'Destiny'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
However, I award you 5,000 adorable points for telling me that the day before admission you're taking the toddler to a tattoo artist to have Tony Stark's artificial heart painted on his chest with nontoxic kid-friendly body paint to give him Iron Man courage. That's pretty spiff.
Totally spiff.
The other one is eye rolly. Asking a hundred times does not give you a hundred answers to choose from, it just annoys people.
Oh, my. Apparently Notre Dame's star football player either invented a girlfriend and her tragic death out of whole cloth, or was the victim of a pretty elaborate stunt.
Munchausen by Internet hits the big time!
how many people think if you ask a question over and over at some point the answer will be the one you want.
I'm betting the data back them up on this a fair bit of the time.
Timelies all!
Rainy and cold here. Bleah.
Also, he didn't ask. He just told me his son was 15 and would be donating, and then when I said no he wasn't and no he wouldn't, he called the blood bank and told them the exact same thing. Not a speck of asking.
Also, does he think every department here is hermetically sealed away from every other department and none of us compare notes (or, apparently, know how to read a calendar)?
Our chief surgeon pointed out that I could always call him back and offer to postpone his son's surgery 3 months so he'd be old enough to donate; God knows there are other kids who'd be happy to have his earlier surgical date.
WTF!
Or saying "That is unacceptable" in a no-nonsense voice will magically change the immutable procedures that are in place. Because people panic when they have to say No to other people.
(I love when customers give me the silent treatment when I tell them something they don't like. I don't mind sitting and not saying anything for several minutes.)
Anyone who tells you their toddler is a "huge Niners fan," you know who's really the huge Niners fan in that household.
So apparently having a small lunch and then working out four hours later isn't the best idea.
I love the idea of rescheduling the surgery so he can donate. Choice 1 - surgery now with blood bank blood or Choice 2 - surgery later with autologous blood. Pick one and then SHUT UP.
