- During the second round of the SEC Tournament, a tornado struck the Georgia Dome and all of its in habitats were put at danger. It was not the first time I have been in a Tornado, but I hope it was the last. During Tornado 2K0 I was in Pep's Burritos, and it was not a pleasant experience.
- Fast Forward 2 more days: The Match results are coming out. For those of you not familiar with the match, it decides which sites a potential Pharmacy Resident will spend the next year of their life. In my case, I was hoping to find out I would be spending the next year as a hopeful resident at one of the 2 major academic sites in the city of Atlanta: Emory or Grady.
- Of these 2 sites, I was hoping for Grady. I interviewed at both places, and I hoped for a spot at one. Yet, March 15th came and went and I did not match with a residency program.
- At this point, I began the scramble for a pharmacist position at any hospital in Atlanta.
- Kelly Smith offered her assistance, and all Residency programs I applied to "were shocked I did not match anywhere."
- In the meantime, my beloved University of Kentucky Wildcats lost for the first time in the First Round of the NCAA tournament to our beloved douche bags of the North, the Marquette Golden Worthless Sacks of Garbage (Eagles).
- Apparently not shocked enough to accept me for their program, but so shocked that they did not want to accept me. This was obviously a low point in my career.
- Well, with the help of Dr Kelly Smith and others I was offered multiple opportunities in my career. One of these opportunities was to accept a staff pharmacist position at Grady Health System. I accepted the position, and here I am. Not where I want to be, but not that far away. Remember, if you want me, you better bring your A game.
