I didn't know roses had hips!

May 15, 2006 21:00

Today I was trying to decide between the following two jobs (if they were my only options) A dentist or a gynocologist. Since I don't think I spelled gynocologist correctly, that should automatically disqualify me (that and my lack of 'MD' after my name). Seriously though, teeth are pretty gross. Have you seen rotten teeth? Even just stained ( Read more... )

Newer than 1991? I know someone who's trying to get rid of a 1996 Toyota Camry. And just for you -- because we like you, because we consider you a friend -- we'll be willing to make you a deal.

from another proud owner/driver of a 1991 (honda civic hatchback yo), i too dream of driving a car that is less than 15 years old. dare to dream! oh yeah, and in case the car gods are listening, i also would like said "young" car to not leak gasoline, not burn oil, not have a slow leak in the front righthand side tire (or any of the tires for that matter), not be a rust bucket, and not make a weird noise everytime i idle. amen.

oh yeah, and no GD white leased cars, either.

So, white and leased are out, but what about Saturn?? Just jokes. I honestly don't think I really have anything against Saturn. Maybe it is a good thing to make a car out of plastic.

Slow leak in the front righthand side tire? You know after my car was dead in the snow for 3 months, the front driver's side tire stopped leaking after I blew it up again. It was a miracle! It will probably be flat today because I said that.

i forgot the most important thing about your post -- GOOD JOB on getting your proposal to your committee when you said you would! this is huge! i would give you five gold stars w/ smiley faces on them for all your great work! go jan go!

your dentist vs. gyn/ob question is a good one, btw. as triumph the comic insult dog would say, it's kinda like deciding what puddle of vomit to lick. that really doesn't fit, i just wanted to throw that in since i think the little puppet dog is funny.

oh yeah, that makes me think of how you could have sent in your "no thanks" to the postdocs you turned down: "thank you for the job offer but i am taking the one at UCLA. it was a tough decision because your offer was a great opportunity...FOR ME TO POOP ON!!. just kidding dr. brain imaging guy. i'm just a big fan of triumph. see you at the conference!"

it's all original folks. :)

getting proposal in = great!
forget about it for awhile.

seriously, when i thought about being a dentist, my chem teacher wrote me a rec letter, but was super reluctant to give it to me - he said, "look kid, i just gotta know WHY oh WHY anyone in her right mind would want to pick crap out of people's teeth -- for a living?! smell their bad breath...it's worse than dealing with feet all day"
that was the clincher.
and supposedly they have the highest suicide rate of any other profession out there, so i'd go with the v-jay jays too given those 2 options.

PS> good news about turtle's health too!
