Bye HC! Have fun camping!

Sorry, was on my way home from work, lol.

Yeah, Sneezy, my plans for the weekend include riding with my friend in a car for 45 minutes to videotape her children's theater class doing plays somewhere.

And possibly a 25 mile bike ride to the zoo Saturday, if it's nice out and I feel up to it.

Have fun HC!! Wich I could go along... I miss camping.

Yeah, Sneezy, but you know, us nurses need to protect ourselves in the deep dark night in those parking garages.

Basically I just do it for fun, even though we own the shop, I don't carry... I have pepper spray. We just all like to get together every now and then and do some target shooting.

You should check out our range though, it is top notch.

Oh, and lets not forget tonight... I'm riding my bike a mile and a half to meet some frieneds at the park, then we're coming back to my place for game night.

Is it naked dart night again already?

You laugh... had a friend in college who had an older friend who was half of a swinger couple whod apparently play strip darts.

Maybe its just me, but I'm willing to strip for a lot of things... but not when pointy projectiles are being tossed about, probably by people drinking...

But I'm a prude like that

I'm with you kp... I'm also against cooking naked.

Hi all!

I'm here for ten minutes, then Survivor is on.

I had a heck of a day. I left for my appointment at 1:30, address in hand, directions that I got off the internet, ready, willing and able, also in pain. Hubby is driving, we knew where abouts the address was, we get there and it's a residential street, we're in the burbs, no eye doctor, what the heck? I try calling the doctors office to make sure I have the right address, no answer. I call the lasik clinic (they're the ones who set me up with the appointment) they tell me it's at the Royal Alex hospital, 1/2 hour drive from where we ended up. We go to The Royal Alex, search for parking for 20 minutes, finally find the eye clinic, at this point it's 2:45, my appointment was at 2:10. I tell the receptionist that I'm late but that I didn't have the right address. She looks up the doctor I'm supposed to see, turns to me and says, she's not at the hospital today, she's at her office. I ask, where is that?

27311- Hughes Road (which when told the address is the way I spelled it) actual address
27311- Hewes Road

Both address exist, one is on the north side of Edmonton, the other on the south. BIG difference!

The receptionist called the doctor, told her what had happened, said that I was on my way and in allot of pain, and was told, "to bad, she's already over a 1/2 hour late, I'm not willing to wait for her, she can call to make a new appointment and she'll be charged $25 for missing this one." AHHHHHHH!

So, long story short, I'm still in pain and I won't be able to get an appointment until next week. I'm MAD!!

Sorry for the rant. And I've got to run. Survivor is on. Back in an hour. :)

Aww... poor alty.

You should lay into the doctor for not specifying which street... they've had to have people to that in the past.

That s*cks... that doctor was neither nice, accommodating OR friendly. Actually she sounded a little condescending... sorry Alty

Stringer

Alty. Kick that doctor's @ss to the curb... what the hell?. that's complete bs.

... I'm spending my night trying to get a 13 year old kid to NOT take prescription meds he/she found around the house.

...

Aww... I'm sorry sneezy. Damn kids...

.. luckily, it wasn't prescription meds. They just spelled acetaminophen (tylenol) wrong and somehow got acemetacin (a prescription medication) perfectly.

Ace Medicine? Heh, I love the corporate world.

All right sneezy, you're dealing with people a lot.

Doesn't it just make you mad when people won't fess up to anything? A guy called today because Quickbooks won't work on his laptop anymore... it just tries to install every time he opens it. He had a problem with logging in a few weeks ago, too, which I fixed.

Now, I don't work for this company... they're a client. I've never been there, it's not in the same city... I just help them over the phone, and I can log into the server remotely, but that's about it.

Both times, it was just some random problem... somthing went wrong with the program. Corrupt files when he couldn't login, and some settings missing for quickbooks. He asks me "Well how could this happen?"

Do people do that to you, too? I mean... you weren't there, you have no idea what this person has been doing. If they got hurt or something screws up in their body, do they always ask you the reason it happened?

I end up just saying it could have been any number of things... power fluctuations from the battery make the hard drive write bad files, bad data from a network connection, closing a program down improperly... whatever.

And, of course, when people have 2 problems in the span of 1 month, they don't believe that it's anything they could have done... it's been running fine for the past year. How could it just suddenly stop?

Grr...

Sounds like all of us are having a bad day.

Thanks for letting me vent, and for backing me up. Unfortunately, I don't have the choice to get rid of this doctor, unless I can get referred to a different specialist by another doctor, which could take a long time. I'm going to make the appointment, and then give her a piece of my mind (after she fixes my eye). That was ridiculous and very frustrating, and here I sit, still in pain with no relief in sight (sight, hee, hee, I've still got my sense of humor, for now) ;)

How is everyone doing? I saw all the plans you guys have for the weekend, it sounds great. I don't have any major plans for the weekend, just cleaning, resting the eyes and playing with the kidlets. :)

Oh alty... thats terrible. I mean, I found that to be pretty much one of the most hilarious puns ever, and I'm a real sucker for bad puns. You should be ashamed... lol.


Aaaaand speaking of bad puns: My favorite joke, to make the day better!

So, there's these two goldfish in a tank. One of them turns to the other and says - "Do you know how to drive this thing?"

:)

Resty... if I had a dime for every time someone on this forum (not counting those at school) asks those questions...

My favorites are...

"Can I be pregnant?"

"These are my symptoms: (names some generic symptoms like coughing, fever, nausea)...what's wrong with me?"

Alty: I just finished my math hw!

I was supposed to go pool-halling... but it seems like those plans are out the window. I'm going home and probably going to sleep.

Oooh, pool halling sounds fun! I haven't done that in a long while.

We used to go 2-4 times a week, me my friend and my old roomie. The he decided to become a drug addict. And a drug dealer. And grow pot in his closet in our apartment. Just three reasons I kicked him out.

Perhaps that shall become my Saturday activity, instead of the zoo. Or both.

I forgot to mention in my weekend plans, I'm going to see "The Tempest" at the high school I went to tomorrow. My friend's brother, who is pretty much as awesome as my friend, is in it.

Hee, hee, love the joke Resty, cute. :)

Ah Sneezy, not pool, that sucks, I'd go with you if I could, I love pool, and I kick butt. :)

I love the pregnancy questions too. I'm always tempted to say "pee on your screen and I'll tell you if you're pregnant."

My dimwit cousin (love her to death, really, but she doesn't have the brains god gave a goat) asked me the other day how effective condoms were in preventing pregnancy. I told her that no birth control is 100%, only abstinence is. She said "Where can I find this abstinence stuff, do I need a prescription?" Ahhhhh, I can't handle stupid, I really can't, but I did giggle later, until I realized that this kid is having sex, then I stopped laughing, not so funny after all. Sigh.
