Catching up

It's been a while since I last posted, so I guess I should catch up on a few things.

I took the California Supplemental Exam 4 weeks ago and, true to form for the State beaurocracy, I haven't received the results yet. (fingers crossed)

The healthcare reform bill passed with great fanfare or consternation, depending on which side of the political spectrum you were on.  I see it as a great step forward and a major accomplishment against great odds.  I, and quite a few others, lost a lot of faith in whether the bill would pass after Scott Brown's election to the Senate, and after President Obama's State of the Union speech.  Speaker Pelosi really came through, in my opinion.

I will be starting a new job with the Census at the end of the month.  Obviously the work will only be temporary, but work is work.  I'm looking forward to getting out in the community, maybe getting some exercise and meeting some new people.  I'm excited about performing a job that is actually written into the Constitution.

There was finally some significant job growth around the country last month.  Hopefully the economy has turned the corner and job growth will continue.

That's all for now.  I will try to be blogging more regularly now that I have gotten back into it.
