I drink the same caffeinated swill from downstairs every single day and it's always the same. Today it's different. I'd like to think it isn't poisoned. On the other hand, if it is poisoned, that's a damn good excuse to postpone a final.
It's normal to think that just because something's different, it's probably poisoned.
It is so.

I love the insanity finals causes. Yesterday after our final from hell, we all stood around and talked in grunts and hand motions, because our ability to speak had been diminished from the head trauma that was that test. An actual transcript of part of a conversation with several classmates after yesterday's final: "Did you...or....what?" "Um...there?...but...no...well...yeah" 'Man...I mean...yeah..." "yeah....that...yeah.." "I have to....or....what?" "Crying. Tears. Bad." "where is car? did I drive?"
I also had a dream about yesterday's final last night. Pretty much as it happened until after I put my name on the scantron I had to fight off a pit of snakes giant.

I had one of those on Monday. It's like after a long night of playing hard, the next morning you feel like crap and all you can do is think, "oh....oh...no" every time you think of what you drank, what you said.
Still, I maintain that it's better at least to me to come out that way. I have learned that if you come out like, "I kicked that thing's ass!" you should just line up the shots and start heavily imbibing b/c you're toast.

Oy, I thought I was past all that mind numbing stress when I graduated, but alas...the working world has this too. I'm on week 3 of the new job, which is....shall we say......a slightly altered version of the Shangri-La I was sold, with a bonus free waterfront property in the Everglades, when I was interviewed. This is the earliest I have gotten home from work since I started. I'm working 12-13 hour days and can't stand the sight or sound of human life anytime outside of that time frame. I DO NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH ANYONE ELSE'S PROBLEMS. Clinically, it's a great job, a lot of creative freedom, the clinical director, who I was warned was awful, is a great guy who reminds me of my old boss from Merck that I loved.....MY boss, who I THOUGHT was a great guy, is a turd. We've already had two brawls.....well, actually it was ME doing the yelling and him sputtering and trying to defend himself with the few brain cells he has. I think I won that round though....HIS boss likes me (and doesn't like him) and the clinical director, who is my clinical supervisor, loves me....and hates him. So.....pucker up, boy.... 
The lawyer-types in the fam will understand this part: BILLABLE HOURS SUCK ASS!!!!!!! That's the part of the job that really blows....so in spirit......a rather disheveled, tattered spirit, if not in study, I'm right there with y'all.....almost makes me wish I was still drinking.

Yeppers. Thanks Jules... 
Decent day yesterday, I think all my ranting and raving with the boss finally paid off. We had a great case consult and he actually took some time to train the new guy we just hired, so perhaps what I had to deal with paved the way for the two new people we're getting. I think I'm finally getting a handle on everything too, which will dial the stress down a few notches.
He actually made a joke yesterday about me being a princess (obviously he was kidding  )....perhaps there's hope for him yet!
