Pathological Humour: Mi Jokes de Pathology, 🤣

1.  Why did the former-pathologist do so well in their new role as a project manager?

Because their expertise in focus-drift enabled them to minimize any and all scope creep...


2.  Why do pathologists only make their shakes with fresh fruit?

Because the last thing they want to do when not at work, is head to the frozen section...

Life and Duty

There's a passage I've come across recently (roughly sourced from the Talmud?),

Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.

which I'd re-interpret to,

Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief; you are not obligated to complete the work. But, neither are you free to abandon it. Act with justice. Love with mercy. Walk with humility.

because:

• not everything can be done right away (or overnight), even attitude/approach (sometimes it's what takes the longest). Patience is truly a virtue. So now is optional.
• the original, while good, reads like statement(Do not...)-command(Do..Do..Do...)-statement(You...).  Or practice, then theory.  I find it more engaging the other way around.  To each their own.

Counterbalances for Spice

There have been a few restaurants in my neighbourhood where their consistency with their amount of hot spices is a little lacking.  So I've been discovering common food items that have helped with mellowing out dishes before it's too late.  Here's the running list:

1. Milk product: yogurt, ice cream, cow milk (nut/soy "milk" should be called juice)
2. Walnuts

Squeeky Lazy Suzans

Nono, all the Suzans I know are very pro-active and never complains.  I'm talking about the kitchen corner cabinetry that I've had since the reno that have developed a really bad squeeling upon rotation.  To the point where the plastic that's rubbing against the stainless steel column is being sharded off.

Easy solution.  After cleaning/vaccuuming away all the plastic shavings and such, run a bit of petroleum jelly (vaseline) on the rod where the plastic rotates.  That's it.  C'est fini!  Now the shelf spins like it's the Price-is-Right wheel.

Stationary Centre

I learned a trick not too long ago, where end-of-life kleenex boxes and paper rolls can be re-fashioned into a makeshift pencil holder.

Extending that concept a bit, made an entire station of them.

Four tissue boxes worth!
