Blah week with an upside

I'm going to try and be more consistent in my blogging this year but we shall see what happens. This week was strange - everyone in the office commented on how it seemed to drag by and the remaining few who were not sick before finally got sick. So the office was quiet since people kept taking sick days. I finally heard back about the position I applied for back in December - I have an interview on Thursday for it (finally). I got an email at work about it yesterday at 3:30 (way to leave it until the last minute there folks). I am nervous but those still at the office were excited for me and giving me tips/hints for my interview. We'll see what happens. The main thing in my favor is my knowledge of the programs they use in addition to seeing/being a part of the day to day work. In theory, this means I understand the job better than an outsider.
So in addition to the craziness at work, it was Valentine's Day this week. David and I ate at home on the actual day. Sole almondine with rolls, asparagus, and rice. It was delicious. Then on Thursday, we ordered Outback to go and had a nice picnic on our living room floor. There is this new steak called the Tuscan. You have to get it!! We have a new favorite steak now.
Then this weekend is the recruitment weekend for the pharm/tox program. So dinner last night was at Gentle Ben's - a bar/restaurant down on 4th/University which is very popular with students. Food was alright. I enjoyed the cold vegetables tossed in olive oil and basil the most. Since it was at a bar, there was beer involved. People watching becomes more interesting then. I could tell who really had too much to drink and people (recruits and students) did not mingle much until after the first pitchers of beer were gone. Hopefully tonight there will be more mingling.
