My program director the Vulcan

My program director is a Vulcan! I was just watching a bit of Star Trek Voyager, and it hit me! Those of you who do not know what the heck I am talking about - watch some Star Trek. A vulcan is an emotionless individual who bases all of their decisions on "logic". That is him, and that is the problem. He logcially decides what it is that you "need to hear" to kick you in the ass and get you moving. The problem is that some of us are silly emotional humans, and logic just does not work on us! Logic would say that I should be happy that my husband is away so that I can study... Wrong. Logic would say that I should be happy that I am nearing the end of my residency... Wrong. Logic would say that I should be excited about being able to do procedures entirely on my own... Wrong. I wish every day that Jurgen was here. I am dreading the process of ending my residency. I am terrified of doing procedures on my own. Alas, my emotions just get in the way.

On a happier note, I am doing much better this Monday night, than last. I can't believe what a bit of furry company can do to make things seem better. God bless pets. God bless Seven and Stupe. What would I do without them? Only 4 more days until the weekend and it is an extremely short week (normal day, call, post call, half day) - even I can live through that.

I just realized that I was making life statements based on a television show... God bless TV!!
