Kate

This girl Kate is all over Veoh.

The concept for Veoh is kinda cool. The intro video gets a little boring. I originally DLed it to get more random videos to take around on my PSP because it was shown somewhere to work well with PSP (but you have to have the Sony DL manager thing or whatever), but it does also have videos there that already work with your video iPod...

Anyway, yeah. check it out if you want. The videos aren't so great, but it's something to peruse.

no comment

because i'm sure this picture speaks for itself

thanks for the memories

i've always wanted to do the big "fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, fuck you i'm out" but i write something lame such as,

"dear __________,

this letter serves as my two week notice. it was great working with you and i'll miss you all.

elaine"

and it's usually been written on a piece of reciept paper or whatever legal pad was around the coffee bar at borders. and since i quit borders a total of 3, possibly 4 times they never took it too seriously and i might still have a time card at the last store i worked at.

the next time i quit...i'll look here for some templates.

grad school hunt it actually happening. i'm getting info packets as we speak. might i actually leave my corporate monkey life for some more escuela? es possible.

one can only hope.

quitting is for quitters, dumbass

seeing as how most of my previous jobs have been waitressing jobs, i'm gonna have to say that every time i've quit a restaurant has been the best quitting experience of my life. except i always let it get to the point where i want to injure myself so i have an excuse not to go to work, or if i'm already there, to get sent home. the prospect of sending out resumes and going to interviews is so horrible that i end up staying way past any sane amount of time at any one restaurant job. which makes quitting all the more sweet.

speaking of changes, i've sent out a couple of resumes to some places in sf. altho, i don't think i'm ready to live on this coast yet as i'll be bombarded with familial doodies. hell no, i won't go.

My Best Two Week Notice

Dear L______, et al:

I hereby declare this my two weeks notice effective immediately, resulting in my last day of employment with the company being Friday April ___, 20__.

Although I have experienced an expanding affinity to and camaraderie with my fellow employees, it is not enough to outweigh my growing displeasure towards my position that I fear is becoming increasingly externally evident. After establishing a favorable rapport with everyone in the [company], my intent is not to burn bridges. However, in this instance, I must act selfishly and concern myself with my own well-being.

I hope that my actions do not foster any sense of bitterness from the staff or management towards myself as there is none being harbored on my end other than my discontent feelings regarding the position from which I am resigning, i.e. this is not personal.

I thank everyone for their contributions of fond memories and jovial moments, but the time has come for us to part ways.


Respectfully,


E___ _____

full time quitter

ok nothing in particluar but let me just say working in health care is not such a bad gig. There is such a big shortage in alot of areas, especially nursing that you practically trip over the job offers.
At this point I like to call myself something of a full time quitter. You would think people reviewing my resume would have a problem seeing me always leaving after a year at most every job I've had. But they still keep calling..
Anyway at my last job, there really wasn't any drama. All I really did my last day was call alot of my clients up to say goodbye, and coincedentally, some of them want me to come in for interviews which I'm probably going to take one of them up on. The rest of the time I spent drawing "dino fest 2006" along with various dinosaurs (usually a t-rex cuz those are my favorites) and just leaving them in odd places around the office. Mail room, fax machine, other cubicles.
Last time I quit a job i took about 6 months before I started a new job, i'm trying to cut down on that drastically this time, but whats the hurry?

TOPIC ANNOUNCEMENT: JAN 19, 2006

Happy New Smear, folks.

With the new year comes changes.
The topic this time around is all about changes, starting your life anew... or not.
Times like these, they feel so good you'll want to go out and have a drink. Or they'll be so bad that you'll need a drink.
Either way, you probably need help as you might be an alcoholic.

With no further ado, our new topic to be announced today is:


Best/Worst experience you've had quitting a job.





On an administrative note:
I won't place the order for tshirts until the #'s are large enough to merit an order.
A run of 10 won't cut it.
So make sure you comment with your sizes/quantities!

(this, of course, is for people i know and can distribute to/collect from. strangers... try ebay later on. maybe.)

Bone Marrow Transplant Program Article in the OC Register

Again, not a good look.
(Trying to) Save Face, Dean Cesario:



Dear Colleagues,

Today's Orange County Register ran an article on UCI's Bone Marrow Transplant Program. The paper will have you believe that the program is failing and that its leadership is divided. Again, we find ourselves in the unfortunate position to tell you that there have been omissions and incomplete truths reported about UCI and its faculty.

