Schedules

As insane as the past few days (weeks) have been, every now and then something will happen that will leave me in a fit of laughter making the day a little bit better. You see, my job may be crazy these days, but some of the people I work with are even crazier. Today's laugh break was sponsored by one of my favorite about-to-be-senior fellows.

In an email to our current and incoming trainees regarding the tentative plans for orientation he finishes off one section with this:

"This will be concise, hopefully informative, and worth your time. We will discuss such topics as echo, cath, device and call basics as well as how to play nicely with the ER, and when you are allowed to procreate, etc."

What makes that so darn funny (other than my exhaustion) is the fact that I happen to know he's not kidding. So many of them started/expanded families in the past two years that they started scheduling who could procreate when.

There was something else last week that made me think that perhaps I should give the incoming fellows fair warning of exactly what kind of bizarre family they were joining, but I decided it would be more fun to watch them figure it out on their own!
