Anger Management

I'm had to clean my sink. It was clogged. Disgusting, rubbish business if you ask me. NOT FUN!

I've also had problems, though nowhere near as bad, with my doctor. For private reasons, I have to have regular specialist visits. They give me an appointment and it's the wrong date. in some places, this would be no problem. However, since it's the wrong date-- and I don't show up, it takes 3-6 months to get another appointment.

That's healthcare for you in Canada. It sucks.

Update to the Dr. fiasco - I called then drove over to th Imaging Lab and got a free copy of the lab report. The last two lines were the best:

“No rotator cuff tear of the shoulder. Mild tendinosis of the rotator cuff.”

I’d much rather have PT over surgery...

Goodness, I've been an NP for more than 30 years and I'm embarrassed to say I've never heard of tendinosis.

How Tendinosis Differs From Tendonitis & Why It Matters

Then again, I've specialized in infectious disease for almost 30 of those 30+ years.

I would have never distinguished between osis and itis in the case of tendons. But then again, ortho is not my specialty.

Glad you don't need surgery.


I'm going to tackle installing the kitchen faucet tomorrow. I bought a new one this evening.

When you fly all the way to London England for a bi-annual (happens once every two years) support conference, and all the sessions go the full hour so you have about 20 seconds to make it across town from a session that goes 8-9, arrive at the one going 9-10 about ten minutes late and rinse/repeat for four days. I have been holding my bladder as much as possible,wondering how others are able to manage, until I finally realized that most people are intentionally signing up for and staggering their session attendance with hour breaks.

When your boss blows you off a 9am meeting for Wednesday for two hours, and runs out of time in the day to complete the task. So he says, "let's finish this up tomorrow - start at 9, first thing." Two hours later, you're finally starting...

*sigh*

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Yeah, that's not great at all.

"counting to ten only makes it premeditated"

People who drive down my crowded residential street at high speeds, knowing there could be children playing on it at any time.

CALM DOWN! There's kids everywhere!

Chasing around a dog I'm looking after to kennel her up while my dad's waiting to give me a ride, and tweaking my half-healed collarbone because I have to manhandle her to get her into the kennel.

Running 30 minutes late for a job interview because I went to the wrong location.

Students (adult learners) come to class and invariably, the vote goes to having bagels instead of donuts. So, I bring bagels every day.

Today, a student put a bagel in the toaster during lunch, then came back to her desk and promptly forgot about it

Fire alarm went off
Smoke filled the room
So, I said "It's ok, but let's go..." and left the room.
Ten minutes later the fire truck arrives and I let them know where the trigger was...
We go upstairs to clear the alarm, and the student is still at her desk surfing the web and texting on her phone!!!

WTF?!?!?!

And that is why you have to have fire wardens! To chase out the workaholics and the oblivious, equally.

The only groups at our place that evacuate the place quickly are
1) my department (the mailroom) because we are both conscientious and conveniently placed on the ground floor. We are quite willing to leave the danger zone. So much so that our manager takes up position at the closest bus stop, just in case we get overly enthusiastic.
2) smokers, of all stripes. Some of them leave with cries of 'Yippee!' Trouble is, they barely get outside and they stop to light up. So, the fire wardens have to move them out of the path of potentially falling glass.

It's not so great when you are at the clinic (big building, 4 stories and the parking garage) and an alarm sounds to evacuate the third floor. Why? Who knows but I'm on the first floor. Should I go stand by an exit just in case?

Never did find out any more about it, a chemical spill maybe?

It's not so much that - it's that she tripped a fire alarm, then proceeded to just sit and surf while the rest of the building evacuated...

Since when do clanging bells and alarms ever suggest that it's a good idea to stay where you are? (Oh, and we're on the 3rd floor...)
