Depressing Realization

[cornerofmadness]

You think you do a good job in keeping in touch. You usually end up with a small handful of friends that you remain in touch with after college (or in this case medical school) but damn it you're in touch. Only...you're not. I wanted to get my letters of recommendations updated so I'm calling my friends. One I'm still waiting on a call back (we're in touch at least via email). But the other two (husband and wife) have an over stuffed email account and has been for a while. So I call, realizing that it's been forever since I've called. (and vice versa) The phone number isn't valid. Well damn, that's depressing.

So today I call their medical offices. Neither of them are valid any more. Oh, dear God, these are whatI've been sending out to prospect employers (not this year which is why I was checking). No wonder I can't get a damn job. It looks real good when two of your three references don't have a working phone number. So I go to Yahoo yellow pages. THank god they're there. I put in a call. Waiting on a call back. And I swear after this, I will do a better job of staying in touch with my friends.
