Yeah, it's adorable.

Or maybe you need to put on your big kid pants and stop throwing hissy fits.

I remember throwing some tumor slides across the lab (about 50 feet) because I was working on troubleshooting a TUNEL stain and it had been about the 10th time I tried it. I had had it. The results looked fake.

The next day, I found out that I had performed the staining correctly.

You might want to look into some sort of anger management class before you, ya know, work with patients.

Though, to be honest, the most disturbing part of the story isn't that you threw a pencil because you were mad, it's that you think it's adorable. Are you five years old?

i dont think any patient can make you as angry as verbal

I love that "adorable" was followed by this:

LOL LOL LOL.

Don't get mad. Get GLAD.

Then AFTER you take the MCAT, you can throw your books into said GLAD bags, and chuck them into the nearest dumpster.

(Man, I'm cheeeeeeesy)

Where's the "like" button?! will have to do. lol can't wait til it's over!

Liveoak, why'd you chuck the expensive mechanical pencil? Didn't we tell you to use the CHEAP YELLOW #2 PENCIL instead? I mean, if we're going to alleviate this anger of yours, you got to use the right associative item.

CHEAP YELLOW #2 PENCIL = test triggering item.

EXPENSIVE MECHANICAL PENCIL = triggers thoughts of $$$ and being a $$$-paid doctor and marrying a $$$digger.

Uh duh.

 

[ridethecliche]

Stop.

You're trying to hard.

Hammer time.

 

[MDminded]

Hammer time.

Did you retrieve the pencil?!?!? Please say yes...

Next time, don't be an idiot and through expensive stuff. Just through a chair. Now THAT is adorable

Were you trying that new strategy where you don't read the passage at all?

 

[Research3r]

Just missed 7 in a row But kept my cool. Apparently timing for 10 mins versus 7 mins does not make a difference.

Honestly, this brings up some really awesome philosophy of science stuff about observation, prior knowledge, and our expectations when 'experimenting'.

'Understanding' is a philosophical conundrum that I love studying in a philosophy of science context.

I just sprayed coffee on my work keyboard/monitor. Thanks.

Defenestrate a small child.

Profit?

Hey, if the parents hated the kid, there may be a sizable profit. I'm sure Casey Anthony would have bought into it. Then again, that's what adoption services and the foster care system are for, right?
