Planned Parenthood Goodies
I'm going to Madison this weekend so I needed to take care of my prescription crap this week, specifically today. So, I picked up my standard meds, but decided to forgo the birth control and skip on over to Planned Parenthood instead. What an experience! And oh the characters!
I got there, and there was this surly manly woman working behind the counter. I could only imagine what a job there would do to you. She's probably aged 10 years just by putting up with the day to day crap of an NPO. I sit down and there's this woman across from me that oddly resembles a prostitute from my old neighborhood. She basically was wearing clothes 2 sizes too small and looked like she had at least a couple STDs and the brain size of a pea. Then there are two girls who look about 15 with their siblings (I hope). The youngest was an adorable 2 year old boy, the other two were probably 8 and 10. They started talking in Spanish and that was even more adorable. The 2 year old talking about "los zapatos" was just too much.
The next one deserves a longer story. I've been waiting there for about 1.5 hours. It doesn't really feel like it's been that long, but since I have nothing better to do with my time I didn't mind the waiting around. Besides, it's Planned Parenthood...what'd you expect? I'm kinda tired from working out this morning so I yawn and sigh looking at the clock. Some weird girl takes this as a hint that I want to bitch and moan about waiting so she comes up and asks how long I've been there then proceeds to tell me she spends less time in classes during the week. I was reading a Cosmo the whole time and just looking at her like 'oh that's nice'. Whatevs, you never get what you want when you're pissy like that. You only anger yourself more and piss others off around you. It takes more energy being a bitch than it does to just take a deep breath and let the drama go. I would know, I used to be a huge bitch (still am when people push the right buttons :P).
Still, my pearl of wisdom for the day: appreciate things for what they are, not what they aren't. You go into Planned Parenthood without an appointment (and that's standard procedure for picking up birth control) then you can't expect that it will be a short wait. To be honest, I hadn't thought much about it or I would have brought a book or my laptop or something. Regardless, I found time to schedule my next interview, which is tomorrow. I actually have a good feeling about this one and maybe it's all my interviews or maybe that I'm finally mentally ready to accept my place in the workforce.
In other notes, I was able to keep myself on the patch AND I got 3 months supply for free because I'm unemployed and basically have no income, no benefits, and tons of bills. I say its the fairest trade I've received since graduating :D. Just wish I would have been less prideful and would have gotten into PP sooner.
