I nominate your place for the First Annual SDN Psych Autumn Get Together!
I’ll give you a preview of my behavior.
Can anyone else say Peaky ****ing Blinders?!?!

So you’d remain in the background quietly polishing the glassware? You’re invited to my place anytime!
I’ll be there tomorrow after class. How far a drive from Massachusetts ( just so I know if I should pack a bag or not)Anytime, we can go to the brewery we bought into.

That’s why I charge all patients for no-shows or late cancellations. Surprising how less frequently this occurs when people know they have to pay regardless.I'm not business minded-enough for PP. I also like being paid regardless of patients showing or not.
Another 12-patient Friday here. At home now on the couch enjoying some Woodford Reserve Double Oaked watching Couples Therapy on Showtime.

Got a forensic case late this week, due Monday. Attorney is willing to pay my rush fee.
Guess I’ll be trapped in the office all weekend.

Hustle for them benjamins
That is what it is all about!Hustle for them benjamins
Was out sick all week with intense food poisoning ...trying to catch up on emails...also have promotion materials due next week so it'll be a rare Saturday-in-the-office for me. :-(
Just woke up from a nap. So, its going pretty well today so far.
Staying late to get some more report writing done. Meh.
Just got back from the annual backpacking trip to VT with my wife. Exciting changes at the cabin- they built a new outhouse! This is literally the view from the “seat” through the opened top half of the outhouse door. The beautiful golden hues, the aromas of maple and oak, and that’s just from the Woodford’s Reserve in that bottle there! The trees were pretty too!
Going to see “The Office: A Musical Parody” tonight.
So... its Friday.
I am avoiding work right now, please help me maintain my avoidance 🙂

Obviously I'm going to ask what you're seeing at the theater

Vieux Carre (you'll likely need to buy an ingredient or two to make)
Depending on the weather, a Bourbon Slush can be fun.
I took the day off. I pre-ordered a Pixel 4, ran some errands, and will be meeting up with friends later for drinks, music, etc. I will probably continue to relax for the afternoon, play some piano, hit some golf balls, and maybe nap.

Who are you, Elvis in his final days?
Naps seems to have eluded Elvis. Not a good career move for the king.
I had all but one patient cancel (what IS it with Fridays, man?) so I'm just waiting the clock out. Then I'm hitting happy hour with colleagues.

Symphony. Hopefully my snores will time up with the percussion section.

Ah, the time waste that is being a kind steward of the tax payor's dollar.
Damn, got the sniffles. Walking around with a faucet that won’t stop leaking out my nose. Looks like it’s all Netflix and bed for me.
Working the next few weekends, so will try to enjoy this one with a whole lotta nothing.

Homecoming at my alma mater (same school for graduate and undergraduate, and only a few miles down the road). Open house today the psych labs and training clinic. Going to go with my son (and count it as a college visit) and tour the department, and then head over to watch the #3 ranked hockey team face off against what I hope is a woefully under-matched opponent. We'll be skipping watching the #129 ranked (out of 130 FBS teams) football team face off agains what will most certainly be a grossly over-matched opponent.
First appointment of the day was a no show. Just two PE cases and I'm done for the week!
Traveling for some consulting work. Working from the hotel room for a while. Phone conference this AM. Two business meetings this afternoon. One fun Saturday business meeting. Seeing some friends here Saturday night. Fly home Sunday, then got a date that night.
Yesterday and today we're on "mid-semester break" - this is the only college I've been where this is a thing. Not complaining. After a few intense weeks I'm enjoying not doing much today. Home with the kiddos, play-doh, naps, park, ...pumpkin carving tomorrow.
Is it too early to begin counting down to winter break?

...but tonight, wine and movie night. Happy weekending!

Axe throwing if you have it by you. Good way to get out frustration. Just don’t aim it towards your wifePaperwork and a light day, trying to clear stuff off my plate as internship application review time is around the corner. Mexican food and margaritas tomorrow for date night with the wife. Trying to think of another activity to add to date night. Any thoughts?

Homemade, vegetarian chili tonight (I have a killer recipe) after 13 patients today. Accompanied by a well-deserved Maker’s double on the rocks.

Happy to. Sent you a PM.Care to share? : )
I don’t really have a weekend. I have one full day off during the week and some half days off throughout. Tonight, I’ll likely play around with the Vive Cosmos, watch a movie in the home theater, and/or listen to some music.
Working tomorrow, then enjoying a "long" weekend (which will now be a standard-length weekend) with the holiday.
Got slammed with legal work. Working all day. Long run this afternoon, theater in the evening.
sunday: more work.

At the 15th Annual Neuroscience Education Institute (NEI) Psychopharmacology Congress in Colorado Springs. Always a great 4 days out of the office and the Broadmoor Resort is phenomenal. Highly recommend!
Grading papers this afternoon and finishing up letters of recommendation for eager undergrads applying to phd programs...and definitely counting down the semester -- 3 weeks to go and only 7 more class meetings!
Also have a rare Friday night to myself (abuelita in town to watch the kids, wife working this evening), thinking of seeing Joker. thoughts? Tomorrow wife and I will spend the day together in San Francisco, sans kiddos. So nice to have grandma nearby.

Have fun! Been meaning to see Joker and I think Ford vs Ferrari is coming out. The wife suggested I might want to go see that this weekend (and I nearly fell over....best wife ever). Was teaching the interns this morning, a couple of conferences and now wrapping up paper work before heading home. Is it quiet over here because NAN is going on?
Friends coming over for board games and bourbon tonight. Yard work and college hockey game tomorrow. More yard work and my own hockey game Sunday. You all have a nice weekend.

On the agenda for the weekend: two holiday parties, decorating, a little shopping, and fending off a sinus infection.
Have a great weekend, folks!
