For example, don't say I'm "arguing against my own raise" when I never received a raise, nor asked or demanded for one. Care to try again?

Have you considered asking for a pay cut? You did admit you're under qualified. Consider it.

I admit I'm under-qualified on paper.

I believe I'm overqualified in terms of competence and ability.

And, in fact I actually did take a (voluntary) pay cut to the tune of about $5,000 in order to allow for extra money to be funneled directly towards patient care. That $5,000 was (originally) specifically allotted for my salary.

Now, if I really wanted to brag or believed that I was some pinnacle of moral enlightenment, don't you think that might have been the first thing I said? You should probably be feeling like a dumbass right about now.

I'm a very humble person and I don't like to brag about my skills, sacrifices, or accomplishments. But, when you challenge my skills, my accomplishments, my intelligence, my conduct, or my professionalism in my field of work, I will illuminate your ignorance so you can see it a bit more clearly.

Hmm.

I'm just not getting a hint of those illuminations here in this thread. Perhaps they are dimmer than you think?
