I love what I do. I've done it since 1979 or 1980 (as part of other jobs) and have been full time at it since 1982. Many times, I've juggled several jobs at once.

Now, I'm not sayin' I ain't old and tard. I am that. And I am lazy. I do operative notes ONLY because - while I love the work - I am in it for the MONEY. Operative notes pay me better than clinic notes or the rest of The Big Four. Not many new drugs to keep up with. No new parts -- Parts Is Parts. They've been making human bodies the same way for a LONG time and at this stage of the game, I think I've typed all the parts.
