Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

What, like your own personal family death chart?

I dunno. They wanted a Venn diagram.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That NYT is too clever for me by half.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Well, the NYT had an article a few months back where they actually treated ID seriously.

Damn liberal media.

Wait, that can't be it.

Now tagless for your comfort.

And they were 40 minutes late.

DH is more impatient than most people waiting on appointments that don't start on time. He always tries to schedule for the first appointment. So he asked his old doctor what time his first appointment was. The doctor said, "What time do you want to come in?" Repeatedly. DH finally said, "I want YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT FOR THE DAY." Even then, he was still kept waiting 40 minutes. No way the doc could be 40 minutes behind due to overscheduling at 7:30 a.m.

DH got fed up and switched to my GP. She's never kept me waiting longer than 10 minutes once I get into an exam room.

I just got two emails from another division asking me for technical help that has nothing to do with my job. Blackberry help? The company's most populat programming language?

From complete strangers -- it's eerily like I'm being electronically punk'd.

Not answering them, though.

Irritatingly enough, I'm still waiting on real e-mail from people who are avoiding me.

The problem was that the student was doing the thing that I'll not TMI on everyone, and she hurt me.

That happened to me not long ago Allyson with a resident. They were nice about it, but the guy was having problems with the equipment. I did let them know that it wasn't the most pleasant experience. I felt like I had been mugged afterwards.

I felt like I had been mugged afterwards.

Yeah, I feel violated. I cried out. And no one asked me if I was okay.

That's horrifying. My guy may have been not very skilled, but they were constantly checking on me and asking me how I was doing, and I still felt awful afterwards.

I think you're totally right to complain, and I hope you feel better soon.

The fun thing is that I get to do it again in Jan. with another resident! My third gyn exam in four months! At least this time it's a female, so she might have some familiarity with the area.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Sorry you had an awful doctor's visit, Allyson.
