I graduated from school.
« on: May 20, 2009, 03:22:48 pm »
Technically, now I am a doctor.  But that fact doesn't really give me no satisfaction at all.  Probably because I feel that it was a store-bought challenge and not something I felt honestly compelled to do.

Maybe I will feel more satisfaction after I get that money.  Anyway today I'm gonna have a day of excess.  Dad bought me a bottle of Lagavulin 16 year, and I'm gonna have some pork at The Smoke House.  Zagat rated #1 in like 2009 and 2008, whatttt.

Were you dishonestly compelled?

Congrats!

What sort of doctor? Should I be bugging you to join the professional association for radiologists at which I work?

Does this mean we'll see you here more, or less?

Congratulations on the completion of a very long term project!

I think it's "Dammit Spock" but otherwise yes.

I'm a PharmD.  I didn't put very much effort into this semester of school so... it shouldn't effect my posting habits.  But since I've posted now three times today, that probably will.  You know, it's like object in motion stays in motion.  Also Onstand was making me bored so I resubbed to the fanflow, so now I'll probably think of the board more often as well.

Hmm, it's getting late, I'd better start tasting my whiskeys, na mean?

Congrats. This serves as a gentle reminder to me that my life so far has amounted to little, and I need figure out what I'm going to do with it. On the bright side of things, Mirror Pond Pale Ale is now available in Utah.

I got my first exam in like 2 weeks, I need to keep some optimism all up in this space.

If I was a doctor, I would be one of those doctors who corrects people who called me "Mr."

And I would constantly be using my job to impress women. I would become a doctor just for that reason.

If you do that, you're just opening yourself up to being one-upped by surgeons who correct people who call them "Dr".

Although I guess that's probably a UK thing, so perhaps not.
