DW is a Pharmacist at the University of Michigan Medical Center. I'm a Respiratory Therapist, now working as a consultant for a major respiratory medical equipment manufacturer. Eldest daughter is a 3rd grade teacher at a Detroit area school. Her husband is a nurse. Youngest daughter is in her last year of Pharmacy School at U of M. All of us love OKW!

Hope your wife isn't the one that failed to have my backup ready when I reacted to my test dose of morphine after my c-section-nothing like going unmedicated for an hour because they can't find the pharmacist:scared1:

Really, though, we LOVE UofM, we drive there over our local hospital:thumbsup2

[Simba's Mom]

DH & I are both educators. He is a high school band director and I am an elementary school guidance counselor. No DVC trips for us during adventure season:teacher:
High school band director-now there's a 6-7 day a week job, and very late nights during football season when parents don't show up to pick up their kids. DS is currently teaching at a band camp, just enough exposure to the life so that he's sure he doesn't want to be a high school band director. Your DH has a very difficult, underappreciated job.

[bradpga]

What is "down time"?????
Oh.... you must be referring to Mondays. Yes we are closed on Mondays (most of them). Other than that, 6 days a week of busting A@$!

My hat's off to you. DS is working as an assistant at a band camp this summer-just long enough to know he's glad he's not majoring in music education. He says it's so stressful, trying to keep the students attentive and motivated all the time. It must take a special touch.

To CarolA, I too had my job outsourced to India a year ago June. I knew it was coming so had started looking beforehand, 3 weeks after the layoff I had an offer.
