Chinese for Thanksgiving
I know what you are thinking, how traditional right? I agree. For the second year in a row I have spent my Thanksgiving far away from family, far away from home, far away from anything that even resembles a thanksgiving dinner, and this year it was chinese food. Not very good chinese food either.
Last year I went on a tour of random peoples houses and stuffed my self full of turkey dinners. This year I was planning on going around as well but either pure laziness or just lack of interest caused me to make a detour to the only open restaurant for miles and order chicken lo mein, and overcooked egg rolls.
Delicious.
I was not able to go home because once again I am on duty for the holidays. This seems to be a reoccurring theme. Why is every single holiday in this country 6 weeks apart? Due to that slight coincidence I have spent every three day weekend for the last year and a half right here in MD walking around town with a pager.
Now I am here at work at the butt crack of dawn. I volunteered to come in so that at least someone else could have a normal thanksgiving. I am not planning on having any patients at all.. just gonna sit here and study all day.
There’s no place like home for the holidays.

Community is one of the main topics I touch on here. My community, my social media is an email and iMessage, but I thought I could do more. I did such an experiment last year and I quit soon after. I don't think I was ready for it. Today I still don…

It feels weird to be writing anything right now that isn't somehow related to Friday's CrowdStrike incident, but given I recorded this video just a few hours before all hell broke loose, it'll have to wait until next week. This week, the issue…
