Whoa. We think alike!

I had to watch Office Space again last night. And there's that whole exchange between Peter and Lawrence

Peter Gibbons: What would you do if you had a million dollars?
Lawrence: I'll tell you what I'd do, man, two chicks at the same time, man.
Peter Gibbons: That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence: Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I had a million dollars I could hook that up, cause chicks dig a dude with money.
Peter Gibbons: Well, not all chicks.
Lawrence: Well the kind of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do.
Peter Gibbons: Good point.
Lawrence: Well what about you now? what would you do?
Peter Gibbons: Besides two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence: Well yeah.
Peter Gibbons: Nothing.
Lawrence: Nothing, huh?
Peter Gibbons: I'd relax, I would sit on my ass all day, I would do nothing.
Lawrence: Well you don't need a million dollars to do nothing, man. Just take a look at my cousin, he's broke, don't do ****.

gawd it's been a long time since i saw these.

"I wanna be just like Alabammaman!"

 

[b&ierstiefel]

Holy crap! I just bought a pretty sweet laptop from Dell cuz it was a one day sale and I saved $500. PM me if you're interested in looking at this deal. I'm not gonna post it cuz I think it is a TOS violation to advertise stuff on these forums.

You can post in FS&A if you are really interested, Andy. 😛

Rant:

On rare half-day, am in kitchen making lunch.

Housemate (nursing student) [getting up from watching Sex & The City]: "I can't believe I have to go to the hospital again! Honestly, you guys have it so easy sometimes!"
Me: "Well, you should go do med school then."
Housemate: "Yeah, I'm seriously considering it. Lots of nurses go into the field."



And for those who are thinking of coming down on me - this is not a criticism of nurses, or nursing students. This is a rant about my housemate 🙄

 

[b&ierstiefel]

Funny thing happened today.

I been doing this experiment (last time I did it was 3 years ago). Experiment not working. Andy feeling more and more like *****. Andy asks Brit, "WTF is going on? Can you double check something?" Brit proceeds to tell Andy that Andy is doing it all wrong and proceeds to teach Andy the right way. Brit then tells Andy that Andy is a *****. Andy asks why. Brit responds, you taught me how to do this when I first joined the lab.

Everybody laugh at Andy now. har dee har har

 

[bananaface]

hehehe silly Andy!

 

[b&ierstiefel]

always 🙂

On the subject of the million dollars - I agree it is not that much. If I got a million dollars now I don't think it would really change my life much. First off, the damn government would take half. It would just go into mutual funds, perhaps save a bit out and travel a little.

I get monday off. 🙂

So do I. It is Family Day.

But I will be post-call that day.

I have this habit of screwing up my long weekends 🙁

 

[yaah]

Family Day? Is that a Canadian holiday? Here it is "President's Day" which is a fairly new creation, I believe, because we used to have Washington's Birthday and Lincoln's birthday (both observed) but when they added a holiday for Martin Luther King's birthday (also observed) they seem to have combined the two presidents on the same day and decided to be more inclusive so that we can also celebrate Calvin Coolidge, Millard Fillmore, and my favorite, Andrew Jackson.

That's the dude on the twenty???

 

[yaah]

Yes, but he is not my favorite because he is on the 20. He is my favorite because he was kind of insane and didn't take crap from others. He was probably a prick, but some of that I think can, by rumor, be attributed to lead poisoning.

 

[deschutes]

Family Day is a provincial (read: Albertan) holiday. Having not been around here for very long, its origins are a mystery to me. I suppose it is a day when one participates in family-oriented activities such as going to the zoo in windchills of minus 20C/minus 10F.

The Daycare facilities are no doubt open that day and babysitters are in high demand. At least, that would be true if it was america.

To think I actually woke early to study today 😳

Welcome back, yaah.

Yeah, no studying this morning! I'll do it later...😳

 

[bananaface]

Wow. We should have something like Family Day here, instead of like 5 national holidays geared towards the same freaking thing.

Yeah I know, but then people would have to work because on "Family Day" everyone would want to leave their house and do something instead of spending time at home reconnecting with their families, and that would mean that people would have to work, and it would all get shot to hell. I am just trying to figure out what Walmart would do! My bet: Stay open and put up a sign that says, "We are open on Family Day for YOUR Family!!!"

 

[bananaface]

Let's not bring Wal-Mart into this... 🙄

You forgot to ask Andy to close Wal-Mart as a part of his campaign.

I don't think even he could manage that. I don't need them to close walmarts. I just need to walmart owners and publicity people to stop talking about patriotism and how wonderful they are. Just be what you are, a discount store, and stop saying how family friendly and great you are when you treat your employees like cattle.

You're right. Walmart pwns me. But if that is your wildest dream, I will try my best to make it come true.

That's fair. About as doable as Jennifer Love Hewitt at the door.

 

[yaah]

Hey - she might show up!

 

[Harbster]

Hey Yaah........someone is here to see you!

 

[b&ierstiefel]

Hey Yaah........someone is here to see you!

I'm drinking a Boddington's and listening to Def Leppard (listened to Rachmaninoff before getting groceries though). The good ol' times.

 

[yaah]

C'mon, take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up

Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
C'mon fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
Oh, I can't get enough

[yaah]

I want to see someone sing Schoenberg as karaoke.

 

[b&ierstiefel]

Ahh...Chris Rock standup is absolutely hilarious.

 

[yaah]

Better than Sinbad?

Sinbad doesn't curse.

Growing old has its perks.

 

[b&ierstiefel]

I'm old.

 

[stormjen]

We'll never be this young again!

 

[yaah]

I don't have arthritis just yet!

 

[stormjen]

I don't have arthritis just yet!

I have post-traumatic arthritis in two joints!

 

[b&ierstiefel]

I still have a full head of hair. Sports induced arthritis in the right knee x 1 year.

 

[yaah]

I am going to have arthritis in my back and knees because I'm tall. 🙁

 

[b&ierstiefel]

So I turn up for trauma call at 8am. Pager #'s exchanged.

The inevitable "So what field are you going into?"
"Pathology."
"So you don't like patients huh? Hehehe j/k!"

Lo and behold, I decided I wasn't going to help him round on the unit.

So instead, deschutes runs to a computer and starts posting on SDN.

Awesome! 👍 Exactly what I would've done in that very situation.
