I had a patient’s family member who tried to suck all the life from me (I think he objected to the way I breathe. It’s probably inefficient).

When I submitted my application, the computer said to expect 3-4 weeks before I heard back from them.
The computer LIED.
They called after 5 days. I have an interview next Wednesday (as in a week from today).
So, sometime this weekend, when I am not at the Lavender festival or trying out the University Universalist Unitarian [...]
