Car to shop, at 6:30am. On train to work - thought about Tweeting the car number, but that's fdmts thing.
Get to work with only 3 rows left on my hat, so naturally finish hat. Try on -- OOPS. It might fit a 4 year old, but it won't fit me. Guess it's not technically MY hat, after all. (pout)
Clinic was uneventful. For me, that's really saying a lot. Did meet a woman who'd gotten herself down from 418 lbs to 203 lbs by diet and exercise alone. Good for her!!
Resident did a good talk over lunch about Multiple Sclerosis and MS and pregnancy. Learned something. (This is why I asked him to do the topic in the first place...)
Meeting re: OB/ID/Peds. Nothing much ever happens there. Nothing happened today, but we got done 30 minutes early, so I went and took a nap (like a bum) on the protected patio...
Meeting re: Research. A little less nothing occurred, but I'm still not signing up for extra stuff to do there. Not actually working on any of my own crap.
Run back to office to meet paramedical person to do exam for my bigger, better life insurance policy. Almost legitimately forget to tell her about that DVT....like I could really forget?!
Miss my psychiatry appointment, due to above. I've made ONE with the new guy. Not working out so great.
Do some (way behind) resident evaluations. Read mine. Shall I quote?
"She speaks to patients in a pedantic fashion that is insulting to their intelligence. If she isn't comfortable with her patient's level of education or understanding of their disease process, she should hear the other members of the MFM department talk to their patients, which they do with grace, respect, and compassion."
Shed a tear at my desk.
Run out door to catch bus to train to Braintree to pick up car prior to 6pm at which time I can't pay ANYONE to get my car back. Chatted with fine fellow at dealership 3 times, because the train was stopped outside the Braintree station, and I still had to walk to the dealership. I paid at 6:10p and got my car. (Thank you!)
Race home to try and get there before the nice lady who was giving me an estimate on a housekeeper. Got there, watered plants, picked tomatoes. Got estimate. Expensive, but probably worth it. Will have to chat with fdmts...
Read postcard from my friend who was in the UK on vacation and to see her Granny, who (conveniently?) died while she was there to say goodbye..... :( Yes, this was on a postcard.
Made a korn salad out of the How to Cook Everything Vegetarian -- korn, tomatoes, cilantro, chipotle pepper, salt, pepper, avocado, green pepper, lime juice...and then I just added black beans b/c it was too limey. Now marinating.
To sum up, while there's nothing particularly wrong with my ho-hum existence, I still find myself shouting in my head.... .........................How the hell, if we bought 20# of onions, can we POSSIBLY be out of onions?............... Oh wait, that's not it! ................Who are you fuckers, and why the hell won't you just leave me alone?!? ................ and ...............and what the fuck possessed me to throw out a perfectly good quart of Breyer's Reese's Peanut Butter Cup ice cream last night, anyway?..................
I'm going to work on some more crap that is not my research project but is still required for my job. Meanwhile, I will openly solicit other ideas for alternative employment suggestions.
