Random Tuesday Thoughts...A Giveaway, Random Drug Testing, Retired People



I had to attend the “lab” again this morning to provide yet another urine sample.  Either the Dr.’s office keeps ordering the wrong tests or my urine is in high demand on the black market.  Either way…eewww.
As I’ve mentioned before - the lab opens at 8:00, but by 7:45 there is a huge crowd gathering around the door waiting for them to open up.  When the doors open, you are to take a number.  The way it is supposed to work is the person that arrived first, gets the first number; second person gets the second number, and so on and so on.  However, the senior citizens have an obvious sense of entitlement and tend to jump the line – there is even pushing by them.   I respect my elders, but this really bugs me because the only place they NEED to be in the morning after the lab is the local coffee shop or hair salon.  Urghhh…
My cube dwelling neighbor is on speaker phone again.  I feel an overwhelming urge to walk over and yank her phone line from the wall.  Why can’t she understand that there are people around her?
I’ve noticed that members of our finance team travel in packs of two or more.  You will never find one of them travelling by themselves.  They are kind of like teenage girls that way.  I can only assume they are sharing a common brain…
I found this item on Etsy a couple of weeks ago.  Am I the only person that finds it more than slightly disturbing?

FINAL REMINDER – Today is your last day to enter my giveaway if you haven’t already done so.  The winner will be announced tomorrow - Wednesday, June 2nd.

Special thanks to The Un Mom for hosting my randomness every week.  If you are looking for more, stop by and visit her - now...

Senior citizens tend to think they are entitled to everything. My daughter deals with them everyday at the restaurant at which she works and they make her crazy!

That coat rack is just wrong! It just screams, "I dismember babies for a living!"

The fact it's on etsy makes it doubly disturbing.

I managed to give a stool sample only to have them say that it came out inconclusive— what does that mean anyway???

Something is definitely wrong with that coat rack. Oh that center leg needs to be turned up before it will hold a coat. Easy fix.

Need to change your cube neighbors phone out to one without a speaker.

Creepy rack! I don't like the ones made out of deer legs either.

I wonder why the seniors are so aggressive and is it something that happens to us as we age? Hope not. It's not like you can trip them as they push by, can you.

Oh yuck!
I am not a fan of that coat rack.

And I say, no matter how old you are, you need to wait your turn in line! :)

I don't understand those silly seniors pushing like that. So rude. And yes that dismembered doll rack thing is very strange and disturbing indeed.

I wonder if it would be possible to make her "speaker" button suddenly malfunction.

I Was Feeling Pretty Good Until...

I had my annual “physical” yesterday.   I’ve been attending the same clinic for well over 20 years and am overall happy with the service I receive.  The clinic is part of a state-of-the-art teaching hospital, so with that I typically have relatively quick access to a network of specialists should the need arise.  With that being said, I’m usually treated by residents and have rarely had the same resident in all my 20 years. I felt pretty good going into the appointment and then not so much by the time I left.   Why do you ask? Well, first of all I was treated by Miss Doogie Howser.   I swear she wasn’t even legal drinking age.  That in itself made me feel old, because when I first started going to that clinic – I WAS her age. As she was running down the standard list of questions (i.e. do you smoke, how much do you drink, is there any history of heart problems in your family), she asked me “How is your sex life?  Any concerns?

Snot Bubbles and Wedgies...

Scuba diving can be the most relaxing, peaceful experience of your life – no cell phones, no boss and no noise, except for your own bubbles; however it can be a sport that is not for the faint of heart – rough waters, sharks and crushing depths. If you are self-conscious, shy or weak of stomach, scuba diving may not be for you. Let me explain… Warning: The following may be overly descriptive. Read on at your own risk… The scuba wetsuit. There is nothing glamorous about squeezing a size 8, 10, 12 body into a size 8 neoprene wetsuit, while sweating under the Caribbean sun. It’s sort of like trying to put a sock on while your foot is still wet. Scuba diving professionals may tell you, that neoprene doesn’t shrink, but those people are liars. What they are really trying to do is make you feel good about yourself – selfish bastards. I am living proof that my wetsuit has shrunk on numerous occasions – usually over the winter months. Coincidence? I think not. The wedgie. This un
