Classmate: I can’t believe I got a schizophrenia case! That’s so hard! People living with schizophrenia are cr*zy and shouldn’t live alone!

Me: Uh huh… they tried to diagnose me with schizophrenia in 2023 so…. 🙃

*hypothetical. This has only happened maybe 5 times in my life, though many more times with just one quartet! Living in Montreal was the best 🥰

"What kinds of things do you like to do with your friends?"

I like to get 8 of us together in one living room, 4 violins, 2 violas, 2 cellos, and play through the Mendelssohn octet while drinking beverages of choice.

Perfect gathering 👌

Beef, salt, *and bourbon!

I love when people receive the consequences of their actions they are typically shielded from!

Our next election is going to go to the Cons unless we get our acts together! We need to start making things illegal.. like being an MP without security clearance!

I have so many reasons I want to be an OT, but one of them is legitimately: "I want to have a profession where I can afford a house working full-time so I can have TWO elderly cats and a catio."

Unrelated, but I just discovered today the Vivaldi Concerto for 4 Violins is actually “Concerto for 4 Violins AND CELLO” and the cello actually has a pretty big part 😂 Don’t know how many times I’ve played it where the poor cellist has been neglected!

Even in university in 2014 they tried pulling off a “PDFs only, if you want a physical copy you have to print it off yourself”. I protested and as student librarian I blew through the funds printing music for everyone.

Does it save on purchasing costs for the school though?

Do you mean sheet music? I’m very much a “paper please” (as opposed to iPad) person, so I’d say no it doesn’t make sense!

Me: do you need to verify my health card for me to get my shots?

Pharmacy: nah, not many people are trying to impersonate others to get shots!

But remember in 2021 when those people went up to the North to try to steal an early Covid shot from Indigenous populations?

He’s such a dangerous weasel.

Yikes. The fact that he thinks he deserves where he is…. I would like to restore merit so he goes and disappears into a rat hole and deserving immigrants take his spot!

My pharmacy had a sign that said “ask us about Covid shots!” But I only knew because I went in to pick up a prescription. Otherwise I would’ve assumed it was still the stupid text messaging system!

Aww that’s adorable!! Now I’m mad the version I played did not have a panda

The stupid ones who believe either in lies, trickle down economics, or that the privatization of care is the way to go 😮‍💨

Or, many doctors who think they’ll make more under Conservatives.

It’s my ulnar nerve, so it would affect my best vibrato finger if it gets worse!

Macau. I’ll usually say Hong Kong because that’s the most recent, but the reason I don’t look Chinese is because my grandfather was Macanese!

How long would you endure (painless) nerve damage before you went to see a doctor?

Should I go sooner since it’s in my violin hand?

Last night I went to Thanksgiving dinner at a classmate’s house and her parents’ friends were there as well and we got to talk about Die Zauberflote!! Best opera ever ♥️

Absolutely. Also, knowing that the people you text are constantly on their phones texting with other people, but somehow take 3-4 weeks to get back to you if they do.

I don’t think it can be called RSD when it’s just flat out rejection.
