b.o.r.i.n.g.

even though "the dude" thinks he could never get bored as a psychiatrist, i am already bored. perhaps because i don't really do anything or make any real decisions. among my colleagues*, this seems to be the determining factor as to whether or not you enjoy your rotation. (at least this early in the game... i hear later it becomes how good your hours are...)

*it's fun to call my friends "colleagues"

here's a picture of what i stare at for hours a day... minus "the dude" and the patient...

at least he is giving me a lot of hints for my "post-rotation exam"... and i really like him. he's funny and enjoyable. i just do NOT want to be a psychiatrist. (in case i haven't mentioned it before...)

as promised... i said i'd let you know what i ended up doing this morning. i went in about 7:45. it took me a little bit to realize "the dude" went in ahead of me (EARRRRRRLY this morning) and saw his patients, and signed off an imaginary note that i was to later fill in on my patients. that was nice of him, eh? (did i mention he's canadian?). when i met up with him at the residential facility (office shown above), he mentioned something about he thought about calling to have me go ahead and come in earlier. blast!

don't get me wrong... i really do enjoy this MUCH MORE than anything else i've done in the past couple of years. even though it's not great... it's still great, you know?
