Oh! and the pap didn't hurt. Half the time I get a wave of nausea, a crampy ouch, and then spotting. Yuck. And yet none of this with the new doctor. I think she's a keeper. She didn't even give me a hard time for the length of time it had been or the lack of previous mammogram. She was just sweet.

(And you know, I normally don't mind the open plan office thing. But these are the kind of phone calls one generally wants walls for. I'ma see if HR's "confidential room" is free.)

If it isn't available can you fax your request to your doctor's office Jessica? Just mention you don't want to call from work.

I've gotten an extension on the final paper for the two students I'm tutoring. It's not much of an extension, but it's an extension none-the-less. I just called and told one of the students. She's like, "Isn't that going to hurt my grade?"

Me thinks she doesn't know what extension means. I don't have time for this.

Why do they have to call it a pediatric speculum? Why can't they come in sizes like "Wee-wee", "Hoo-hah", "Goolie", and "Has had 6 15 pound babies"?

My doc is great (and a woman), but some of her nurses need cluesticking. Because I am a big woman, they automatically think I need the big speculum. Every single time, my doc gets settled in looks at me and looks at the speculum and says, "Oh, this won't do. You need the small one." Then she gets up, gets the right one, and gets to work. Just cuz I'm big doesn't mean I have a big goolie. .

Ok - I just paid the first big tax bill and Now I need to pay the suplemental. I got the shakes because for two minutes - I couldn't find the bill...I thought it had run away.

Morning All.

I refuse to join the speculum convo. lalala I'm not listening... (Oh, except to confirm for MG [it was MG asking, wasn't it?] the party-line is that the girls can wait until sexually active or 30-35ish, whichever comes first).

So, um, no snow here. Or sleet or rain.

30-35 if not sexually active? That seems late to me.

This says within 3 years of sexual activity or 21.

We have thunder and lightening with snow. How weird is that?

Look outside for Jerry Bruckheimer. If he's there - not odd.
