My thoughts for today

There is a conspiracy to keep me and Glen from getting out of medical school -- every time we try to register for the next step of our licensing exam, our internet goes out for the night. Goodbye, Verizon.

It should not cost $1550 to take *one step* of your licensing exam. Or at least there should be some discount for couples, like buy one test date, get the other half-off.

In the shower just now I had a wonderful realization that with some careful electives selection and thoughtful career choice, I may never have to get up at 4am on a regular basis again!

If it were me scrubbed in at the operating table and my pants fell to my ankles, I would use it as one of the rare valid excuses to scrub out. I would not have the circulating nurse take my pants and then return to the table wearing a paper scrub gown and black knee-high dress socks. But I guess that's just me. Maybe that's why I'm not chairman of the department -- I obviously don't have the required dedication.
