March on!

Can't believe it's almost march!
When I left work today there were 3 kids with their chests open (heart surgery leaves the chest open a while) and one with three tubes in his lungs. All in all a normal day.
So I got hold of the Eddie Izzard standup comedy video and watched it tonight. Freakin' hilarious.
Other than that, life in Vegas is muy boring right now.

Sold!

So my life has a pathway now. I signed on to join a practice here in Vegas. Guess I'll be here a while. So met a beautiful woman while up north, who kept flirting with me. In my usual brilliant way I screwed it up, and never talked with her. I rule! I gotta say, there are great things about being single, but I forgot how much I SUCK at small talk and dating.
I guess having watched the movie "50 first dates" tonight kinda set me off.
It was good, by the way.
I gotta work tomorrow (happy prez day). Yipee!

Board or boards

Yeah, passed my boards (USMLE step III). This is part 3 of the medical licensing exam. There still is the pediatric boards in Oct which is $1400.00. Yeah! Thats the one that is not required, but if you pass it, you can call yourself a board certified pediatrician.
Speaking of boards, spent the last week on vacation including snow boarding in Lake Tahoe. Thanks to my ever cool friends, I got free lift ticket and rental. Oh yes!
It may be because I just got off a 30 hr shift in the ICU, but the word board looks really funny to me. It doesn't look like it should even be a word. hmmm...
