Obviously it was a while until I got the chance to complete the last story. This one comes from Australia, having arrived safely back this morning. The remainder of the conference was good - like I said, plenty of socialising and managed to catch up ... Read more >

No sooner than my alarm clock rang for me to wake up and register for classes for my Spanish Health Care Interpreting courses, had my district manager called me. It was 8am sharp. I was tempted not to answer the call as I was anticipating him ... Read more >

Keep on truckin'. That's classic Heather Grant. The Convention has progressed well - today's talks were excellent. Socially I've had a great time (my liver has not) but it has been sometimes hard to dodge the assumption I'm a young vet/intern ... Read more >
