There are more universities and colleges in the USA than you can shake a stick at.  I bet 90% of them aren't worth the paper they write the degree on.

Mini-rant here...

 

Co-workers with a last name that is a common first name. Passing in the hall... awkward pause trying to remember, then, "Hey Paul, I mean George, I mean Paul." Hopefully I never learn his middle name or I'll end up royally confused.

 

When I started work here there was a colleague whose name was William Russell. My first and middle names are Russell William. Fortunately, since the names involved me, it was easy enough to remember who was who.

At one time, in our office, we had 9 Mikes (no Micahela's) in an office of 90 where half the people were women. And they stretched in age from Millennials to Boomers. The name Mike never seems to go out of fashion. Of course, the same seems to apply to David.

Good thing that Mini-DA-man-to-be will be named Seamus Aloysius McGillicuddy DA-man, relief man.

Ultra rant:

 

had my Interview today for CR1, all documents checked out fine, interview went great. 
...

...

My medical examination hasn’t reached the consulate yet. Sure I get blood and urine work takes time but still.. bleh.

 

on the sunny side: Consular Officer said directly to me: “We WILL issue the visa when the medical examination arrives.” And they also said that it should be there by next week so they’ll process it immediately once they get it and send it out to me. 
 

Honestly glad I got the interview done, all the documents checked out, but that medical exam.. Ugh.
