Further adventures in dumb things I have done this month

I have to pay $1.50 for parking each day, so I handed the attendant a $1, and then a $5 to cover the other 50 cents.

"So you're from Ithaca...how did you come to Rochester?"

"Up 89 or 96." Really? Does he really want to know that?

"No, what brings you to Rochester."

"Oh."

Surgeons do not like uncertainty in response to their questions. They also do not like it if you say "I don't know." Which leaves me no choice other than a blank stare, with blinking, in response to most questions. They actually don't seem to mind that as much.

One of the residents I am working with is really nice, and he figured out that I had slipped out of the operating room tonight to go say goodnight to Dylan. When I got back he loudly told me that I had to go home since I had been on call overnight last night, even though he knew I had not actually had to come in or had my sleep interrupted in any way. I got home in time to put her to bed, so I sent him this to say thanks.
