That ID article is very weird. Actually, it's weirdly like a lot of ID spokespeople itself in the way it seems to be setting up a situation as though it was a big controversy when in fact there's no there there.

Why hasn't ID done as well as expected in academia? Well, who would honestly have expected it to in the first place? Scientists haven't glommed on in mass numbers? Actual experimentation according to scientific principles doesn't appear to be forthcoming? Hello. Kind of the point, yo.

How do you actually know when I've been bad or good?

The really annoying part about the repeated "are you knocked up" questions is that you can check off things like types of birth control, but there's not a check box for "Is there a star in the East?"

(draw a diagram of your family tree? I told her to write, "patient thinks this is dumb" on it) while

What, like your own personal family death chart?

Well, the NYT had an article a few months back where they actually treated ID seriously. (I can't remember exactly what they said.) So this is consistent of them.

Damn liberal media.

Wait, that can't be it.

And they were 40 minutes late.

DH is more impatient than most people waiting on appointments that don't start on time. He always tries to schedule for the first appointment. So he asked his old doctor what time his first appointment was. The doctor said, "What time do you want to come in?" Repeatedly. DH finally said, "I want YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT FOR THE DAY." Even then, he was still kept waiting 40 minutes. No way the doc could be 40 minutes behind due to overscheduling at 7:30 a.m.

DH got fed up and switched to my GP. She's never kept me waiting longer than 10 minutes once I get into an exam room.

I just got two emails from another division asking me for technical help that has nothing to do with my job. Blackberry help? The company's most populat programming language?

From complete strangers -- it's eerily like I'm being electronically punk'd.

Not answering them, though.

Irritatingly enough, I'm still waiting on real e-mail from people who are avoiding me.

The problem was that the student was doing the thing that I'll not TMI on everyone, and she hurt me.

That happened to me not long ago Allyson with a resident. They were nice about it, but the guy was having problems with the equipment. I did let them know that it wasn't the most pleasant experience. I felt like I had been mugged afterwards.
