So appreciated

7:01am

Dr. S: Why is [other resident] not here yet?
Me: She's across the street at Starbucks, it was her birthday yesterday, she's probably a little tired.
Dr. S: She didn't mention her birthday yesterday. Why didn't she mention that to me??
Me: [pause] . . . . .
Umm, sir, she wasn't here yesterday. It was her day off.
Dr. S: Oh. I never really notice if my interns are here or not unless I end up
having to do extra work.
