Ok hi everyone! I am at home sniffling with a cold and my sister, Tamra, emailed me a nudge and basically reminded me to update my blog site. I have only written in it once so far and am not very sure what to write now. Not much has changed...it is almost Spring...I am going to Atlanta, GA at the end of March for training at the CDC for a new method using the LC-MS/MS tandems system and am truly excited for the trip. I hope to be able to go to at least one FERN training this year too, but we'll see with the budget being what it is and all. The two classes I am interested are FERN funded, but you still need to be nominated, accepted, and then convince the State to allow the travel. Even though it is not their money...it is the fed's...they still control the purse strings and do not always want to let you do what you should be able to. Ahhh...our lovely government. So much I could say...yet so little to it really. I am thankful to be gainfully employeed, even if it is only on an anual basis that I find out if I still have a job. I hope this blog finds everyone well...as I mentioned in the begining of this short little blog...I have a cold right now and am at home sniffling.
