So I've been asked to write a recommendation letter for one of my employees who is applying to medical school. Weird.

how are they at tending wounds?

You guys are some industrious motherfuckers. I took me weeks to figure out where to buy an auxiliary cord

I mean, he's good at waiting tables, I guess that would make him a good doctor, right?

Is it common that applicants to med school get recommendations like that? I'd figure profs, and maybe if someone worked in a medical setting you'd seek an employer's letter.

Medical schools expect to see letters from the following people:

1) Your pre-medical committee or adviser
2) A science professor
3) A supervisor from your clinical or research experience
4) Your major professor, if you are a graduate student
5) Your supervisor, if you are currently employed

I guess that falls under #5, and that the candidate has been out of school for a bit. Can't say it seems like it would boost the candidacy, though. OTOH , it might stand out.

Yeah, he didn't get accepted the first go around, so he's trying again. His advisor thinks it will help. I guess I'm supposed to comment on his ability to work as part of a team and his people skills. It's just a strange thought that I'd be recommending someone for med school considering the last class I graduated was bartending school.

gotta look at that ERA(i mean not being a lazy fool while he was denied)

I don't know but maybe stuff about dependability and character handling stressful situations and difficult people and stuff like that. I mean we want that in our doctors don't we.

Plus academic institutions are all into diversity and stuff -- your employee may have some cool life experience stuff that is unique that you might comment about.

if he's pursuing some sort of mental health training it might be very good indeed; everyone knows that almost all bosses are nuts

nearly murdered someone on the t tonight.

i fucking hate everyone

when i was in 10th grade i went up to boston to visit a friend going to school there. went with a few friends and one of them was this girl i had a huge crush on. we ended up on the t one night and i was standing next to her since there were no seats. when it started to move it kinda jerked forward and i wasn't ready so to catch myself i ended up grabbing her ass so hard. never got any farther than that tho.

well i guess thats better than nothing

You could be a Phillies fan.

Sports are stupid.

Toms--when you buy a pair, they buy a pair for some poor person in the third world. Nice, right? But do they have to make your feet smell like the third world too?
