Money!

I had my Target interview today and I got the job. I am now a Pharmacy Technician/Cart Attendant/Cashier. I'm happy though that I now have a job. It pays off to be a valedictorian and going to UVA because it helps to distinguish you from the rest. My base pay rate begins now at $7.00 an hour. Yay for me! I think I shall go on a spending splurge and buy some more books. Yesterday I went book shopping and bought (let me get out the list):
-Weiten's Psychology: Themes and Variations
-Study Guide for Weiten's Psychology
-Single Variable Calculus (already had the class but couldn't resist buying it anyway)
-Mosby's Clinical Manual of Health Assessment
-Mosby's Health Assessment (different book from above)
-C++ Interactive Course

I have been augmenting my medical kit further by adding a 4" elastic wrap (ACE wrap type) and a roll of 3" Coban gauze (self adhering). The bag is getting fairly large now and I need to find a way to reinforce the bottom of it which leaves me one of two options: a) stick a piece of cardboard down into the bag (not very aesthetically pleasing) or b) sew a piece of foam into the bottom. I think I'll also spray the bag with a waterproofing compound. Again, I shall post pictures when I am done constructing the bag.

Antibiotic, Telithromycin, Can Help Some Asthma Patients
'According to an international study of 278 patients in 70 centres, an antibiotic called Telithromycin reduces asthma symptoms and enhances lung function. Researchers also found that the drug improved recovery times.'

Stay safe everyone,
Bravomedic out.
