Dear Weather,

UNCLE.

(Please stop now, with this bitter cold and constant lake effect snow, mmkay? I know you want to be popular and get on all the major networks but I'll give you a crown and a glittery sash if you give it a freakin' rest.)

Love,

Dr. Burrito
In case you've missed it, we've gotten a fistfuckload of snow. Oswego County, about ( Read more... )

I did it. I finally finished my friggin' Xmas shopping today. It took 1.5 hours at the mall but I did it. I was amazed how busy the mall was for 6 PM on a week night. I had intended to go earlier but sleeping until 3 PM prevented me from doing so ( Read more... )

My arteries are currently 93.4% potatoes. I had mashed with dinner last night, homefries with breakfast this morning, and then leftover mashed tonight. With gravy. Oof.

I slept until noon today, talked to jpaventi for a moment or two, hand washed a couple of sweaters, watched cycle 1 of America's Next Top Model on VH1, and am currently listening to the ( Read more... )

1. I had a dream last night that I had to code one of my attendings. I was running the code and the chairman of my department was asking me all the things we should be doing. It was bizarre on many levels. At one point I said, "He must have been a bigger drinker than we all thought he was." Now, I have no idea if this particular attending is an ( Read more... )

I've pretty much decided teaching is not for me. I enjoy clinical teaching, engaging others in a "what would you do in this situation?" discussion. I do not, as I have grown to know this week, enjoy basic science teaching. For all those teachers out there, g-d bless ya. I could never do what you do. I feel as if I am going blue in the face ( Read more... )

One week of my AI left. It feels like a marathon. I'm used to working a 30-hour day every three days. That doesn't bother me, oddly enough. I think it's the chronic sleep deprivation and feeling like I do nothing but work, eat and sleep that bothers me. I've been able to get to the gym a fair amount too. It helps that I don't have to come ( Read more... )

You know, it's funny. Every time I've sat down to update over the past couple of days I start to write and just can't. Me, the one whose therapy is to write. And then I have dreams where I can't shut up.

Thursday:
I watched a laparoscopic Heller myotomy in the morning. That was pretty darn cool. It was an otherwise quiet day. I went to ( Read more... )

Interesting, to say the least. I'm up this early to page a resident (yay - get to start at 6 AM on Monday!) and wanted to get this down somewhere before I forgot it.

...Watching the entire first season of Laguna Beach: The Real OC will not make your head asplode. Listening to the theme song ("Rain" by Hillary Duff, methinks?) just might. I can't believe I watched this schlock. Ok, there was a certain amount of drama in high school (rivaling only the amount of drama in medical school, frankly) but I don't ( Read more... )

Note to self: do not give blood on one of the hottest days of the year and if you do, chug water like it's your job. I'm fine, a bit lightheaded but otherwise ok. I've had lots of fluids and I know I'll be fine tomorrow. Still, wasn't the best idea I've had in a while ( Read more... )
