Dear Powers that Be at CVM:

Remember that discussion we had about kidney stones and your new policies? Well, you got lucky on that one. I didn't.

Bloody bastards :-P

Dear anonymous Resident #1,
I'm sorry, but your formal shorts are not acceptable. Please see here for more details.

Dear anonymous Resident #2,
Yes, you have cute puppies. Stop showing them to me, or I'll end up wanting to take one home :-P

Dear anonymous Resident #3,

Reason #1093759023 why my Daddy is awesome: he called me randomly this morning so we could vent and compare notes on being the two front-runners on a certain person's Shit List. :) Also, from yesterday when we were out shopping and hiding in a corner from all of the smelly department store perfume: "I think you and I are on the same planet.

Hello from Seattle! I've temporarily relocated out here for the next 3 weeks to work at one of their Banfield hospitals for an externship. I'm looking forward to seeing how things operate in the real world, where I don't have an unlimited budget and state-of-the-art options. I also have the ulterior motives of job-hunting while I'm out here, so ( Read more... )
