Dear God. How could you get beer-e out of beary? :laugh:

I think you mispronounce mushy too. I would use a little "uh" instead of an "ooh". Mush-e instea of Moo-she. Perhaps this is a purely regional difference in the pronumciation of the word "mush".

If it says mush, I call it mush. I have no idea how you get moosh out of mush.

As for "beer-ee" well, there are lots of words like this. Most proper names that have "ear" in them are pronounced in much the same way as "ear."

I answer to beer-ee as well. :laugh:

It is extremely hot here too. I am always sweaty by the time I get to work in the morning since I walk. What a way to start the day. Yuck. I miss the research days of t-shirts and shorts!

You said "moo-she" not me. I say "mush-e". beary is bear with a y at the end. Get over it. 😛

Why are we saying "bear-e" when we could just say "berry"?

It's 58 here. At the store some lady was saying how it felt hot out. 🙄

Why are people stupid?
 
58 degrees and people think it's hot??? Where are you? Alaska?
 
You know the weather in your area is ALL F*CKED UP when the news mentions the phrase "heat index" which takes into account the temperature and the humidity. It hit around 95 here today...downed two bottles of gatorade on the golf course.

I hope Boston isn't as hot as it is here. I give this hot, humid weather 3 thumbs down! 👎 👎 👎

"Heat Index" is a regular player on local newscasts in Boston. They will go through stretches of very warm weather and they start talking about humidity and heat index etc etc. I cannot imagine playing golf in 95 degree temps. When it gets above 80 I try to avoid playing golf. The best days are 55-65 and cloudy.

I can't watch TV yet...my TV hasn't arrived yet.

It's actually much cooler here in Boston than it was in DC. I guess it's the proximity to the ocean, who knows. Definitely less humid too. Oh well, my AC seems to be very energy efficient. Looks like I won't be paying $180 utility bills anymore like I was in Ann Arbor (knock on wood).

Playing golf in that 95 degree weather did suck ass. Major ass, in fact. Nonetheless, it was my first game in almost a year so the fun of playing the sport outweighed the suckass weather. BTW, we walked the whole course too...none of the lazy ass golfcart bullsh*t (but in retrospect, we should've been totaly lazy f*cks and rented the golfcart).
 
I find it quite humorous that I can steal a 11 Mbps bandwidth WiFi...but only if my laptop is in the SE corner of my dining room.

It's sad actually.

I forgot to add this to my previous post. I actually mapped out where I got signal and where I didn't.

I really need for my new TV to get here...bored off my ass.
 
It will go through stretches where it gets very hot and unbearable in boston, have no fear. That whole stuff about the proximity to the ocean moderating the temps doesn't really seem to apply 75% of the time.

Can't you explore the city or something? You should be a true gunner and go knock on Fletcher's door and say, "Yo man, I'm early, but you got any projects? Anything with CD-117 I can help you with?"

I'm stuck here cuz I'm waiting for one item to be delivered here today. Then I'm gonna go out and do more shopping.

Be a gunner? Nah man, I need a rest. I'm all gunned out.
 
Please, no complaints about not having your stuff, Andy - listen to this.

So, we're scheduled to close on selling our house Tuesday - we're selling to a surgery resident from Pittsburgh who is moving here after his intern year. So, today, our agent calls us to tell us they're backing out - yes, 5 days before closing, after we spent 300+ bucks for remediation work they requested, etc. He was offered a residency spot in Pittsburgh, so he's staying. And we leave for Boston in 1 week. Our house is a total pit, since we are packing, and it looks like we are going to have to sell an empty house from 700 miles away. Oh, and now we'll be living in Boston with 2 kids, just my salary, 2 monthly payments, and a lot less money in reserve than we had hoped for. :scared: 😱

If anyone knows a surgery resident in Pittsburgh named Dr. Zunkiewicz, please kick him in the balls for me. Hard.
 
That truly sucks. I closed on this place a month early cuz the dude wanted to go to Europe. What sucks about it is that you have to fly back to Ohio to close, right?

Few things though:
(1) Don't you get to keep a major chunk of Dr. Junkowitz's earnest money deposit. Of course, that all depends on what his down-payment was gonna be...but if he was gonna put let's say 10% down, he might have put an earnest money deposit of let's say 1/5th the down payment. Basically, his wallet should be takin' it up the ass right about now since he backed down this late in the process....you should cash in on this. That's why things are done this way so that if the buyer screws you over like this, at least you get something outta it.
(2) Kicking people in the balls is just plain wrong. But I guess this one case can serve as an exception.
(3) I forgot what my third point was gonna be.

One of my friends and classmate didn't match in surgery this year. I think Pitt was one of his top choices too. Junko probably got that spot because some other person dropped out. I wish my friend could've taken that spot instead of Junko...then the closing meeting would take place as scheduled and everybody would be happy.

