Random thing you love right now that doesn't deserve its own thread

That feeling when a particularly frustrating project finally compiles without error.

edit: Thought I posted this earlier, guess not - Congrats Coldstream!

Congratulations Coldstream!

Congrats, Coldstream! It won't be long before you long for the days when all you had to do was study for a test.

I've had it a week or so now, but I still really love my new gold icon, it never fails to make me smile! Excellent work Elysia!

Very nice.

I am happy that the strike at my work was called off and we now have a tentative agreement.

*Edit* I just found out that I won the vote to become one of 5 Union Stewards at my workplace.

I'm done!

Unless I screwed something up badly, I'll never have to take another damned USMLE test ever again! Hurrah!

So how soon do we call you Doc?

How soon until your handwriting becomes unreadable?

Does my prostate feel swollen to you?

You really don't need daily checkups.

I've been a doctor since the end of May 2012, but the way it works in the USA, we have to take three licensing exams: Step 1 (halfway though med school; tests scientific knowledge), Step 2 (In final year of medical school; tests diagnostic knowledge), and Step 3 (after graduation and sometime during residency training; tests ability to function as an unsupervised independent physician). The final step is required before you can be a fully-licensed physician. Prior to that, you're sort of in a weird spot where you're working as a doctor, but under the supervision of another licensed doctor.

Heh, those days are already gone. I've been working 60-80hrs weekly in the hospital since June while getting ready for this exam (amongst other things).

Why do you guys get the fun exam and I get stuck with the vise-grip x-ray machine?

Ask for one of those transwhatever ultrasounds.

I've had those, dude. Not as much fun as you might think.

I love that I mentioned on facebook that "I guess I am union man now" and my friend came online to tell me he interpreted my writing as "I guess I am a unicorn man now"

Little known fact, union membership is near 100% amongst unicorns.

Doing it once with a unicorn doesn't make you a unicorn man. Everyone experiments.

Congrats, Coldstream:) Next stop, board exam!

My contributions to the annual review process at work are done for the year, at long last. Management still has to get into a series of cage fights about what the final results will be for everyone, but my review is written and I am done writing feedback for other people.

I was at a Comedy show in Portland tonight and the Sklar Bros. dropped in for an impromptu set. They hung out for awhile and were very cool.

Congrats! Thankfully, only my boss has to provide feedback about me at this company but my review is finally done as well this morning. Because of the merger we're going through and that all the employees of the place we bought need the salaries reviewed cause they've had no money for raises for 5+ years, my review was done almost 2 months late. The good news is I found out raises around here are normally retroactive so if I'm due for a raise (and I'm sure I am), I'll get a payroll addition for the time between when my review was supposed to be done and when the raise kicks in. My Visa which is still loaded with Christmas spending looks forward to that.

And that people in England refer to 2000-2009 as the "naughties"

A foreign coworker of mine always says hello via instant message as "hai". I don't correct him because it amuses me very much.

It warms my heart to see that nice old woman enjoying Disgaea
