Maria is awesome. She is also knowledgeable about Playmobils. Though none of them involve caped Santas. That's still a mystery. But when I grow up, I want to be like her. And not at all like Doc Query. Who lies about his age.
Query: I've had enough excitement in my 29 years that some people have in a lifetime.
Moi: Wait, you're only 29?
Query: ... No.
Moi: You totally look it though.
Query: Thank you.
Not only did I get to spend the day doing work in a study sanctuary, find out that I got a scholarship for having a blessed combination of smarts and poverty, and put up a board item that pleased Doc Firewall (nationally recognized as the nicest ER doc in Boston), but instead of being bullied at work today, I merely witnessed it.
Doc Winner: Peer pressure is a bitch.
Whitecastle: It never stops when you grow older. It just gets worse.
Doc Winner: Oh yeah?
Whitecastle: Yeah, how many papers have you published today anyway? Shouldn't you be working?
(later)
Doc Winner: Getting picked on is a sign that they like us, right?
Moi: Y'know, I tell myself that. But sometimes, I just don't think so.
