The R.O.S.E.Y. System

Here at HTD3Y, we'd like to do more than entertain and occasionally disgust our readers. We'd like to contribute to the future classes who are considering 3rd year project. To give back, so to speak.

In keeping with this ethos, I'd like to introduce the R.O.S.E.Y. System for excellence in all things 3rd year. At least things that don't involve a wad of 100s and some magnums.

R - Radiology department. Duh. It's like God's gift to lazy 3rd years.

O - Opportunities for plentiful golf outings. This is a serious career move. No one respects a three-putter. They just don't. I would know.

S - Supervision? Why bother? Should be optional at best. Btw, nice try Sherry Burton. I refuse to turn that clinic paperwork.

E - Excellence. Just because, dammit.

Y - Yak semen. Look, i dont want to get too graphic, but its the key to all his success.

Thanksgiving Break

Well, it's that time of year again. Time to celebrate pumpkin pie, turducken, and morbid obesity. Is there anything better? Methinks not.

Time for good ol' Brick to head back to sunny Whale's Vagina, and maybe if I'm lucky I'll poop a squirrel. If you're in town, feel free to come by my pants party. But seriously, it'll be great to get away from the grind. Sometimes dominating third year really takes its toll.

As for the rest of the crew here, there will be plenty of time for them to relax and put in some quality rounds of golf. Those handicaps aren't gonna lower themselves, ladies.

Anyone out there really dominating Thanksgiving? Feel free to comment and let us know. We do still have 1 spot open....

the new guy

this monday we kicked off the recruiting process for the powerful 5 spot of the Office. being that it was a monday, we naturally scheduled the meeting for the golf course. below are a few of the highlights



pro:
1. he drove us to the course. power move.
2. he's a righty. we've havent had great luck in the past with south paws.
3. solid, but not phenomenal golfer. nobody likes a show off.
4. previous blog experience. http://iflippedmylid.blogspot.com/ (note the absence of recipes from the posts)
5. all talk radio, all the time. pretty self explanatory.

con:
1. the hot dogs. we shouldn't blame this on him, but we will.

Restructuring

Even when dominating, streamlining is important.  We've made some changes, but don't expect them to stop.  There's a lot of chatter going on in the message boards about changes to come in the future.  Everyone's livelihood may be on the line.

Dropping the Dead Weight

There's not much to say other than sometimes it's time to move on.

Back in the day, when this glorious blog was just a twinkle in our collective eyes, We decided to take in a certain associate even though he had already successfully run one third year blog into the ground. We're generous guys, what can we say. But it's become clear that his attitude towards allowing posts about cake recipes was really just a sign that he isn't ready for the big leagues yet. We have standards here, standards that cannot be measured in number of YouTube clips posted or pumpkin latte reviews.

A great burden has been lifted. Let us move forward in the name of Domination!

The Durham Inquisition

Like most things in life, if you leave something be, it will get messy. For example, a room will become dirty with clothes or a desk will become dusty given enough time. The same can be said about a blog and its bloggers. Sometimes, you just need to clean up house. This is one of those times. Suffice it to say, Our Fearless Leader has cleaned up what was previously a mess of blog posts: daily, without substance, and downright tedious. Hardly dominating, to say the least. The source of the problem has been nipped in the bud. Now that the situation has been rectified, domination can begin again. Re-domination, if you will.

there once was a dream that was third year

There once was a dream that was third year, and from it was born the Office. Evaluations? A thing of the past. Grades? Not as far as I can see. Hard work? Definitely not. The dream, I thought, also involved the complete dissolution of daily tasks. Blog posts came and went like Stinson. Maybe one post one day, 5 posts the next day, then nothing for days on end. These days of silence eased my mind, as I knew my fellow bloggers were off dominating third year. Things were going well...for a while.

Suddenly posting became a chore. No one really knows what, or who, happened, but things got ugly. One office member told me how he almost put up a blank post, just to bring the beloved hit counter back into view. Well my friends, the days of yore are back thanks to our Fearless Leader.

No pictures, no videos, no bullshit. Well, maybe some pictures, but only good ones. Say what you will about the office, at least its an ethos.

FREEDOM!

The people have spoken: "No more posts! No more posts!"

You are now free from the oppression of the jockey.

Late Night Hilarity

Good evening readers,

A couple important updates on this lovely Thursday:

1-These kids are dominating science fairs. They offer us all a lesson in how to dominate poster days. Take note for AOA day next summer:

2-Thanks to Friend of The Office MC for finding this...

The Reign of Terror is Over

I'd first like to thank you all for still coming to the blog even though the majority of recent posts have been from the ole scalpel jockey. You're all heroes in my eyes. Today was exciting in the office, we had 4 of 5 members show up to conduct a brutally efficient business meeting. This included dining at the new oasis in the Duke South desert: Chick-fil-a Express. And god bless them, the express part is the real deal. They move like the winds of a gale-force storm.

And I made this 2 line little diddy to commemorate tropical storm Ida passing through Durham:

"The weather outside is frightful, but the Office is so delightful!
And since we've got no place to go, we're dominating 3rd year don't you know, don't you know, don't you know!"

N.B.: Dressing as a stoplight is infinitely better than dressing as a porn star.

Decisions Decisions

Friends,

Lots of options for today's post.

I could take the low road and fuss at my Office colleagues for their waning momentum both in terms of showing up to work and posting anything to the blog. But I don't want to do that.

I could take the self-serving road and brag about my newfound achievements in swimming, biking, and running after this weekend. But that's not really my style.

I could take the Full House angle and get all sentimental about how fun the weekend was. But this ain't Nickelodeon.

Instead, I'm gonna ask that we all look forward instead of back. Because tonight is the start of the IM soccer playoffs. And for those looking for some last minute defensive strategies, this lady has some suggestions--

We're On The Google!

Hi boys and girls,

Two quick updates. First, the big news today is that if you google the term 'how to dominate third year blog', WE are hit #1. That's #1 out of 1,410,000! If that doesn't say you've made it on the internets, I don't know what does. But in order to maintain our dominance, I'd like you all to go to the #2 site "Liberty Hill Panther's Dominate -- Sherrilh's Blog" and leave a comment insisting that the author take the site down because it is somehow offensive to you.
Second, in order to prime you for the upcoming college basketball season, please watch this instructional video.



At the very least, it will help you understand why I'm going to yell the phrase "He Looks...He shoots....and He sccoooores" every single time I touch the rock in IM's this year.

You Mean Shenanigans?

Big weekend around the Office. So big, in fact, that it took us until Wednesday to recuperate enough to post about it. It was of course Halloween, and 4/5 of the Office crew were out in force. The fifth shall remain unnamed, but should hang his head about his absence.

Highlights included:
-someone bargaining with a police officer to carry a bag of Franzia with them onto Franklin St because it was 'part of the costume'.
-37 Mario/Luigi couples.
-I met Usain Bolt.
-We saw Hermione Granger....the real Hermione Granger.

Lowlights:
-someone dressed as a stoplight.
