Thanks yaah! If this meeting is happening in Ann Arbor, unfortunately I can't pry myself away from the clinical crap.

I am sitting here in my hotel and already want to go home.

I am in a town right on the Mississippi and may go down and check out the river. There is a casino too. Also there is a cave and a museum, but they both close at 5. 😡

Slap Your Co-Worker Day is Coming!!

Tomorrow is the official Slap Your Irritating Co-workers Holiday: Do you
have a co-worker who talks nonstop about nothing, working your last
nerve with tedious and boring details that you don't give a damn about?
Do you have a co-worker who ALWAYS screws up stuff creating MORE work
for you? Do you have a co-worker who kisses so much booty, you can look
in their mouth and see what your boss had for lunch? Do you have a
co-worker who is SOOO obnoxious, when he/she enters a room, everyone
else clears it? Well, on behalf of Ike Turner, I am so very very glad to
officially announce tomorrow as SLAP YOUR IRRITATING CO-WORKER DAY!

There are the rules you must follow:

* You can only slap one person per hour - no more.
* You can slap the same person again if they irritate you again in the
same day.
* You are allowed to hold someone down as other co-workers take their
turns slapping the irritant.
* No weapons are allowed...other than going upside somebody's head with
a stapler or a hole-puncher.
* CURSING IS MANDATORY! After you have slapped the recipient, your
"assault" must be followed with something like "cause I'm sick of your
stupid-a$$ always messing up stuff!"
* If questioned by a supervisor [or police, if the supervisor is the
irritant, you are allowed to LIE, LIE, LIE! Now, study the rules, break
out your list of folks that you want to slap the living day lights out
of and get to slapping.....and have a great day.

I interpreted this to mean alcoholics anonymous. :laugh: I was thinking, well, I am alone in the hotel and all, but I'm not an alcoholic just yet. :laugh:

I think I am still a long way from Ann Arbor, unfortunately. Still in Iowa.

So its May 25th?
 
Are males allowed to smack annoying female coworkers or does this fall outside the purview of the accepted guidelines? I'm talking about annoying female coworkers, not attractive female coworkers who you would slap as an excuse to touch their ass, which I do not condone nor have interest in.

you have to seek guidance in Wingy's 'hitting women' thread in the lounge for this one.
 
look, according to the rules, you can smack any annoying person. gender boundaries can be crossed here.

i smacked about 4 people today. more to come.

on a brighter note, happy hour started at 2 pm.

Well, she was in chronic renal failure and had pneumonia, and was made comfort care only. In her last few days she was colonized by Aspergillus and while it may have directly caused her immediate death, she died because of her renal failure and severe systemic atherosclerosis. She was also immunosuppressed due to diabetes, and the fungus just took over.



Yes - Committee meeting this weekend. Beary is welcome too if she can pry herself away from her clinical crap!
Click to expand...
Thanks, yaah. 🙂

I wanna come to the committe meeting, even if only to gain the chance of perhaps getting to sit in on an autopsy with yaah. 😛

Perhaps I should specify that it's not my expectation that any of the committe members die over said weekend....

I wish I would have known this before I left work for the day.
 
all the crime labs want the degree PLUS one year experience....😡

how am I supposed to get experience, if all the jobs require experience?

Hey, since you have that twinkie avatar did you ever see my twinkie analogy? http://forums.drslounge.com/showthread.php?p=1648530&highlight=twinkie#post1648530 Twinkies can be used to explain so many things.

Yeah I want happy hour too. 🙁 And also I have very little hard liqour left at home.

Although I am taking thursday off so that makes me happy. My special friend's birthday is on thursday.
 
I think he has declared his son to be an "expert" on parent-child relationships. From the child's perspective, of course. 🙄

It's the Lounge though. Anywhere else it might have been applicable :laugh:

As part of preparation for residency I have to complete these sets of HIPAA and Occupational Health and Safety training courses online.

I can just see it now.

That whole twinkie conversation just cracked me up. :laugh:

However, I also ran across this, in the same thread....😡

😡 👎

ironically, "y'all" here in TX, sounds a lot like "yaah," well, in West Texas anyway, with all the Germans/Czechs, and for those of us without such a pronounced drawl. 😛 :laugh:
 
I just don't like Texas, I'm sorry. There are too many guns, and too many people who think gun rights are more important than people rights, and too many people who won't shut up about Texas and how fantastic it is. That's all. Obviously, I like many people from Texas, I just don't want to live there.

Thus: My first job after residency will probably be at Parkland Memorial in Dallas. Maybe I could access the JFK/Lee Harvey Oswald/Jack Ruby files.

I hate those ****ers. There was one here last month trying to sell me frozen hamburgers.
 
Damn that season finale of Lost was really really interesting. Can't wait until the next season.

Yes it was!! It still seemed like there weren't many answers. But I cannot wait until next season. I think it is an extremely well-done show.

True...but clearly there really are these people called "the others" and the French woman isn't 100% ****oo crazy. And now we know several things about these "others":

(1) There are several of them.
(2) They probably smell really bad.
(3) They own a motorboat.

And finally they opened up the hatch! And it's a great setup for revealing more about that island in the next season.

and 4) They have some obsession with babies and small children.

I loved finally getting a glimpse of the monster/security system.

Did you think that the French lady was the one who had previously tried to steal Claire's baby? (Based on the scratches on her arm). I guess so. But does that mean she was in some kind of alliance with Ethan?

My mom said that one of the people on the boat (I guess the one that threw the bomb) didn't even look like a real person but looked like an apparation or a ghost or something. I didn't see that. Did you?

Yeah, I came to that conclusion about French lady.

About the apparition, the person who inside the boat (might have been a lady) looked like a ghost to me. But they all kinda did.

I'm still a bit befuddled by that "monster." It was just black smoke. I had heard though, on the Lost forums, that there was this polar bear on the island and that in the season finale you would find out why or how that polar bear came to be on that island. Or maybe I was smoking crack. Who knows.

Back to the baby though, I kept thinking that the Ethan guy (who Charlie shot midway through the season) was responsible for kidnapping the baby. I thought Ethan was one of "the others." But clearly Ethan was too clean-shaven. So I guess he was in on stealing the baby with that French lady?

When does the next season start? I have to make sure that I get TiVo by then. :laugh:
 
AndyMilonakis said:
regarding the monster (aka black smoke dude)...it actually makes an appearance in the first episode, as one person in that forum pointed out:

http://fernard.com/maynard/images/lostturbineenhanced.gif

it doesn't look exactly like the smoke you see in the season finale though.

Hmmm... Is the monster supposed to be in this scene? This looks to me just like where the engine was exploding and the monster shows up later.

look carefully at the engine before the explosion. you see a line of black smoke or gas(?) that makes a parabolic trajectory with the minimum point being the surface of the engine. then as it swoops back up away from the engine then the explosion happens. i think that's what the guy who posted that picture in the forums was referring to.

Cool - I totally didn't see that!! I wonder if that is it. Thanks.
