Coworker

This was one of my coworkers at Tulane. She got a new job, post-hurricane, and was quoted in a story about the industry she works in now:

"I'm local -- born and raised. When I came back I had a job, but I ended up being unhappy there..."

I can only imagine what an unhappy place the urology department was after Katrina. Not that it was Disneyland before. But corpse-stink (from the anatomy department around the corner) and high-functioning psychopaths in the faculty would have made it a new circle of hell. Had I still been working there and had the option of going back to Tulane or bailing out floodwater with a spoon I would have been reaching for the silverware drawer.
