Okay, so here's my thing: can I borrow any/all of those books from you? (I'm so incredibly poor right now, it's not even funny). I'm actually going to go buy Pocket Medicine, probably, since those are fantastic for everything and I'll probably keep it in my pocket through residency, since I'm not doing a "medicine" specialty (thank God). Incidentally, I'm at the VA for March and outpatient in April.

And I'm not at school, I'm home preparing divorce documents for my lawyer. What a way to spend a day off. 👍 👍

Oh, sorry. I thought you were around for your OSCE.
I'm just here killing time until other people finish their exams so we can go out drinking 😀 .

About the books, I have to get tham back from the guy who has them now, but then you can have them.

Who are your attendings? I had Dr. Fletcher and Dr. Jevtic, and could give you some inside advice on those two. I really like the VA, especially for medicine. I think you get the most automomy there, which is (in my opinion) a great way to learn. There were a lot of times when my plan was what actually happened. Thank you, pocket medicine.

 

[Xandie]

My attendings bear shocking similarity to yours... feel free to alert me when the books are back and I will descend upon you with remarkable speed... but not if you still live in Kenosha. Then, you can come to me. 🙂

 

[donnyfire]

Come here. Now. I'll put pants on.

Will your pants be on?

And yes, I'm in Ke-nowhere, but I'll figure out a way to get them to you. Maybe during your wednesday afternoon lectures af Frodtert.

 

[Xandie]

I have a hot lunch date with Patrick, so I am indeed wearing pants.

You know my schedule probably better than I at this point. Speaking of, what time should I expect to be hauling my little self out of bed this month? AND I'm on the day after daylight savings, so I get a whole hour of pre-call sleep stolen from me. Jerks. I was on call during the other daylight savings too... it's not fair! Anyway... what are you on next month? I bet we could do a little bit of a drop. Very spy novel of us. 🙂

So I just sent a job titled "donkeypunch" to the library printer. Before I could get to the printer, it ran out of paper while the person in front of me was using it. Of course, when the librarian came over to refill the paper, she had to grab an unclaimed print card that was laying next to the machine and pop it in to check how much money was on it. She looked around suspiciously after the card was inserted and it brought up the list of print jobs.

I know her and I know that she knows EXACTLY what a donkey punch is.

Does anyone happen to have a valid product key for MS office 2003? My new computer came with it already loaded minus the product key. If not, I'll just load Office 2000 back on 'er.

 

[45408]

Well if we're talking about that, Ashers and AKPete have boxes too. 😛

Oh, yes, they do.


(as far as I can tell anyways. I don't think I've ever asked either of them if they are actually female)

try googling one

Did you buy it with Office, or is this just a trial and you're supposed to BUY a key?

 

[indo]

Well, on my old computer I had a legal version of Office 2000 but I bought a dell recently and it arrived with Office 2003 installed on it. However, in order to use office 2003 I have to enter the product code which I'm sure they want me to pay the 500 dollar or whatever for. Since all I do is type up lecture notes and look at the occasional powerpoint and excel sheet I'm not going to use the super duper functions that office 2003 or the newest Ofiice version claim to have. So, if i have to pay for it I'm just going to find my old office 2000 disk with the code on it and re-install office 2000 on this computer and uninstall the office 2003 that the computer came with. But, if someone happens to be upgrading to office 2007 or Vista or whateve the newest version is from office 2003 and has the product code I could just use theirs and not set off the Microsoft Stolen Software Terrorist Tracking system (MSSTTs or Mistys, if you will).

I could download one of those code generators that I used to steal windows 98 way back when but I'm sure microsoft has figured out a way to hunt people down and make their computer pop up that "software pirate!" note everytime it is turned on.

I gotta change my avatar. It overstimulating my geniculostriate system.

Plus it's annoying me.

I need exponents to describe where that lies on my list of concerns.

um, what is your avatar doing?

Oh, c'mon, we all know annoying people gives you a thrill.

😀 😀

Well, I don't know about a thrill but I helps me inside because it reminds me that I am not invisible to everyone.

 

[indo]

um, what is your avatar doing?

It, umm, well... Whatever it is, it is dancing to techno Oontz oontz oontz. Say it out loud, "oontz".

It appears to be a shar-pei head on a dust mite or flea body.

Couldn't you just give people cookies or something?

 

[indo]

Couldn't you just give people cookies or something?

I've never made a batch of cookies that wasn't burnt. I blame cheap-ass apartment ovens. My mom's super duper oven makes great cookies because it has a convection fan built in. Niiiiice.



