useful tip #628

even if a coworker want to discuss - incessantly, all…..day…..long - the annoyingly excruciating details of her sick 2-year-old’s coughs, body temperature, phlegm and temper tantrums, it’s probably not a good idea to ask if she’s sure the kid doesn’t have SARS.

life is pretty boring right now, which explains the lack of recent updates.

i’m also a lazy ass.

in the meantime, bert is evil.

so, last friday we were forced to attend a full-day, mind blowingly dull seminar held by the office of protocol research & quality assurance. nine straight hours of mini-lectures on the history of research, informed consents, source documentation, audits, and what to do if the FDA comes a-knockin’ on our doors. yeah. it was an exercise in maintaining consciousness.

anyways, one nice thing about boring lectures is the opportunity for doodles. some of my favorite doodles were borne out of sheer boredom during classes like quantitative research methods, biostatistics, greek mythology, and western european history. inorganic chemistry was definitely a doodle class - not only because i was bored, but because i had no fucking idea what was going on. needless to say, i did very poorly in that class. yeah, not very model minority of me.

ennyhoo, here are some of my doodles.

we’re about to pilot a project targeting female ex-smokers who’ve given birth within the last 180 days. it’s just as exciting as it sounds. the project is called PROJECT MOM, so i played around with some logo ideas.

doesn’t that second doodle look like the woman’s holding a fetus? it’s kinda creepy.

thinking about babies inspired this:

i think these pictures offended a few of my coworkers, including AnnoyingGirl and LoudCubicleNeighbor, since they’ve got little kids themselves. i don’t hate babies. i think alot of them are very soft and cute, and they usually smell good. so, i drew this to make up for it.

this face was supposed to look mean and scary, but it just looks like the dad from Everybody Loves Raymond.

well, there it is. a day in the life of a state employee. and for all you texas residents - this is where your tax money is going.
