You know how sometimes when you go see your doctor, who's part of a larger practice, you end up being seen by a different doctor? Annoying.

Today, instead of being seen by my gynecologist, I was seen by a midwife. I'M NOT PREGNANT! WTF? lol!!!!Of course, she was uber nice, and me being me and finding all sorts of possibilities interesting, I ( Read more... )

I don't drive either! And that's what makes finding a job so difficult. Because my mother would be the one dropping me off, it has to be on her way to work and start early in the morning (if it's a weekday). I did find that Kohl's is looking for Early Merchandise Stock Assistants, or something like that... time and location are convenient; I just hope they accept my application.

Have you ever filled out an application? They make you feel like you're applying for some important executive position; they ask for references and previous employers, level of education, degree acquired... I'm applying to stock shelves! Or whatever/wherever the application is for **insert low-level employment here**. What are you supposed to put if it's [going to be] your first job? grrr.

Incidentally, it was also my first visit to a gynecologist. You'd think she'd make the effort to actually see me since I'm new to her practice... instead she was at lunch. She did pop by for a second, and said "hi"... to the midwifeAnd more on midwifery... I think it would ( ... )

You probably don't need to see a gynecologist. I only went (haven't had sex with guys either) because I saw a dietitian about going vegan (doing it right this time) and about the fact that I've gained 30+ pounds in a year, and she thought it was possible that the weight gain was caused by Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and thought I should see a gynecologist just to rule it out or confirm.

Btw, the midwife didn't think I had it, which was actually disappointing because it would have provided a nice guilt-free reason for my massive weight gain. grrr.

"I'm getting progressively more secluded and bad with people..."
This has been me for the past year. I'm trying to start talking to people again, 'cause frankly I'm miserable. And online (in general; I haven't used IM in a year)... grrrr. I spend SO much time online that I feel like I need to stage an intervention with myself. X(

Midwife? Lol!

Hi! I'm way late with this, but I didn't even notice that I had new comments on my page until fairly recently. Thank you for your sweet and encouraging comment. As I look it over again, and read this post...we seem to have so much in common that it's a bit eerie, actually! ;)

Yeah; the different doctor thing is really annoying. With one exception, however -- I used to go to this really creepy pediatrician who always spoke about me as if I wasn't in the room. He once asked me if I knew what puberty was, and when I said yes, made me EXPLAIN IT to him in gross detail. So I was always really happy if the other guy happened to be there...he looked and sounded a bit like Ben Stein, but at least he treated me like a person.

"I'd sell my uterus on the black market..." LOL! A couple of years ago, I ended up in the hospital with some kind of cyst on one of my fallopian tubes (sorry for the TMI; there is actually a point to this). Anyway, I ended up in the E.R. for 24 hours with all sorts of strange people doing tests on me and asking about my ( ... )

My turn to apologize for how long it's taken me to respond. Anyway...

"I don't hate babies, but I don't know how to act around them, either. Maybe it's because I was a "weird kid," and I can't relate...? I dunno...I just feel like small children don't like me for whatever reason."

I can relate to that as well. I don't know if this is your case, but I was/am an only child, and I wasn't very social, so I never really interacted with siblings or peers my age. Additionally, everyone in my house is really old (seriously, my mother's the youngest, and she's 62!), so I grew up around adults, and learned how to behave and act like them, not like a regular kid. This partially contributes to a bit of a paradox...

Even though I don't children, I think I treat them more respectfully than most people. Let me explain. Most people treat babies like babies (you know, talk to them like they only understand unintelligible syllables), toddlers like toddlers, etc. I treat everyone the same. I treat everyone like adults who are fully capable of ( ... )