Anyway, last time I gave someone a cookie I ended up dating them for way too long.

Oven thermometer.
Check the cookies more often.

You can defeat this terrible cookie-burning demon!

Well, the bottom gets burned but the rest is only approaching perfect. So, I also place blame on the pan or sheet or whatever. When I'm able to afford stuff I'm going to buy good cookware. The kitchen is the sexiest room of the house.

Oh, yeah. Insulated cookie sheets do help. They're not that pricey.

You don't happen to know of good Ahi tuna recipe do you?

 

[45408]

I'd say the bathroom. I want a huge walk-in shower/steamroom some day.

Yeah, plus you can get blumpkins in there.

Yes! And, if I'm going to be in Wisconsin, heated floors. Two showerheads or more would nice too.

So it sounds like Gimlet is going to need an In-sink-erator coming off the shower drain.

Oh. That literally would have been a steaming (or steamed) pile of poo.

 

[Agent Splat]

eeh...once again i gave in to the power of sleep and skipped pharmacology. I shouldn't be doing that. but i was up almost past 3am again. balls.

of course, waking up and seeing what looked like(at least, in a really half awake, groggy state) another snowstorm didn't help either. I figure if I was going to have to get up, AND shovel out the car, it wasnt' worth it.

i feel so unmotivated. Gimlet...please motivate me in the way that only you know how.

 

[Agent Splat]

I'm trying to figure out who in our class this would be...see the guy on the far left.

I stayed home today because there was a 72 minute delay on the bypass (normally takes about 15 minutes). I still have to go in this afternoon for CER, though.

Here, have a little taste of my soul. That should re-energize you for studying.

 

[45408]

mmmmm. The multiple showerheads have been on my wishlist for a while, as well as digital temperature control (push a button, have it automatically go to my temperature), but I forgot about the heated floors, which would be a must if you have tile. A regular heater would be good. And heated towels. And fog-resistant mirrors.

And I will most definitely be getting a toilet with more power than the little hunk o' junk at my house.

 

[45408]

Please tell me that those guys didn't buy all that stuff just to play Airsoft. I hope the yellow-tipped rifles mean something else....


I'd be the guy playing video games though. I'll stomp all y'all in Call of Duty 2.

 

[Xandie]

DON NEFF! You're posting in the other threads but not this one. Go find my questions (I think they were a page or two back) and answer them RIGHT THIS MINUTE!

(I bought Sabatine's (or whatever the name is) little pocket medicine book today... holy bananas. $44 for some hole-punched pages? That better get me some straight 9's on my evals or we're going to have to fight).

why stop at two? THIS is what I'm talking about:

You get a remote, but is the naked showerer included in the package as well? 😀

Yeah, what I need is my shower to give me the blue screen of death every morning.

That last one looks like it could slam you up against the other wall. Sweet

 

[Gimlet]

Word. It's kinda pointless to have a low-flow toilet if it just takes you two flushes to get everything down the drain every time you drop a deuce.

hmmmm, I had to read the last line 3 times to see if you were saying something about slamming her up against the wall.

I wish! More like 5 flushes. This thing has the capacity of an eye-dropper. Plunging it is pretty much just a given, no matter how many courtesy flushes I give it. At my last house, we had a pneumatic something-er-other in the bowl, and it could have propelled a cat down through that hole.

 

[Agent Splat]

Sabatine's book is money, and you'll look like a star. I'm not sure what questions you're referring to. You can have my books.

About the coconut oil or the distance? I see April walking her dog semi-regularly.

Can't help you here, although coconut oil smells delicious.

I need one of those alarm clocks...

Also, who wants to come figure out what's wrong with my cable? Allegedly, a caple signal amplifier would fix it, but that doesn't really make sense. It's annoying to try and watch a show when the sound syncopates in and out. 🙁

I can't fix your cable either.

What box? (I'm confused).

Hey Don... tell me not to worry about the pre-medicine rotation shelf.

Boxes are nice, and the medicine pre-test doesn't matter.

 

[donnyfire]

Oh, by the way, all you guys studying for boards...

I saw a girl with Prader-Willi on Tuesday, and a kid with Wilm's tumor today. So I guess there is a point to learning the rare stuff after all.

Yaayyyy! Hopefully we haven't learned Prader-Willi yet, because I have no idea what that is except that the kids compulsively eat to obesity, correct? The pediatric pathologist who lectured on renal tumors earlier this week said she sees about 6 Wilm's tumors per year.

There you go, Donald. Answer away.
