It's Official

I resigned my position as an Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology at Milton S. Hershey Medical Center today. The resignation is effective March 21, 2003. It's been nearly seven years since completing my residency in anesthesiology and I'm looking forward to entering private practice in the Harrisburg area.

Flaming bag of poop

Does anyone know if it's illegal to send animal excrement via the United Parcel Service? (for research purposes, of course)

From the Jargon File

My boss likes the term 'Deliverable'. It's a buzz word (like many of the words he uses). Can't find it in any online dictionary, though. I think I have one I like better: 'Payload'. That term implies a product which will have an impact, as in blast zone. 

From WordNet (r) 1.7:
payload


     n 1: the part of a missile or torpedo that carries the explosive


          charge [syn: warhead, load]


     2: goods carried by a large vehicle [syn: cargo, lading, freight,


         load, loading, shipment, consignment]

The shortest and surest way to live with honour in the world, is to be in reality what we would appear to be; and if we observe, we shall find, that all human virtues increase and strengthen themselves by the practice of them. --Socrates
