Why are we waiting?

Rabbits continue to eat Aidan's peppers in our garden, and I persist in going to work every day.
I recevied the terrible and fateful news last week that I would not be fired after all. My body continues to conduct expert biomechanical analyses to be regarded in the highest courts in the land while my mind and soul drift ever so further toward an elusive position that will save and better human lives, rather than playing baby vulture to the evil beast that pecks the eyes of our society's rotting carcass. (No offense to the esquires among us.) In any case, it turns out I'm going to have to do more than tell everyone I'm leaving and stop showing up at work to get rid of my job.

I'm open for suggestions.

"And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell." Matthew 18:9
Kristin, do you think you could get me a discount lobotomy?

Alternatively, for the secular minded, recall the scene from which this quote is taken:
"I'm just wondering, do you even remember when you first sold out?" (I predict only Ha-Doug will know the source)

By the way, if I knew it just took a pregnancy to get power over the location of the BLD New Years...

C'mon Doug - I know you know the answer. It's on the tip of my tongue but that's as far as it's going to get...

Ha-Doug said...

Sorry to disappoint, but I don't recognize that quote at all. I'm hoping it's because I haven't seen the movie.

I know! I know! (or at least I think I know)...
how about them apples??

Good ole' Will, right?

We quoted that the other night on my peds team, because we broke the record of all time at our hospital for the number of admits in one night (in August!!!...which will mean something to those who work with or have kidos and know that they mostly get sick in the winter). Anyway, we worked our butts off. But, I officially finished peds today and it's on to psych, so Dan, I'm your woman (don't tell Jay), I can work that brain fry in any day...

My advice to Aidan:
Shoot the rabbits and cook them with your peppers. And, if you need help with that, call your Uncle Willis.

Mazzucco said...

It is NOT from Good Will Hunting

Matt says the quote to John Voigt.

And I hope Doug is reading the comments this far back, b/c he must have seen this movie.

that's a great movie - rainmaker. i own it, i think, but haven't watched it for a while. maybe i'll watch it this weekend. dan, do you remember when your dad made fun of me for owning DVDs and watching movies multiple times? and then he made fun of me for majoring in classics. "yeah, there's a pretty high demand these days for people who can translate latin"
