Offer Up Your Sanity
Again with the obscure Pumpkins lyric as a subject line. If you know where it's from, you get a gold star.
Anyways, the big news this week is that I got a job offer! Cerner has extended an invitation for me to work there when I graduate, and I have until December 22nd to decide. I'm currently in the process of contacting WashU people who work there, if you know of anyone besides Jenny McGee and Chris King, send me their email address and you get another gold star.
Accepting this offer would mean relocating westward to the Border of Civilization©, Kansas City, MO. Like ancient maps of the world, which depicted oceans west of Europe as being filled with sea monsters and mermaids, I think of the area west of KC as off the edge of the map (until you get to Cali and the O.C.).
Kansas City itself seems like a pleasant city, kind of like St. Louis Lite. It has many of the benefits of the Lou without the rampant crime. Although the Cardinals are definitely a much better team than the Royals, I would at least get to see the Red Sox 3 or 4 times a year, which is a plus. And the Chiefs play the Patriots much more often than the Rams do (minus huge Super Bowl upsets).
Comments
So does this mean now that we can start harassing you with Kansas jokes? Like quoting those scientific studies out there that show that Kansas is indeed flatter than a pancake?

There's no place like home; there's no place like home.
