My first award

From Annarella:

Annarella writes,

Balls and Walnuts fantastico quando commenta “The Idiot’s Guide to Getting Girls”, per i post sempre interessanti, ironici e divertenti su vita americana, sesso, politica.

Fortunately for me, Annarella translates, too.

Balls and Walnuts who’s really great when he’s commenting about “The Idiot’s Guide to Getting Girls” and for all his very clever and smart articles about USA, politics and sex.

Yup, this really is my first award. And completely unsolicited, too. And especially tasty since it’s coming from a reader whom I have not met. Welcome, Annarella! Stay tuned for another installment of the Idiots Guide to Getting Girls, this weekend. I’m still waiting for the nasty email from the author. Or from the author’s lawyers. Cease! Desist! Shrivel up and die, blogger!

***

Rough day today. I had a stressful case in the OR which kept me late, and I’m looking at a nasty day tomorrow, too. No doubt I’ll be coming into the hospital this weekend to check on patients.

Upshot, it’s only 9:09 and I’m having trouble keeping my eyes open. When I think back to the things I did during residency, I’m amazed and disgusted by my present wimpishness. Whatever happened to the guy who could take shit from general surgeons, neurosurgeons, ER docs, nurses, and surly patients, stay up all night sewing up drunks, and round in the morning with a smile on his face?

I need a new category: whining. Heck yeah, why not?

D.

PS: I need to come up with an award for other bloggers. It looks like fun. What should it be — Smart Mouth Award? Or perhaps, Smart Ass Award. I’d be qualified to judge that.

    I haven’t given you an award? Well, I did give you an eFruitcake. That must count for something. 😉

  2. Walnut says:

    Yes, but did the eFruitcake have a cute little jpg for me to post?

    And I don’t remember the eFruitcake. What’s wrong with me these days.

    I’d like to point out that I’ve never met you and I’m sure I’ve given you awards. If I haven’t it’s an oversight.

    There is something nice about winning an INTERNATIONAL AWARD. yep, that looks good.

    The Nice Ass Award. Haven’t a clue what you’d award it FOR, though.

  5. dcr says:

    Yes, it had a “cute little jpg” that was even dated with the year. Fancy.

    Maybe this December, I’ll make it an International Fruitcake or something. 😉

    By the way, I’ll soon (hopefully!) have a dating book mention on my blog that you might enjoy. Stay tuned!
