White Coat Ceremony

It's been a crazy week and two days. I had orientation last week and school officially started yesterday. Here are the highlights:

1. I made my first incision (in a cadaver)
2. I've spent a ridiculous amount of money on books/supplies (~$1300)
3. I get a fancy microscope
4. The fire hose analogy is appropriate

Here's a picture of the white coat ceremony. It was really cool.

You've got to love KSL's dilligence

I just read an article entitled "Bikers meet with Ogden City after cops crash their ride", and laughed as reporter Andrew Adams referred to "bikers with a group known as Critical Mass". It was apparent from the picture of a motorcycle in the article that Andrew had no idea what Critical Mass was. I'm sure he had visions of Hell's Angels clashing with police in little old Ogden. Not Quite.

Being the kind soul that I am, I sent Andrew an email (to which he didn't reply) informing him that although he had selected a nice picture, Critical Mass is about bicycles, not Harleys. I'm sure he tucked his tail between his legs as he went and asked the IT guy to change the picture in the article.

Why be a sausage just because you know how?

I rode my bike to work this morning and parked it in my cubicle.

The CFO walked by and the following conversation ensued.

CFO: "What's this bike bull crap in the office?"
Me: "(CFO), it's not bike bull crap in the office, it's bike in the office."
CFO: "Who told you that you could bring it in here?"
Me: "(HR director)."

CFO makes a grumpy exit.

I'm riding it again tomorrow.
