Puttering along. No, that would imply I work in a factory or office setting. Unfortunately the profession I'm in is increasingly being run like a factory improving efficiency however the acceptable losses is still considered to be zero. Unlike carburetors–of which the worst case scenario is a flawed shipment costing $$$–people are not expendable. When a carburetor isn't functioning properly the usual treatment is to replace it. Not so with human beings. There is no reason for a mechanic to be on call to fix a car emergently in a night.
It is enjoyable though and satisfying. That little part that glorifies in fixing problems while interacting with people burns brightly every day for me. Although every now and then I fix a problem or two and then my patient happens to pass away from something else despite the improvement he or she had shown.
But those thoughts are for another day.

Thoughts? Wonders? Orders for McDonald's?* Leave them all here! The only request is that if you know me, no direct names of anyone we know please. I seem to gather from my years of research, aka reading of blogs, that naming people isn't necessarily safe. I do comment moderating so you won't see your comment up until the next day most likely.
*No promise on getting said order to you, just that you can leave your order here. =P
