First Anesthesiology Residency interview is this upcoming Monday in Georgia. I have three set up so far. My wife has like 14 Pediatrics interviews, so I have some catching up to do.

Just bought a nintendo switch to get me through the many hours I'll be spending on an airplane over the next 3 months.

Zackk, good luck, sounds like you are doing great with your plans.

I gave up the computer gig almost 3 years ago. I hated it and I wasn't good at it anyways. I now work for a "prestigious" all women's college here in Massachusetts. I work for the college's Dining Services Department, and I manage a dining hall (2 rooms separated by 250 foot long kitchen). Yes, I am officially a "lunch lady" and I am okay with that. The kitchen I work at is the Asian Fusion kitchen. Fusion meaning a bunch of white people cooking. We're one of the busier kitchens and understaffed on campus. I have about 15 student workers from all over the world that I manage. My current head student worker is from Kenya, she is awesome. I also have quite a bit of students from Nepal & South America. I take care of everything that has to do with the Dining Halls, cleaning, stocking, etc. The pay is great, highest in state of MA for food service, and it's a union job. I can take summer's off, but I find work at the college through their summer programs. I have also been in a relationship for almost 6 years now, bless her soul she is amazing. I was able to get her a job at the college last year. So things are good. knock on wood.

edit*
I am also on the board for a non profit in CT that my friend started to raise money for the homeless. We do adventure gaming nights playing Hero-quest. www.dungeonsofhope.org is the charity.

I used to work for these guys. I've been searching high and low for the best deal on my first truck for my event services company, and it turns out it's 2 miles from my house. They bought it new in 2011 for $140k and I'm picking it up for $22.5k. The used ambulance market is so hard to figure out.

Love the Tacoma. Picked it up a month ago and have about 1000 miles on it now. I have the Off Road which offers a better ride than the Sport, which is tuned a bit tighter. Very spacious interior. I did order a knockoff TRD Pro grill to get rid of that cheese grater. Also, I'm seeing rumors for a diesel Tacoma in the next year or 2? That will kick ass. 2018+ all have the tech package standard. My '17 does not. If I had to pick again, I'd have gotten something with the tech package (parking sensors, auto lights, radar for cruise control, etc). I will tell you this, it will certainly hold up better for you against your next unfortunate combine incident..

Damn that looks nice. Awesome ambulance steal, and awesome memory on the combine lmao.

Wife's CX5 is paid off this year so if a deal presents itself I may jump on it. Still need to get the bumper fixed on the fit from when I was rear ended.

So much better.

You may not have much luck finding any deals on a new taco. Dealers don't seem to be willing to budge much and know they retain their value. If you're looking for a 2nd gen CPO, you might!
