New Resident Skillz

Whenever we'd get a new resident come in mid-year in my program (happened a lot), everyone would want the low down. Usually we'd hear some gossip about the resident, but it was hard to know what to make of it sometimes:

Me: "So what's the new resident like?"

Co-resident: "He's supposed to be really good."

Me: "Good in what way?"

Co-resident: "I don't know. Just good."

Me: "Good at taking tests?"

Co-resident: "I don't know."

Me: "Good at shafting his work onto others? Good at leaving early?"

Co-resident: "I don't know. I just heard that he was good."

Me: "Good at picking up chicks??"

Co-resident: "Haha... maybe. I don't know."

Me: "Because we've already got like five residents who are really good at that and we don't need another."
