Thought or Rant of the day!!!

[Undine]

Currently I'm buying textbooks.

[Friar Briar]

I feel your pain, Undine. There are some online textbook sources tho, those textbook companies will eat you alive. D:

Me, I'm getting ready for school too, but from the other side of the desk.

It's sink or swim time again!!

[Undine]

In that case, I'll wish luck to the both of us!

[Friar Briar]

Thanks! Good luck to you too!

I study English literature (among various other aspects of the English language), so I definitely feel your pain. Physically too, those books are heavy!

My MR machine shat itself today, so I haven't been able to see any patients for three hours. As a result, I'm being paid to sit in the tearoom and eat cake. Dream job?

Mmm...cake taster for the day *licks lips*

[Alladinsane]

I think I was feeling emo today as I sent this to my wife. Please take it in the south park and Big Bang Theory its designed.

Everlasting deep desolation of devoid doldrums.
Effervescent evil effects of cruciferous vegetables eat at the nostrils.
Lo be the one who walks through the wafts of waning sulfurous clouds.
Woe indeed.

I had to get three stitches in my thumb yesterday. The culprit? A butter knife.

I'm genuinely curious as to how you managed that.

It's kind of embarrassing, actually. I was about to make lunch, and I was trying to pry apart these two frozen hamburger patty things (broke college kids can only afford almost-food), and I guess I was using quite a lot of force. The butter knife slipped and went right into my thumb.

So that was annoying, but the things that took place afterwards were even more irritating. I went to the on-campus health services place, but nobody was in there for whatever reason. I then ran to campus security, and they brought me to a MedExpress a few blocks away. They needed my health insurance information before they could treat me, though (one reason why I hate healthcare in the United States), so we went back to Campus so I could print off my health insurance card. The website wasn't working properly, though, so I had to call the company. Finally, after about two hours of running around with a very deep cut in my hand, I was able to be treated.

I've done a similar thing to that, though not with a butter knife - technically, it was a dinner knife. We'd just gotten a fancy brand new set from my grandmother as a wedding gift (so this was... three or four years ago?) and I had no idea the top inch of the knife was actually quite sharp. It was so sharp, in fact, that the only pain came after the fact, and I had no idea what had happened for a few seconds. My thumb just started welling up blood and bleeding everywhere.

The dishwasher has blunted them all now, though.

I get the hamburger conundrum. I'm a scungy MR tech; I live off cereal and canned tuna. And, you're a rare talent, Undine. Magnificent effort

[Snowdrop]

I live off cereal and canned tuna.

Sounds good to me...

I prefer to slice my fingers with the sharp knifes though, trying to 'save time' by cutting veg without using a chopping board. I took the very, very tip off of one finger once. That was fun...not

[Rebma]

Ew. I have a deformed pinky from a very bad slip with a paring knife (buhbye top 1/2 cm) And a deformed thumbprint because cheese slicer.
