Employed again!
...Pending a negative urine drug screen and criminal background check.
Why, oh why, did I smoke all that crack this weekend? :-O
I'll be treating the worried well and their children again, with a few substance abusers thrown into the mix to keep things interesting.
The clinic is a 27 second commute from my house by car, or a 5 minute walk in heels. And it is just up the road from my kid's school. So looks like I *will* be able to juggle all this. Just took a little searching to find the right place.
Pay is good, too.
I'll be damn happy to see that first paycheck.

Great nooze
Leave the car at home, keep the heels at work, wear tennys for the walk to work. Much safer on feet and balance, 'specially with snow... ;-)

The Brisk Walks in Sub-Zero Michigan Weather
should really get you going. Or freeze you.
One friend spoke of washing his afro, then going outside in -30 Michigan weather with his hair wet. It froze quick, and when he ran his hand over his head, his hair broke off!

Must be a Michigan thing
Everyone in Minnesota knows that you need to use antifreeze when washing your hair.

Nah, that's a myth , AFAIK
We used to do that all the time as kids- go outside in below zero temps with wet hair. The water freezes on your hair, but the hair itself doesnt freeze. So yeah, you're snapping off ice, but it slides right off the hair when it breaks. Maybe your friend had exceptionally brittle hair.
I like the cold. I could do without the snow, though.

-20 F in Chicago was fun. ~ 1982 or so.
That's about the coldest I remember. It froze the hairs inside my nose. Ouch.
Cheers,

Don't forget the wind chill back then
it pushed the numbers to -60F for 4 weekends straight. I was living down the street from campus 2 blocks from the lakefront. Some of the bars in the area had a major drop in attendance because only the diehard alkies ventured out in search of boozy nights.

"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow

-26 F (-32 C) in Upstate NY.
On the plus side, when it's that cold it's usually calm as well and walking on squeaky, crunchy snow is interesting. Hey, I'm easily amused.
On the minus side, I think that's the day I had to bring the car battery inside the house and sit it a sink full of hot water for a while. That's not a fun thing to have to do before being able to start a car and go to work.

Your kids must sing and dance for you again!

Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?
