It’s official! I am an alienhead now. I’ve been dreaming to own one of these alienware PC’s for a very long time and finally took the plunge this holiday season. Pretty shortly, I will have a brand new Alienware M15x in my hands – that is if dell does not goof up… Oh wait! they just F*$%ing did 
My order was slated to be shipped yesterday and I was so excited when I got tracking number
And then I click on the tracking number… Lo and behold. This is what I get
I have no f@#&ing idea how my order, which was shipped on Dec 5 2009 to Illinois, was delivered to Newyork on Apr 23 2009. It’s either a big nutjob by the dell shipping guys or Dell and FedEx have discovered time travel. The future is here! 
. (Apparently they still need to figure out the exact co-ordinates while time traveling)
Now I’m stuck for the last 45 minutes (on hold) on the phone to sort this matter out. 
Fill in whatever you feel like.. An idle mind is…
- Devil’s Workshop
- Full of S@#t
- Best time to doze off… and the list goes on
What do you do when the country’s largest Electronic medical records system crashes upon you? You pass your time by blogging about it in a very non-descript manner. Hey we’re not supposed to talk about “secret” stuff as per HIPAA. Just shows how we’ve become so dependent upon computers for health care. There are 2 discharges pending for me, 1 pending admission and need to put in tons of orders. The funny thing is that nursing staff could not even find paper forms to order stat labs. Am I the only person who sees humor in this situation?
BTW sorry for the very large intervals b/w posts. Being an intern is taking its toll. I’m trying to get a new phone for mobile blogging but so far only the iPhone has a native wordpress app and I’m not too inclined on buying it since it does not support multitasking. My search continues
In a busy life of a resident, some things take predominance over the rest. Personal hygiene, unfortunately, took a back seat for me during the last weekend. I’ve not been writing for a while now because life’s been cruel (mostly busy though). Between my post where I shout with excitement for matching to present day – where I’m spending the nights in the hospital (yes – my first rotation is a night float), a lot has gone by. Briefly and in chronological order they are
- I wrote my Step 3 exam
- Gave one final performance in the Philly/Delaware region
- Went home to India (more details to follow – if I ever get the time)
- Met with Smiti’s parents and talked about potential engagement/marriage plans
- pass Step 3 (yay! Sorry, no videos this time. It was 2 AM Indian time when I got the results)
- Returned back to philly
- Packed up and left (hardest thing to do) for champaign, IL
- Champaign sucks!!!! – well its a nice place but coming from philly, this place is a dab. Nothing going on for most part of the summer.
- Attended orientation for residency, got my H1 visa approved and started residency… ooh and also bought a car (I now declare myself – transport independent)
- Started residency with night float.
