Good Friday

Today was a solid day. An answered-prayer type of good day. The sun was shining and all was right. Other than Josh's thrilling epi jokes, there weren't particular highlights to the day. I'm just an easy sell. Had an 8:15AM lab. Got two shots at the doctor's. And spent the rest of the day at work ignoring my homework. I went grocery shopping. Cooked dinner. Watched Grey's. And now I'm in front of the computer again, ready to get some more work done. That's all I want from a day, really: Good food, good work, and good public health (you're welcome for getting vaccinated, World).


Josh's Thrilling Epi Joke (assume this is funny*):

Man: How's it going?

Epidemiologist: Not very good. I'm weighed down by age and sex.

Like all good epidemiology jokes, I don't fully comprehend this. I may have misheard or misremembered the punch line. The moral of the story is that epidemiologists stratify a lot of things by age and sex. And that they are not good joke tellers. Funny, yes, kind, nerdy, all the things you want in life, and they're great at talking smack about biostatisticians. But can they tell a good joke about their own profession? No dice.

*See what I did there? I made an epi joke.
