Emergency ACLS

The emergency is that I am *gasp* OUT OF COFFEE. I'll let you in on a dirty little secret: I am also OUT OF INSTANT coffee. There you have it. Yes me, the coffee snob/purist/addict is out of the pure form (coffee beans) and the crack form (instant). Look, I have instant because I take instant backpacking... I can't muster up the energy to go buy coffee beans. I am beginning to HATE this time of year. It's been so damn cold out that the only traveling I want to do includes going to work (well, I don't want to go to work...), going to the gym, and getting back home. Argh!

ACLS: I recertified my ACLS today. I may have mentioned that after surviving a month in the CCU, that should qualify me as recertified for ACLS. (Advanced Cardiac Life Support). Well, as I got out of the Liberty this am, who did I see walking in to the class... My attending from the CCU! Who is such a great human being, that he made the first 2 weeks of CCU fun. (Fun?being in the CCU may not have really been fun, tolerable is probably a better term for it).

Me: "You teaching today?"
Him: "Nope, they are making us recertify."

Ok, this guy isn't just a cardiologist, he is an EP specialist-electrophysiologist.. when the heart doesn't conduct right, he fixes it.. Him taking ACLS is like an engineer playing with tinker toys...
