Time management

So I get off early today and I have some unexpected free-time. What do I do?

Do I study like I should and better myself as an aspiring physician?

Do I read the latest journal articles to keep pace with the ever-changing developments in medicine?

Nope.

I make …

McMuffin me please

Nothing like a Burger King breakfast in the morning to start out the weekend. I tell you what, when it comes to fast food, breakfast is where it's at. Most times I'd say I would prefer a hot breakfast out of McDonalds or Burger King more than I would waiting in line …

To the cashier at the register

When giving me change, don't give me the bills first and then then coins. When you do that, the change slides off the FLAT bills and onto the counter or the floor. Give me the coins FIRST so they go into my hand, and THEN the FLAT bills.

Thank you.

My girlfriend is moving in...

...to my TypePad account that is. Becka has been completely enamored with TypePad since I started using it, so what kind of a boyfriend would I be if I didn't offer to let her share it with me? So as of today, Becka will be moving from her current Blogger location to …

mmmm...

Beer Cheese Soup. I LOVE the stuff. Haven't had it for a long time though, so when I heard that my sis wanted to go to the local steakhouse that serves it my mouth hit Pavlov level 5 right away. I ate two bowls of the stuff and ended up finishing what seemed like a …

Disclaimer

While browsing around the net and coming across weblogs written by others in the medical profession, I feel like I have to make a clarification. My blog here is not just about medicine for a reason. It's because I'M not all about medicine. It is my chosen career and …

Where's a cow when you need one

Man this sucks. Just got home from call and there is no milk in the house. I've been craving a glass of milk for the last few hours and all the way on the drive home. While looking at rhythm strips that showed atrial fib, the taste of a glass of milk was on my mind. …

Blogger has been imported

In another example of what I'm doing when I should be sleeping, I managed to import all of my old Blogger entries into TypePad. You can check them out if you'd like, I've had to edit some of them that contained pictures because if not, links would be broken. I've also …

No rest for the weary

I've been up for over 38 hours now. Yeah, that's right, I spent the whole night importing and editing my weblog so that all of my posts were in it. Pathetic. Just pathetic.

It's weird, eventually your body gets to a point where it just wants to shut itself down. …

I'm almost there...

...on the edge of my fingertips.

Some pieces around the edges are coming together, but the solid blues of the sky still all look the same.

Frustrating as hell, but exhilarating enough to keep me trying.

It's just not right

...to wake up in the morning when the hour has a 4 in front of it. Not right at all.

Although daylight savings gives me an hour more sleep it's had the effect of keeping me away from the sunlight all day long. By the time I usually get out of the hospital it's …

I paid for this

lack of sleep

lack of time

lack of respect

lack of confidence

I paid for this

Thanksgiving Greetings

To all of you in the US, I hope today is filled with family and friends...and plenty of great food. I really couldn't tell you what I was looking forward to more, the great spread on the table or the 4 day weekend.

Here was today's lineup:

19 lb Turkey, Stuffing, …

My many blessings

What I am thankful for:

- My amazing family, always behind me with love and support that I know I can count on.

- My beautiful angel Becka, who consumes my every thought of the present and especially the future. Just thinking about her smile makes all my worries …

Decisions, decisions

Damn Apple and their strategically-sized/priced iPod hard drives.

I'm almost sure that tomorrow I'm going to take advantage of the 10% all things music sale that Apple is having their stores. As much as I want an iPod, however, they sure are expensive. The cost …

"The story"

Some have asked how Becka and I got together, and it wasn't until just now that I realized that it wasn't on either of our Typepad blogs. Here's the story, as originally written by Becka in July of this year...

(It's long...so be prepared to read)

Ok - so I know a few …

I give up

It seems like my meeting with the oh so infamous iPod will never be. I just got back from the Apple Store and things are a no-go. Turns out my bank account had a few hundred less than I had anticipated, and my backup plan of using my instant student loan fell through. …

History repeats itself

Funny thing that I should post the story of how Becka and I got together the very day before our relationship ends. I just got off the phone with her to confirm the email that I received in my inbox a few hours back. You gotta love the 21st century...breakup via …
