Blast from the past

Today was side-ponytail/side parts and socks & sandals day at school. It was for our class fundraising. I had my little demure low ponytail slightly pulled to the side in the morning. But lo and behold, I walk out into my building lobby and there were some of my classmates dressed head to toe with quirky high ponytails straight out of the 80s, and guys with their hair gelled and perfectly parted down the side. They looked like they were out of some weird forties/fifties movie. Oh, and don’t forget the knee high socks and Birkenstocks.






Okay, so maybe it was more ‘Revenge of the Nerds’ but who’s keeping track? Of course I had to fix mine and make it more…ahem…dramatic. I think we scared some of the non-meddies at the bus stop. Like who are all these weirdos with the green backpacks and crazy outfits. HAHA, good times.

I think we should make this a tradition. Like literally I think we should still do it even when we’re all attendings and ALL-POWERFUL. We’ll all show up in whatever hospital/clinic we’re working at with these hairdos and outfits, and scare our residents and students. Yeah, they’ll think what the heck is going on, and then we’ll casually mention didn’t they get the memo on the new dress-code? And of course they’ll run away in circles and scurry around to try to please us. And then we’ll stand back and laugh at them. Because did I mention, attendings OWN you?? Oh, future residents and underlings of Dr. Stuff, I feel sorry for you. I’m an evil, evil girl… [devious cackling in the background]

Stupid quote of the day:
Stuff
[Talking about suturing and doing anything remotely involving the hands]
“Yeah, so I’m not too good with this medicine stuff”

Truffles
[look of shock and slight terror]
“Okkkaaay…”
