Holy moly, my dad is actually hopping on a plane and flying across the globe to see me graduate. I think I've seen him for a grand total of 30 minutes in 10 years.

I learned today that I get annoyed when people try to talk to me when I'm sweeping the floors. Though, really, who the hell tries to carry on a conversation when someone else is using a vacuum cleaner?
I will either get a short nap and be heading back in to set up and ventilate a post-op case tonight (going to surgery now) or I will get a solid 10-11 hours of much needed sleep and have brunch with friends in the morning. Both wins. We shall see! Spending the night at the hospital is turning into a thing this week..,life of a resident haha (normally I'm swing but last weekend I had a propofol cri dog, last night I had a multi pressors and a post-arrest dog)
Putting an offer in on a house - both exciting and nerve wracking! 
Has anyone else seen the movie Howard the Duck??
No one I know knows what the heck I'm talking about.

yup. Been ages though.
I think there was a reference to it in guardians. That's what made me think of it lol
Was there a reference to the actual movie or was it just the fact that Howard the Duck was in guardians? He was in the one too I think, in the after credits scene.
It's been too long since I've seen the Howard the Duck movie for me to remember anything about it though.

Well I wasn't sure if that was actually him since it wasn't exactly right
I'm pretty sure it was him. He's kind of a cult favorite Marvel character and I thought the GOTG people were sneaking him in some scenes for a laugh.
Heading in to my PCP to see if I can get cleared for jaw surgery/ see if he can figure out why my lungs are performing this poorly!
I saw it a LONG time ago. I remember it being terrible.
I completed a workshop discussing animal rescue operations, disaster and emergency triage.
Got to practice some hands-on training with a Bernese Mountain Dog and a Border Collie.
I'm familiar with border collies but I wasn't familiar with a Bernese Mountain Dog. I had to carry the border collie and she just flopped into my arms. The Bernese was too heavy for me to carry alone. Both dogs were friendly and accustomed to being "training" dogs. I wanted to pet them for hours. Same thing for the two cats - although after a while, the cats didn't want to be touched at all - so they were returned to their crates.
Although there are no pigs in my area, I learned how to make a pig move around by placing a bucket over its head. Imagine that! A bucket of all things.
Thankfully, the two horses were pretty calm - so they were easy to harness and lead around - although they both became frisky and playful, as if they were tap-dancing on their hooves. Also learned more about ruminants (i.e., deer) but there were no "live" deer in the workshop. The workshop was presented by veterinarians, emergency services, and humane officers. It was very interesting!

No you stop it
I remember watching howard the duck. and yes, they reference him in several marvel movies
Several FT positions in my department are open/have been open this spring. I've applied for a couple, and just applied for another tonight. I'm torn between wanting to be hired and wanting to keep my current situation - I work with awesome people, and I only work 3.5 days a week (which means 3.5 day weekends, every weekend!). But I'm trying to build up my savings account, and it's hard to do that with PT paychecks . . . Plus, the FT jobs are really cool and would benefit my career/educational goals. So. I'm hoping to get an interview, but I also won't cry too much if they decide that I'm not qualified.
(My supervisor is cheering for me to move to a FT position in the department, which is so awesome, and I love him for it. He asks me how its going and if I saw such-and-such opening yet, and I don't feel sneaky or weird for trying to get a different job. He's just really great. Or he's trying to get rid of me . . . but I like the other interpretation better 😛.)

I think it was in the C/O 2021 thread?
Yes I found U-Pack allowed me to rent space in the back of a freighter. It was much cheaper than PODs but the same principle. Make sure to specify you don't want a POD thingy you want space of the back of a freighter. It's good pricing!
If he doesn't have furniture to move, tell him to look into Amtrak's shipping. Everything has to be in boxes and there are a couple of weird restrictions, but it's super, super cheap. Like, people online are saying they're moving 1-2 bedroom apartments cross-country for $500 cheap. I'm planning on using them to move in August.
Happy birthday @DVMDream!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, @DVMDream!!!!!!!!

Oh man... I didn't realize how large the first and third pictures were compared to the second..... was on my phone so they were muuuuuch smaller...
There was also a secret level on the Lego Marvel video game with Howard the Duck.
I remember reading a few comics and wanna say I saw at least part of the movie, but all I remember is the opening title... so maybe not.

I had a ball cosplaying as him and I'll send pics when I get them back. Season 2 is good, probably my favourite arc (you can basucally skip most of season 3 and Noa until they get back to the Battle City arc). And if you haven't already, check out The Abridged Series on YouTube. LittleKuriboh is a genius.
Goes to sporting goods store for one thing (leather lifting straps)...walks out with two new pairs a shorts, sports bra and other accessories and no wraps (only had one's for men with giant hands). I have a problem...
one never has too many bras
Preach. Although I am decidedly less enthused by sports bras as I am by lacy-push-up-strappy-sexy ones.
Me too, but some of the super awesome rock climbing/yoga Prana ones make me wish I had all the moneys.
I have a cherry pie I will be eating for dinner tonight.
Do you have a Warrant for that Cherry Pie
Indeed. Thinking about baseball too.
Does it bring a tear to your eye, too?

Maybe if I were a guy. I went tart instead of sweet.

Rock n' roll, baby.
Oh. It doesn't help that I'm pretty sure I only know one line of that song.
