Wow, thanks for thinking of me! That is so sweet!

Thanks, Dave! Seems like a test like always pops up to make you give it one last thought…

I’ll check it out!

It sure was. I still have moments of insecurity about the whole thing, but I doubt I’ll ever second-guess that decision. Thanks, mj.

Thanks, Dan!

Bahaha! Rick, your comments kill me. Don’t stop. I might need you to write a guest post 😉 I had no idea that the GPs actually are lame enough to ask how their work is! It never crossed my mind to do that– maybe deep down I was always too scared to face the truth . :O Even if it did cross my mind, I would be way too embarrassed to ask that. Now, I might ask if the periodontist can tell how shitty someone else’s work is… *snicker*

One of my old bosses used to always say that if I talked to my dental school friends about work and they brag about how great they are doing, they’re always lying. I found out he was right. Must be that “fake doctor” complex. What is with the need to show off and prove. I had another boss who is ancient, and he’s the old guy you describe. Has no life. Used to go into the office on weekends and work late at night– we’re talking ’til 3 am. Some of these guys don’t even know how to have a conversation about anything other than dentistry. I agree– the mentality has changed. I like to say that the younger generations are looking for more balance in their lives.

Yep… that’s what kept me stuck for so long. Nowhere to go.
