I found out last week that I made partner in my medical group.

So now I am an owner in the largest medical group practice in the United States.

Now my career is completely secure, I can focus more on mapping and gaming.

It feels great because no one person can fire me anymore.

I can pretty much do anything I want (nothing illegal, of course).

Sounds good. What does this allow you to do? Do you get to fire idiots?
Commented 14 years ago2010-03-30 01:45:31 UTC Comment #47790
But you can still get fired if you just... stop going, right?
It's essentially being tenured, yes? Or is it better?

So, do you still work as a doctor, or are you now one of those people that basically doesn't have to do anything for the rest of their lives?

Cool. Hope to see some good maps soon. :)

Ah Satchmo. More time to use MP maps and turn them into SP :D

"It's essentially being tenured, yes? Or is it better?"
It's the non-academic equivalent of being tenured. I still have to work as a doctor, but job security is pretty much guaranteed unless I do something egregious.

"Ah Satchmo. More time to use MP maps and turn them into SP :D"
Actually, if you look at my latest project, I just converted a SP map into a MP one. I can go both ways.
Valve has done it with their maps (dm_lockdown is a conversion of the Nova Prospekt levels in HL2, and dm_overwatch is a conversion of the Follow Freeman chapter).

Fair enough. Then ignore my comment on your map that I wrote before reading this.

No worries. I take no offense.
In fact, I am on vacation right now, visiting my in-laws. We just did my sister-in-law's baby shower two days ago.
