good news everyone, bellevue hospital made me an offer...and i accepted, though details are still limbo as i have been playing voicemail tag with my new bosses. and i really thought i bombed that interview too. i have to say i'm very excited...yet quite nervous, which doesn't happen when it comes to work...haven't felt this jittery since school. this is the big time...what i've been waiting for. i think i will be starting out in outpatient care, so the transition won't be too bad...hours 8am to 3pm, sweet. 4 weeks vacation and full benefits. is it bad to give too weeks notice coming back from a vacation? but i figure since i get out early, that i could work at the old job in the evenings if they need a hand. extra money is never bad.

so i went to the Getty Center today. the place was beautiful, up on hilltop which you had to take monorail too. reminded me of a futuristic city, right before the cylons attack. caught up on my greek mythology as there were a lot of sculps...always get the roman and greeks names mixed up. also made me long for spain, they had a spanish artist exhibit there as well, goya's drawings are amazing. oh and they had a genius' in photography exhibit which was cool...psyched me up for the diane arbus exhibit at LACMA that i'll see tomorrow or thursday. after the getty, i took a drive to the shore and went up route 1 and enjoyed the scenery. the lack of traffic allowed me to take liberties with speed and i was taking those curves like a nascar driver. stopped a couple of times to look at some interesting rock formations near the water...yes, i climbed them too. joshua tree is kinda a far and they're pushing 100+ degrees, so i figured that rock climbing this time o' year...not so much. i'll wait for the gunks upstate when i get back. so in the meantime, there's a cool rock gym near LAX that i'm definitely doing tomorrow.

wish i had the USB hook up so i could add pics. damn!! drove thru beverly hills and bel air...passed thru UCLA and saw pepperdine...if i went to school here, i'd get nothing done. was very tempted to get a star map...just to have, cause i thinks it's funny.

can't get used to this damn time difference...it's like 2am over by you guys and i'm dying here at 11pm.
