I was sitting in my office the other day (okay, not really my office but the office they let me occupy by myself three days a week for this month), and I was reading ‘Calvin and Hobbes’ (obviously not my office but someone else’s who just happened to have had said book on their bookshelf). Maybe it was the setting. Maybe it was the extreme boredom (ah, the rough life of a psychiatry resident). Maybe it is just that I overthink things (see above statement about being a psychiatry resident). But I thought there was some profound wisdom contained within that tome. So I thought I would share the below direct quotes (the last one is a little paraphrased) from ‘Calvin and Hobbes’, all credit to Mr. Bill Watterson.
