a surreal chain of events...

ugh, what a crappy, ugly day. miserable weather, looming transit strike, and seems like everyone's just getting screwed over. the canuck made the mistake of telling his boss early on that he was leaving, just to give him enough notice and time to find someone new; sure enough, they find someone new, like, last week, and told him that hey, so more patients for you, thanks for the memories. my poor sister-in-law got shafted by her now-ex-fiance with whom she was supposed to by her dream house. even the ending of tonight's apprentice! poor rebecca. i mean, i really liked randall, they were both excellent candidates. but when trump asks randall, hey, rebecca's really good, should i hire her? and randall's like, "no, there is only one apprentice!" i was like, give me a break! the poor girl worked thru a broken ankle and STILL made it thru to the end. he wouldn't have lost out by telling trump to hire her, too. and don't even get me started on that alla chick... what a bitch! man, people are just out to gut you...

on a positive note, did some really great dentistry today - surgical extraction, some posts, and i started a root canal on a phobic patient and she didn't feel a thing. and what IS a root canal, pray tell? check it out! http://www.ada.org/public/topics/root_canal_faq.asp and no, they really aren't as bad as folks make it out to be, the whole point of a root canal is to take you OUT of pain!
