An odd, but good, happening at work.
I have been taking special requests from the residents for as long as I have been here, but this group got together and got me a $50 gift certificate from a very nice restaurant.

I do not know why, but I am a little bit touched by the whole thing.

3. Things that make me feel dirty and cheap.
Not really, just pathology residents want extra slide cut of the "interesting" things to take with them when they go out into the real world. Right now I have 140 extra slides to cut tonight due to all the "interesting" pieces...

2. My dear Dave!
Of course you're touched......they showed you just how very special you really are!

And I join with Shine in wondering just what you did to make them give you this special gift!

I think that they were acknowledging your very humanity...

:hug:

4. Hi Peggy,
see my reply to Shine about the shameful and possibly illegal acts I am forced to perform....

I am not too sure about my humanity, though. My motives are that if I ever go out looking for a job again, these kids will remember me and have pity on a fat old histotech....
