I don't want to look at my books any more.
It's amazing how long information can take to penetrate my brain. I put the date and time for the talk about job perspectives, insurances, taxes and professional organizations on our site on Friday - and only today do I realize that it's this Wednesday.
As boring as the subject sounds, as it's probably useful to know should I ever want to get a JobTM I think I'll go, so![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kriski, sputnikkid should you go swimming on Wednesday and I'm not there - that'll be because I've died of boredom (or someone wouldn't stop talking - I'm not sure which is more likely).
Random observations from the congress this weekend:
Also: Is it really necessary to pronounce the whole Prof. Dr. vet. med. Dr. rer. nat. Dr. h.c., when talking about a dead man? Especially if he didn't even insist on it while he was alive?

Something tells me the guy from the Danish ministry didn't originally intend his talk about antimicrobial growth promoters, the Danish pork and broiler production and their surveillance programs for a German audience. Just a feeling I have, the first slide explaining the size and location of Denmark, may have something to do with it.
Not to belittle the achievement, but: PD DVM PhD Dipl. ECEIM Smith. Say what?Also: Is it really necessary to pronounce the whole Prof. Dr. vet. med. Dr. rer. nat. Dr. h.c., when talking about a dead man? Especially if he didn't even insist on it while he was alive?
no subject
Okay... PD = Privatdozent?
PhD = Doktor
Dipl.= Diplom
Smith = Surname
So, what's with the rest?
no subject
Doktor Vet. Med. (der amerikanische Abschluß)
PhD (Informationen die die Welt nicht braucht: Bei Berufungsverfahren, wird der PhD meistens einer Habil. gleichgesetzt)
Diplomate of the European College of Equine Internal Medicine
Zumindest waren bei der Veranstaltung nur Leute von diesem College oder dem amerikanischen Equivalent da. Wenn die ganzen anderen Colleges noch dazukommen wird es wirklich gruselig (ECAR, ECVA, ECVDI, ECVIM-CA, ECVN, ECVO, ECVS und noch etwa 20 mehr) *g*
Da kommt man sich als kleiner Student ganz klein mit Hut vor :)