It's very important for the UCI community to know that the reporters at the Register were provided the following information about our bone marrow transplant program, but they chose not to include it in today's
article:

University of California, Irvine has an active bone marrow transplant program with excellent patient outcomes. Since 1995, UCI has provided
127 bone marrow transplants. In the last five years (since Jan 2001), we've performed 43. Forty-two of the 43 survived for 100 days or more after transplant. Thirty-six of the 43 are still living.

UCI Medical Center is the only university hospital and National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center in Orange County. At UCI, patients receive a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to medicine that ensures the best continuity of care. Our physicians are respected leaders in hematological disorders and are highly regarded in their fields. A trained team of professional nurses and support staff complete the team to ensure that our patients have quality care and psychological and social support at all times.

Every patient who has needed a bone marrow transplant and qualified for a transplant at UCI has received one. UCI is not a designated Center of Excellence, as defined by Medi-Cal but it continues to support patients who qualify for BMT procedures and/or other promising treatment options. Several other bone marrow transplant programs in Southern California are not designated as Centers of Excellence and they are also providing this much needed service to their patients and to their community.

We are not FACT accredited (Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy) but this accreditation is voluntary and BMT programs are not required to participate. The UCI bone marrow transplant program is recognized by the American Association of Blood Banks, International Bone Marrow Transplant Registry, American Society for Clinical Pathology, and a member of five other National Cancer Institute-sponsored cooperative oncology groups, which allow access to clinical trials sponsored by NCI.

Regretfully, today's article alluded to many things that were unfair and disheartening to our faculty and staff - including the implication that there is something wrong with a doctor working at multiple locations. By having positions at both UCI and CHOC, Dr. Leonard Sender is able to provide his expertise to both adults and children in the community. We are looking at developing a closer working relationship with CHOC as it is to the benefit of the community to share the experience and knowledge of these two institutions. Dr.
Sender's ties to UCI Medical Center are strong. He completed both his residency and internship here and we are very proud to have him on board.

As disappointing as it may be to see negative news about UCI in the press again, we stand behind our physicians and our trained team of professional nurses and support staff that comprises the bone marrow transplant program. Let's continue to be proud of our many accomplishments and focus on achieving our mission as a premiere university medical center. We continue to train the physicians of tomorrow and support our dedicated UCI employees who provide high-quality patient care each and every day.

Thank you all for your support and loyalty to the organization.

Sincerely,

Thomas C. Cesario, MD
Dean, College of Health Sciences and School of Medicine

Liver Transplant Program

Not a good look.
From UC Irvine Chancellor Michael Drake:



Dear Colleagues:

As you know, we closed UCI Medical Center's Liver Transplant Program in November 2005. I am writing to update you on some of the actions that have taken place since that time.

I first became aware of concerns regarding the program on the morning of November 10, 2005. We suspended the program that morning, and later that day closed it, pending the results of a fact-finding mission which began that afternoon. On November 11, we began the process of notifying patients on our waiting list that the program was closing, and working with them to facilitate their transfer to liver transplant programs in Los Angeles or San Diego. We instructed our team to make contact that day with all patients, contacting those with the highest severity scores first, and the others within 48 hours. We followed up later that week by registered mail, and ultimately coordinated in-person visits for those patients who did not respond to our calls or registered letters. We continue to work with these patients to manage their liver disease and to facilitate their placement onto lists at programs in other regions.

On November 14, we formed a blue-ribbon committee of nationally prominent, experienced reviewers to examine the liver transplant program's management in detail, and asked that they report back to me by early February. The committee held its first meeting in mid-December, and will meet again later this month prior to submitting its report. The CEO of the hospital was placed on administrative leave during the review process. Additionally the dean of the School of Medicine relocated his primary office from the main campus to the medical center.

In December, I met with leaders of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in Washington D.C. to discuss this matter.
CMS and the California Department of Health Services conducted audits of our medical center. UCI representatives will be meeting with the United Organ Sharing Network later this month. We are fully and actively cooperating with all of these agencies. Additionally, through the University of California's Washington D.C. office, we have made contact with legislators who have expressed interest in this matter. We are committed to partnering with all relevant agencies and legislators to improve the quality of transplant programs nationally.

Following receipt of the blue-ribbon committee report and the results of state and federal audits, we will endeavor to implement any changes that are appropriate to assure ourselves, the regulatory bodies, and - most importantly - the public that the UCI Medical Center is setting the standard for efficient, effective, timely, evidence-based, patient-centered care. Quality patient care is our first priority.

I will continue to update you on this matter.

Michael V. Drake
