Alright, first I have to vent.
I have to work today. I'm a doctor, and I have to round on the inpatients. I understand, patients are sick, someone needs to see them. I have to take call from home after I'm done rounding, but that's not that big of a deal.
What really pisses me off is that I have to work the Christmas weekend too. Thanksgiving and Xmas. I'm the new guy, so I understand. But I work in a large academic medical center and we have many other docs in our department. The number of holidays vs. the number of docs in our department vs the number needed to cover all of our inpatients means I should only have to average one holiday per year. But now I have to cover two and the two biggest of the year. Pisses me off to no end.
If those bastards think I'm working Thanksgiving AND Christmas next year, they've got another thing coming.
OK Rant over
Have a happy Thanksgiving! Be safe, if you're traveling to houses/different families, don't drink and drive.
