Know What?

I would make a kick ass mad scientist!



No really, I would.

I came to this conclusion tonight at work. I have the perfect quirky, erratic personality for it. The kind that no one even pretends to attempt an explanation for. There tends to be alot of eye rolling and shoulder-shrugging involved...

I was working in the IV room tonight and when it got really busy and I was making all of my TPNs, PPNs and IVs, I was just in my own little world. Usually I have two physical speeds: slow and slower. Working in that IV room gets me going and I really find a groove; everything else just kind of falls away.


Although this is just a generic photo, it shows a bit of what I do. Of course we don't have the funds at our facility to have all those nifty little machines that measure everything out for you... we do it using our own calculations and accurate measuring. But that's fine by me! That's the fun of it! That's what makes me feel like I'd be a great mad scientist - the hands on work!

I get so drawn into it that I could just imagine myself being one of those types that gets way carried away; sort of bordering on scary. I suppose it's a good thing I don't have an Einstein-esque IQ then, eh? (Ok, for those of you that know me a little better... STOP laughing at that idea! I mean it!) Ah... but if I did...

Hey, do they have Mad Scientist schools?....

I can just imagine the crazy things you'd create as a mad scientist. :)

anne said...

Hey, I have a few ideas if you want.

Just remember that cackling maniacally and muttering, "Fools! I'll show them all!" is a crucial element of Mad Scientisthood.

Fence said...

Apart from the science parts, I think I;d be a pretty good mad scientist... would that just make me mad though?

justrose said...

you WOULD! make sure you perfect your "bwahahahahhahaaha!"

Page 1 of the "Mad Scientist's Handbook" states that you have to take over the world.
I have however heard that killing Dubya, Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez and Tom Cruise will serve the same purpose.
Oh and don't forget... any Mad Scientist needs a faithful side-kick. Can I volunteer?

broomhilda said...

Bwahahahahahaha!!!!
I want to play too!

Stacy The Peanut Queen said...

Alright, first you MUST practice and perfect the famous maniacal laugh....
"Muhahahahahahaha!!!"

Once you have that down, you can move on to the really diabolical stuff...;)

Jay said...

And you definitely need crazy hair.

LiVEwiRe said...

JohnH - It might get a little scary at times!

Anne - Yes, ideas - and lots of them!

Kyknoord - Oddly, that phrase just comes so easily to me...

Fence - lol... if so, then I might be in the same boat! But mad is fun. =)

Justrose - I've been practicing it in front of the mirror!!!

Chitty - You are my first choice for evil mad scientist sidekick. Now we need to get you a name... Let me get a nap first then we can begin our plan for world domination.

Broomhilda - You are definitely joining in the fun!

Stacy - Can't we just skip to diabolical... pleeeease? =)

Jay - I've been waiting for a job that permits crazy hair all my life.

Shirley said...

I would totally be on board for a Doctorate at the Mad Scientist School! I really want the bubbling tubes and flashy electrical stuff! And I think I'd be really good at revenge!

Muhahahahahaha!

Well I have a piece of paper that declares me officially mad (really) so I'm half way there.
Science is a problem though so if you need an Igor, I'm your guy, ugly with a scary laugh ;)

The Prisoner said...

i am famous for my evil laugh, so if you need any tip just give me a call. there's much more to it than just 'mwahahahahaha'.

so, how soon before you construct a death ray, or attempt to raise the dead, or summon up a demon? i want photos!

Terri said...

Does that mean you (and Chitty, of course) would be in direct competition to Pinky and the Brain? Ooh, they'd be your first target, wouldn't they?!
b.t.w. I'd be more than happy to supply subjects for your experiments... cos that's about all some of the people I work with are good for, hehe.

LiVEwiRe said...

Chicken Little - Nice to see you! Even nicer to have a study partner for Mad Scientist School - let's look into this.

John - There is a paper that says the same about me but they seem frightened to show it to me... We can practice scary laughs together! =)

Prisoner - You may be the one teaching said scary laugh! Oooohhh... I forgot about death rays...

Greg - Welcome! That would be a great way for it to all start; and Boris... definitely!

Terri - Chitty convinced me to keep Pinky & the Brain around for fun. I think he said something about jars... As far as your victims, uh, co-workers - feel free to herd them in, uh, bring them by for a tour aaanytime! =)

cool! when you start to genetically splice animals together to create something to unleash on the world, will you mix a rhino and a cat for me, so i can have an animal with a huge horn that weighs about one ton who jumps on my chest when i'm sleeping on the couch and dips his tail in my food?...

Jugular Bean said...

This reminds me of a Gary Larson cartoon featuring a poodle!

LiVEwiRe said...

Greg - That's a great compliment; thank you. I can't take much credit, it's just whatever nails me to the wall and tells me to write about it! =)

Mr. Decko - I've make one up fresh for you if you give me a few more ideas. Deal?

JBean - Oddly, I just started reading 'The Far Side Gallery 4'... quite fitting!
