Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Matilda does love her some princesses, but it's gratifying that her favorite is Princess Diana of Themyscira.

In less gratifying girly news, one of our new faculty members is growing... discouraged would be putting it mildly. Since arriving here as colleague, mentee, open-heart-surgical protegee and pet statistics wizard of the new division chief, she's had to deal with endless incidents where senior faculty members turn to her at the end of meetings and say, "Your enthusiasm is nice, but students aren't really supposed to come," or preop families spend an hour watching as she examines their kid and then sitting down for another hour to discuss the upcoming operation in incredible detail, and then say, "Thank you so much, you've been so helpful! When do we get to meet the surgeon?"

And just today, a parent who'd heard about another faculty member resigning called to ask whether a new surgeon had been assigned to her child's case yet, and to say, almost apologetically, "I'm really not sexist *at all,* it's just that I'm more comfortable with male doctors. Nothing against this surgeon, I've never heard anything bad about her; I just really prefer men. But I'm not sexist!"

What the actual fuck, people?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

OK, could Robin defeat Yoda?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Please, Yoda would kick any Robin's ass.

What the actual fuck, people?

My dad often says that his cardiologist is really good, and then adds "And she's a female!"

I won't bother to recount what I've said to him umpteen times about how wrong-headed that is (not to mention how fucking ridiculous it is to use "female" like that), because he just doesn't respect women, and it breaks my heart. He loves *me*, and I would even say he respects me, but I'm 100% sure it's in spite of being a woman.
