Thoughts on the Day

  • I hate it when I wake up a few minutes before the alarm, lay back down, then dream I got up and got ready for work.
    • Waking up from that is always a let down.
  • I shouldn’t use the term “poking the pooch” to describe someone’s professional conduct and performance.
  • The utility of writing plans months in advance is that when someone gives you clearance to do something, you can pounce before they have a chance to change their mind.
  • No, really, I feel bad that you have to work a weekend.  This is my empathy face.
  • I am forever thankful that I made it home alive tonight.
    • Apparently the correct method for getting out of the way for an ambulance is to try to park your semi-tractor in my engine compartment.  Luckily, there was no-one behind me when I locked  up my brakes instead of coming to a nice safe stop.
    • I’m glad I got new tires when I did.  The roads were slick on the drive home.
  • It changed over from rain to snow in the space of about 5 minutes.  Haven’t seen that in a while.
  • Boo demanded to know what I had done when we had a power blip tonight.
    • I was unaware of this super power, but I promise to only use it for good.
  • Several of Girlie Bear’s classmates in JROTC learned they have been accepted to the service academies today.  It’s got her thinking.
    • Does West Point or Annapolis offer a pre-med program?

      Thanks NFO. I think she’s more likely to go the ROTC route and then go to med school, if she continues to want to be a doctor. I’m particularly interested in the med school run by the military. http://www.usuhs.mil/

        I know a couple of guys that went through the Corps of Cadets ROTC program here at Virginia Tech, and then went on to med school on the Army’s dime. As a bonus, VT is a Senior Military College, so she’s guaranteed an active duty commission at graduation if she goes that route.

        As a further bonus, Virginia Tech has an affiliated medical school (VCOM) right next door. I know and work (as an EMT-Intermediate) with several VCOM graduates, and they’re some of the best doctors I’ve seen in 15 years of EMS.
