Two Days... Till Friday

This week has been some what of a usual week with some unusual happenings. Funny things I would say. Maybe you will agree after I tell you of my last two days of pure insanity....by the way the definition of insanity, is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different conclusion. Hmmm? Questionable to say the least....I would definitely say that my last two days would very much be the definition of insanity.



                                              Wednesday:
Got to work at 8:00 in the morning...pretty normal morning...normal patients calling the office complaining that they need to see a doctor immediately...there eye is falling out. "Oh my! Well how long has this been going on?, I ask. "Oh it has been feeling this way for about a month...I absolutely must see the eye doctor today!" Ugh...try to figure out where to fit them in...they are insistent.

10:00 or so: "Ummm I don't know whats going on around this office, but someone got extremely aggressive with the scales in the bathroom...I think they might be really, really messed up...oh and by the way I just wanted everyone to know that I have lost 20 pounds I now weigh 129lbs!" I announce. Deb looks at me and says, "Really, the scales...ummm that would have been me. I was just walking into the bathroom when suddenly yesterday I tripped over the scales and barely caught myself on the doctors "pumping" chair. (we have a doctor nursing her baby..so has a make shift pumping station in the bathroom) the scale went flying into the air and fell across the restroom. Yeah...I thought it might have been broken when I weighed in 30lbs lighter than my normal weight." she says. So our scales are now retired...they probably deserved it anyways.

Noon:
I eat an Italian salad at a local pizza restaurant with my co-worker Deb. Ahhhh....some relaxation and time away from the ever-ringing telephone...this is good.

After the toll rings...quitting time 5:00:
I head to my local doctors office to check out some blood results from blood that was drawn last week. So I went the week before with the tip of my big toe on my right foot numb. I was linking that to a possible vitamin B12 deficiency...so hence the blood work up...oh and check the cholesterol and the other stuff while you are at it...oh and also lets get my yearly pap smear done too! Ugh.....off to the doctor after a long day at the office. Health care facility I leave, here I come....health care facility...yeah!! I approach the front desk, and what (I mean who)  do I see? The very mean and angry (possibly bitter) receptionist that came into my office only 2 days prior. She was so mean to me at my office. Even when I took her back to the doctors room, she scowled at me. Her coat came off....she looks at my with "airs" because she has her health facilities names on her work blouse. She stares at me with a challenging look and I promptly leave the room and take her chart back to the doctor and warn her that she has "a real peach" in room 7. I decide to go in for the kill...I will kill her with kindness...(she has camera's watching her and boy does that make all the difference in someone's attitude!) I look at her a moment while she was typing my info into the computer...she has a natural frown...almost "alien" like frown...very upturned mouth...pinched. Her mouth has been so pinched and frowned, it has tiny lines all the way around her mouth from doing so.  "Hey...how are you? How was your eye exam the other day...you know I work at the eye doctors?" She squirms..."Oh yes...thankyou for asking...everything was fine." "Oh that is really great! Nice to see you again." I say. "Yes you too!" she replies. I know she really doesn't mean it, but the camera made her be nice to me...and that made me smile :)

 Nurse checks blood pressure, asks questions and directs me to put on the hospital gown with the opening towards the front. Well I am no rocket scientist, but this gown looks like an extra, extra small and the 2 measly ties didn't quite pull any material to cover me up with, at all. So doctor come in, she looks at me...I have the top tied in a bow at the front of my neck and it looks as if I am self-strangling myself with the darn thing. The other tie was in the bosom area...and lets just say I pulled it together as tightly as possible, but it still was gaping open like the Grand Canyon. I mean really.....couldn't they just give me a gown that didn't look like it could fit Kate Moss! I mean I am not severely obese or anything... it was extremely flattering, but really of all times! Doc comes in and informs me my blood work was no where to be found...what? Ugh...that's why I made the appointment to begin with...to check my B12 levels! I do remind the doc to not talk smack about me when I leave...because my gown looked so ridiculous..I told her that I thought the nurse was trying to set me up...she laughed...I wondered?? Well we finished and in comes the nurse with my Tetanus shot..."hmmm...that's not so bad."

Thursday:
Get to work at 8:00 am...looking like its going to be a good day. One doctor, not too busy...cup of coffee taste pretty good...well if Leann isn't making it ;) (She knows a spoon will stand up to attention in her pot of coffee!) We have some laughs...get some drawers cleaned out..find a contact users guide that will come in handy...refill empty things around the office..etc.

11:00: Okay I am sooo hungry and soooo tired that I feel like I am going to pass out...can't wait for my lunch. Oh did I mention my arm feels like someone just punched it!

11:30: Go to lunch at McDonalds....I hate their chicken strips. Disappointed...because I am so hungry...oh and my arm feels like someone punched me!

12:30: Return to office return to insanity...busy, busy, busy.

2:00: Call from the local jail...jailer says " We have a guy that has a pretty bad red eye...he needs to see the doc." I say, "Ok bring him on and we will work him in." I talk to the doc..she informs me of the "procedure". "He'll come in the back escorted by armed guards...put the patient in the room with the armed guards and leave the door open....really? I'm pretty nervous about this :( Leann tells me that I don't need to mess with it...let her because I always do something ridiculous...like say something that stands out for months. Yep that's me.

3:30: Office is slowing down a bit, we enjoy  Sonic drinks for happy hour, courtesy of one of our doctors who is on a cruise at the given moment. We have our umbrellas and our Sonic slushies, malts and cherry limeades. Pretty close to a cruise...right?


4:00: No patients out front and only one in the back putting in a contact lens. Right? The coast is clear...oh I see the full length mirror out front in our frame room...and of course I decide to look at myself...looking at my rear end in the mirror..."hmmm...does these slacks make me look like I have a big butt?" I think to myself..."What if I stand like so...would they still make me look so fat?" Five minutes of this went by....when I get the feeling that someone is watching me....ever get that feeling? I looked out of our very, very big open windows and there is a man in his car staring at me! Oh good grief...I am so embarrassed!

6:00: Time to go to the store to buy some "quick" food to put into the stove.

6:30: Time to go home...so tired oh...and my arm is aching so bad, it almost makes me nauseous.

11:00: Time for bed...ibuprofen for my aching arm... I am so looking forward to sleep....and tomorrow is Friday :) Now that wasn't so bad..right?
