so I can leave if someone was supposed to be here at 6:30, right? Even running late, this is too late.

no call, no message. people suck.

Meanwhile I was over 2 hours late getting a document to someone, so I suck too.

Kalshane, I so know your pain. I don't know what it is that medical school does to people; I know so, so many who are brilliant and brave and miracle workers as physicians, but who need to be forcibly prevented from involving themselves in anything not strictly medical. Paperwork, record-keeping, database maintenance, formatting Word docs, scheduling meetings, preparing mass mailings, designing pamphlets and web pages -- for every one doctor who actually has a clue in hell what s/he's doing, there are forty who will fuck it up so badly it makes you cry.

And then, if you try to fix it, will overexplain what they were TRYING to do. I don't care what you were trying to do and I sure as hell don't care why, and I especially don't care to sit for two hours listening to you deliver a dissertation on why as a doctor you feel it is only right that when I pry it out of your hands I start doing it exactly your way.

Paperwork is not perfectly analagous and identical to patient care; in fact, not so much at all. The fact that you're brilliant at what you actually do -- great, but almost totally irrelevant to what any of the rest of us do.

Please, please, please, for the love of all that's holy. All we ask of you is that, in return for your paycheck which is on average worth four of any of ours, you (a) keep your mitts off our shit, and (b) stop bloviating at us about it. We don't care. If you want us to care, pay us what you make. Till then, STFU.

Thank you oh so very much.

Blowing off a meeting is worse than a late document. Especially a meeting after working hours.

And a meeting that's already been rescheduled once.

I have to wonder what their definition of "professionalism" is.

well, they are volunteers, so my guess is their definition is extremely loose. Nevermind that I am not a volunteer and while I don't have much of a life that is affected by sitting 2 hours after work in my office, it's fairly rude of them to assume it.

I am working on not being so angry though, so I'mma go home and have a coke-float while watching an action movie.

This is bullshit. Go home, and hell with them.

Cindy is mean. I did not need a new addiction.

Man, that sounds fab. I had dinner, but now I want something else. Possibly ice cream. Maybe I'll just distract myself with boozy hot chocolate, so I don't spend any money.

Timelies all!

I need to go pack. Not that it'll take more than 5 minutes.(My biggest decision? Which t-shirts to bring.)

msbelle, that's ghastly. Please go home. What a bunch of thoughtless assheads.
