One year ago, I was going through the diagnosis part of the thyroid cancer experience. I still don't see a lesson learned or a horrible up or down side. It was just an experience. Perhaps this will reassure the people of Japan that their children will be fine after the radiation exposures. We can watch each other and smile and say, see, it was okay?

Maybe there was something learned - my hair is crazy curly now, instead of the nice wavy it used to be.
