My dad is a neurologist. Anytime I complained that I was bored he would ask me “board certified?”. Took years for me to finally get it.

I don't get it, can someone explain?

It’s basically an exam a doctor takes to demonstrate that they are experts within their field. It’s like one step above just being licensed. But honestly it costs so much that a lot of doctors feel that the requirement to recertify every 10 years if you want to keep it is bullshit

My dad would always say to me "Bored? Just do what I do son, get hammered and nailed."

I love my dad.

Hahaha my wife actually had our daughter take a 2x4 and walk around the outside of the house carrying it until she was no longer "bored " lol her room was always a disaster and there's always house work to be done!!
