“In case of fire, do not use elevator.” Every time I see one of those signs, I think, “What are the chances that I get stuck in a burning building.” I hope that never happens; however, I was thinking about life and the phrase took on a new meaning. Since I moved for residency, I…
Hands Up!
I was stopped for a speeding ticket this morning on the way to work. As soon as I saw those flashing blue lights I thought to myself “Dang, now I’m going to be late.” I woke up late yesterday so I definitely didn’t want to be late today. By the time I pulled to the…
