A medical professional from North Carolina writes about a pediatric patient experience as he shares thoughts about his upcoming DC stay.
…as I continue to semi-actively look at potential residency locations, outside of the nearly impossible to get San Francisco Bay area, there really is no other city that interests me. Washington, DC's proximal location to home, the presence of family and friends, the highly educated and culturally sophisticated population, and mild weather are all attractive. However, DC is simply not a hospital city.
The Senator’s U Street birthday bash
Damsel in DC
Crazy Miss J runs into Sen. Barack Obama’s birthday party at a
U Street restaurant but it makes her a little self-conscious about what she is wearing. I was a little embarassed because my shirt was bearing far too much … However, I was dressed as a hoochie mama because a friend and I were on the quest for the perfect Hershey Kiss…Check please
Actually …
Most of this post is a positive review of Café Atlantico in Penn Quarter. But the review closes with a point that (I would strongly agree) applies to many restaurants in this city.
No matter how good the food, or the service during the meal, my experience in DC is that many times, you are left to wait for the check or for the server to take payment. I also wonder if these servers don't realize that this is the last impression that the customer has and the moment when they are deciding how much to tip. After an excellentmeal, its frustrating to be held captive while trying to get someone to take your money.
Sniping Ebay
Errant Apostrophes
Our writer needs a “cheap version of an ethics textbook” and goes shopping on Ebay, but is out-sniped. Is sniping ethical?
..."sniping" is considered by some to be unethical. This makes no sense to me. If you are at a real world auction, there is nothing to stop you from bidding in the last minutes, is there? I don't see how sniping is any different. In fact, sounds like sour grapes to me. I really wanted that textbook and I'm disappointed that I didn't get it, but someone bid more than I did and that's that. I'll be keeping my eyes out for another auction, and if one should be posted, I'll bid on that one, too. Otherwise, I'll head to the bookstore and pay full price for the new text. There's no constitutional right to win an eBay auction, after all.Also Noted
