I think Deadwood is more fun than Vegas is. Better feel for the game.

DAMMIT!!! Were you the one that placed that consult?! You know which one. The one I got today on a vaginal dischage. Patient sedated in the ICU in 4pt restraints.... and they want me to do a PELVIC?! If you were the one that placed that, I'm gonna kick your ass! (seriously though... did get that consult today!)

I truly wanted to... but was worried that the same thing would happen then too.

JP, You had/have many friends. I hope you're in a place now where you can see how important and loved you are. Happy Birthday

I love Cara. She's so sweet!! (ps. fixed it for you)

What does that mean? Google is your friend. Yes that's what I thought 'LowJack' was, but I thought there must be another definition because I don't see how that would help the tech find her house? Cuz he didn't know where he was, and they didn't know where he was, so I couldn't give directions from where he was... just could tell him some major landmarks and say "get there, then these directions apply"

What does that mean? Google is your friend. Oops. I spelled it wrong. Lojack is a "security device" for a vehicle that allows you to know where it is. (Any tracking mechanism, OnStar could be a form of lojacking...) jusst something that allows those "in charge" to know where the fleet is when they get "lost" and can't find their ass with two hands and a flashlight. (cuz they don't have a road map, or a GPS or a f*'n clue as to how to get where they're supposed to be.)

So, two weeks ago, I was told by THE WATER COMPANY that we needed a new meter so that it can be read remotely from/via the internet. Concerns - this is a new house (relatively), shouldn't it have been anticipated and planned for when the house was built and the water meters were placed at that time. Anyway, set up the appointment for this morning. Told "we will have a service agent out between 8am-12 (noon)" (which amazes me that the water company, electrical types, cable guys, ect get away with such "scheduling") But anyway, I explained that I would like a tighter window (cuz I had a patient getting a referral visit with a different doc at 9:15 and I wanted to see her following that visit) So she said that I would be one of the first on the list and it would be between 8am and 10am. GREAT! Thank you so much. I greatly appreciate that effort.... This morning. First call from them at 9:45. "Drivers lost." I reply "where is he?" Get some random crossroads, ask where in relation to REAL landmarks (ie I29 or other highways... he doesn't know). Give directions from where I think he might be. Wait 45min. Get a call again, "he lost again." "Where is he?" more random crossroads. Give the directions from well known landmarks (AT MCDONALDS ... turn right and drive SOUTH... two stopsigns. Nothing odd like "where the old barn usta be") No contact for another hour. I call the water company - hold for 10min. The meter stuff is contracted out, they give me the number to call to talk to the service call peoples. I call them. Guess what? The guy is lost. "Here's what we're going to do. Have him go to the McDonalds on I29 and 64th. WAIT THERE." So I go and get them and convoy back to the house. For a 10minute change to the water meter!!! Questions: 1. Why didn't the guy have directions before he left for the job? 2. Why didn't he have a GPS? 3. Why wasn't his vehicle lowjacked? (it was a city water vehicle, not a personal one) 4. Road Map? He left just after noon. (and I had to reschedule my patient)

There are so many factors in that variable. Depends on the guy (creepy in a stained thin white wife-beater shirt with 4day stubble/beard and offering candy v. relatively "safe" looking and sincere comments). Depends on what he says to "chat me up" ("Hey girl, want some candy" v. "wow... is it hot lately"). Depends on my mood and psyche at the time (this weekend after being told that I was cold and uncaring, it might have been nice to have someone trying to actually know me before placing judgement). Depends on where (WORST place - had someone try to pick me up while I was working in an STD clinic!!!! He was there for treatment!!!). Depends on time of day (3am at the gas stations.... leave it alone). Lots of factors.....

Naked jump to celebrate that you're FREE!!! And maybe the intentional cut-away with all the precautions necessary.

Happy Birthday! I hope it was a wonderful day!

[shakes head]so wrong.... so wrong.....

My Reference is "The Oxford English Dictionary" PAH!!! Who reads that old thing? It has more dust on it than Andy's pecker.

Congratulations.

I quoted Merriam-Webster as a reference... your reference is Andy?

Now thats a fair dinkum

realized has a "zed" they don't use real monkeys in the Chunky Monkey Ice Cream

I love hugs.... (and Elsinore is a great place to get them.... but then again so is Florida and NC and.....)

I'm on call today. "Coverage" doesn't start until 9am.... but pager went off twice already ... and it's not even 7am.

I've seen some ... interesting choices. This was the most interesting.

Not finding the spinal joint reference... nope not a posterior facet joints nor an intervertebral disk joint

I am a catachresis. Wrong word for the context? a mixed metaphor
