Hey, ita.
That makes no sense, Steph. I can't believe they didn't even apologize.
I believe that's my hey. Hey!

Heya ita. Missed you.
I do not want to be awake. Also, had way more dreams last night than usual. All about friends being in my house (but it was some other house) and I wanted to have fun with them but had work to do. One was asking if we should make fruity beer or "crunchy" beer (apparently we were planning to brew beer?) and another one is apparently a realtor, in my dreams, while her girlfriend has a cigar that she wouldn't stop chomping on ( though it wasn't lit). Uh, ok brain.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hi, ita!

That makes no sense, Steph. I can't believe they didn't even apologize.
They are consistently, epically bad. I once called to get a refill on an inhaler, which is albuterol. The staff member on the other end of the phone said that it wasn't in my records. I said I had had an Rx for years, so it had to be. (I specifically used both words: albuterol AND inhaler.) She got huffy and said she would go talk to a doctor.
Comes back, tells me that they're calling in an Rx for atenolol. Which is a pill for blood pressure, not an inhaler for asthma. I kind of lost my shit at her, and suddenly she found albuterol in my records.
I did, in fact, talk to the office manager about that episode (and she was hugely apologetic), but it seems very little has changed.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Hey, ita's back!
Steph, I feel like that sort of thing is totally common for doctor's office's, and it's so shitty and I have no idea how it's the norm.

omg guys - so remember how the guys in my office were doing the wakkadoodle 7 day, cabbage soup diet. Well one of the guys has and has had GI issues. HE IS NOW IN THE HOSPITAL WITH AN IMPACTED BOWEL! what in the world was he thinking. He may have to have surgery since they were not able to clear it over night.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
!!!!!! msbelle. Is it a direct result of the diet?

You'd think all that cabbage would have the opposite effect.

I remember that! That's so bad.
My doctor's office has gotten much better about prescriptions now that they have the patient portal online. My pharmacist is also a champ, and will totally call and bug them if something's not right, or if I go in to pick up something and it's not there.

I don't think so, but his body was NOT at all used to eating that much fiber. You would think it would have cleaned him out, but nope.
He generally eats like crap. Almost all red meat, potatoes and bread. I bet the only veggies he regularly gets are the lettuce and tomato on a hamburger.
not the brightest bulb this one.