Yeah, the general custom here is to put 500-1000 down in earnest money, since the homes are not quite as pricey as Boston. I didn't fight it because I didn't think they'd pull this crap on us. And yes, we will have to fly to Ohio to close. I am so pissed right now. Like I said in an earlier post - buying homes is fun, but selling them sucks donkey balls.
 
Wow - I guess technically there isn't a lot you can do if it happens before the closing, but sheesh. I am not sure what I would do if I was in his situation - but I am the kind of person who would probably still close on it and then try to sell it myself. Then again, I am too nice at times.

It was nice of him to have his agent call you instead of telling you personally. Typical surgeon.

The true test of this guy will be how he handles the earnest deposit, which they actually have to release to us in order for us to get it. We asked for the deposit (500) plus the money we spent on repairs per their requests (365). If he doesn't give us this, then he really and truly is a prick, since this is entirely his doing. If he lost a job, couldn't get financing or something, then fine - I'm generally pretty nice. But this is the result of a choice he made.

On the plus side, we have a showing tomorrow - must clean the house now.

God damned butt-****ing, ***-sucking **** monkey! He can suck my **** until he pukes!

Ahem... sorry. Stupid surgeon. By the way, I was wondering how he could back out of his residency so late at this point. He did an intern year and was going to surgery residency in July in Ohio, but he decided yesterday to accept a position in Pittsburgh. I guess he is a scrambler.

Dude, I hope you can at least grab his money and run. You're right about the inflated Boston housing market though...man, if I backed out of my deal, I would've lost $20K! That would be ouch! Guess I'm doing a path residency after all :laugh:

So this cockbag who screwed ya...he must have not matched either last year. That's why he had to do a prelim surgery intern year and wait to see what opened up this year. Believe it or not, this happens more often than you think. Michigan had two surgery dropouts last year since they decided that the surgery lifestyle sucked donkey balls and gathered that they would rather do radiology instead. Yeah, when these PGY-2 spots open up like that, it really does become a scramble since word travels quick.

Again, I'm sorry this crap had to happen to you. I hope the showing goes really well tomorrow and that you have a new buyer soon. I bet you're gonna ask the prospective buyer tomorrow, first thing, if he's a surgeon.
 
Just met one of my neighbors in my building...two of the 3 condos in our building are now occupied by people in the field of pathology 👍
 
I always thought if you signed that letter after the match (or signed up for a PGY-2 position) accepting your position, you were pretty much bound to that program for at least one year, unless you decided to not do any residency at all. I didn't think you could start working at a new program - there was some kind of regulation prohibiting it. Obviously I'm wrong. It probably depends on the program director of the program you originally matched at and how understanding they are.

Gawd it's freaking HOT here. I played tennis this morning and yikes. Even at 8am!
 
MJ's verdict expected at 4:30 EST today.

Guilty or Not Guilty? 😱 I'm gonna hold my breath now. I've been waiting many days for this!
 
What a shock. 🙄

Celebrity justice =/= regular people justice.

Why is it that people always identify so much with celebrities and consider them to be suffering?

If he wasn't a celebrity, his ass would've been thrown in the slammer a long time ago where he would:

(a) Kick someone's ass or become somebody's bitch (reference?)
(b) Toss someone's salad with jelly or syrup (reference?)
(c) Have been violated on multiple occasions for dropping soap
(d) All of the above.

I was supposed to do an autopsy today but the family decided they didn't want it done here because they are worried we will cover something up to protect the surgeons. Whatever...people are so conspiracy oriented. What is it about our society that makes people think anything bad that happens is either someone's fault or a conspiracy? Oh wait, I know the answer: Lawyers. 😡

That's allright though, I didn't want to autopsy his 350 lb ass anyway.

This thread is only supposed to be peripherally related to path yaah ... 🙄 😉

Hmm ... so they don't want an autopsy b/c you are going to cover something up. Then who performs the autopsy?
 
Well it turned out to be only peripherally related. 😉

I guess they will contract with someone to do it privately. There are options - if they do it here it is no charge to them, but on the outside it can be $1500-5000. The medical examiner will often do them, or private hospitals. In some cases, pathologists will go to funeral homes and do them there.

That way, whoever does the autopsy is (possibly) not related to this hospital and thus will have nothing to hide. However, we would do a more thorough job and be more likely to give them answers. But people don't see things that way. Everything's a conspiracy!

I was having a similar conversation the other day.

Watching trash is a skill. One which I don't have. I think it is the inertia - physical, mental and social.

I have never walked out of a cinema. And yet I cannot stand 5 minutes of Dr. Phil...

I just can't care. Even when reading newspapers my mind automatically filters out the ads.
