Haha, completely understand. Things seem funnier and wittier at night, and the next day I see things I've written and go WTF?
Ditto. Case in point...right now.
Night float exists because interns are no longer allowed to take call. Our max work hours are limited to 16 per day. So some people work days and others nights. I just finished a few weeks of days, now having a few weeks of nights. Basically my responsibilities are to answer pages from the floor nurses, see patients in the ED, write up histories and physicals, and eat chocolate covered coffee beans that one of my very thoughtful med students brought in for us tonight.
Decaf chocolate covered coffee beans I would hope...
Exciting things....I'll have to share war stories another time. Speaking of which, I don't watch many movies. But next time I'm transitioning days to nights, I'll check out the Pirates of the Caribbean.
Ok, but to be sure, lest you think my taste in films is at the HS level at best, Pirates of the Caribbean is a guilty film pleasure. The first one, which I hope you'll start with, was actually REALLY done well though. It was my fave of the batch. The second one, from where I ripped that quote that you didn't recognize, was also done "pretty well". If you, however, are in the mood for a REALLY WELL DONE dramatic movie, and you'd like to place on said Night Float call-room-DVD-player list I, and haven't seen it already:
1) "Social Network." That was a fantastic film.
2) "Biutiful" with Javier Bardem, subtitled, but also really intense. tear jerker.
3) Bridesmaids. Yes, silly comedies aren't only limited to male packs anymore. It's the female version of Hangover. I laughed out loud.
4) Midnight in Paris (woody allen, so well done).
5) Vicky Cristina Barcelona. An "oldie" but I thought it was impeccably well done. And I'm a Javier Bardem fan.
Social Network, as I say, is actually worth making the time for... though I know in your new resident life, it's a sliding scale.
Please do let me know when you hear. I'm rooting for ya.
Will do. I'm a bit of a late applier, so I don't expect to "make waves" on the Application Thread
until October/November. Yeah, I know. Good thing schools interview into 2012. Yeah, I know...
