Stupid people irritate me. But I tolerate them because they usually can't help it. However, when otherwise intelligent people do indescribably stupid things exhibiting a complete and utter lack of common sense I get the powerful urge to beat my head against the floor. And when they do this while at work I want to beat their heads against the floor. And on top of everthing else... I have an obnoxiously persistent head cold that has seriously diminished my tolerance for stupidity. I think I'll go curl up in bed and moan for awhile.

I just died a little.

Do you ever wanna just... punch someone in the face? I never have until just recently. It's not a good feeling.

I am, however, looking forward to next week. I scored an extra day off so now I have Tuesday through Friday off, instead of Wednesday through Friday. I still probably won't head to SoPo until Wednesday. Tuesday will be my day for running errands and tying up loose ends. But I am *beyond* excited for Thanksgiving. I can't wait.

Tonight:

Intern: Can I prescribe oral meds in CCU?

Me: As long as they aren't antibiotics.

Intern: They aren't. Just enalapril, denosyl and marin.

Me: What's marin?

Intern: I dunno.

Me: You're prescribing a medication and you don't know what it does?

Intern (laughing): No, I know what it is.

Me: What is it?

Intern: (pause) I'm gonna go talk to pharmacy.


This is why I love my job. It every now and then makes me feel very smart.

I just got home from the Patriots game. It's true. It may have been a terrible game, but I was THERE. Fifteen rows up from the end zone. It was freakin amazing. Too bad they lost. Stupid Colts.

I'm going to sleep now. :)
