Back In The Workforce

This week Holly began orientation for her new job.  Yes, that’s right.  Holly has re-entered the workforce.  This time though, instead of playing with surgical tools, she gets to play with real live people.

Let me start at the beginning.  A few weeks back, Holly found a job posting for a LPN in the psych ward at a hospital in Ogden.  It was a part time position and she was itching to start using her nursing abilities so she applied, interviewed, and got the job.

The job will be good for a few reasons.  First, Holly will have better benefits than I do which is never a bad thing.  It’s also an IHC facility which we learned from her stint at LDS Hospital is just plain awesome.  (They treated her really well when she worked for them before.)  They will also work around her school schedule which will allow her to finish her last semester of nursing school, become a RN, then move to a different department (hopefully labor and delivery.)  Probably the best part though is that she’ll get experience in a medical field.  Sure, she could go to work at a nursing home but who wants to do that when you can work in a psychiatric ward?

The Dark Knight Reviewed

Ever since I saw the ending of Batman Begins where we are shown a playing card with a joker on it, I have been highly anticipating this sequel in the Batman franchise.  I am a huge fan of the Batman comics and have always thought that the Joker was one of the best villains.  Now we have a movie that pits the madness of the Joker against the madness of the Batman.  What’s not to get excited about?  (Yes, I know that Tim Burton did the Batman vs. Joker thing back in 1989.  I was excited for it back then too.)

The Dark Knight is probably the best movie based on a comic book that I have ever seen.  There was so much that was good about it that what was bad is inconsequential.  Here are a few of my thoughts on the movie.  Warning!  Minor spoilers ahead!
