Just saying...

You ever just have those days when you just need to get "IT" off your chest!?!?! Well I have been having about 3 weeks of said "get-it-off -my-chest-ness!" I have decided what better way to let it all out than to BLOG!!

I mean no offense with this post and I need you to know that right up front! If we are still going to be friends after you read this...Please proceed!!!


1) When walking down the stairs with a buddy why must you stand side by side?? You see doing so will block the stairs for anybody that may need to go up. I know it is somewhat like a small personal parade as we stand there and wait for you. But unless we are throwing candy and waving as you go by, we are nothing more that annoyed! Please have a little common sense and even though there is some negative connotation with this statement...Walk a step behind!

2) If you are coming to the hospital to leave a urine sample please do not use the restroom on the way out the door. You see coming to the desk and demanding a urine cup is fine. But that is as far as I can help you! The fact that you took care of business before you left the house is beyond my control.

3) You are the one that knows your schedule not me! I know that it may come to a shock to you but I have no way of knowing you have an appointment in 3 minutes. You may decide to inform me of this is and that is great and I will do my best to get you through. But lack of planning on your part is not and emergency on mine!

4) Our wait times are in no way a personal attack! I know that a 20-30 minute wait time for blood work seems like a long time. But you should feel some comfort in knowing you have this fact in common with the rest of the waiting room!! :) So please have a seat, find a magazine and try to remain calm!

5) Pacing in front of my desk is not going to make me work any faster! Until you see me flipping through a magazine with my feet on the desk refer to my advice in #4!

6) Simple math is hard for some people! I ask the same question multiple times a day. It is a simple question that holds the capability to blow the minds of the general public. Are you ready??? Here is is the famous question..."How long have you been fasting?" Poof!!!! I get anything from blank stares, um..., I have no idea, since yesterday, last night, and my personal favorite from this last week "Not since last night at like 11:00 so I guess that is like 24 hours!" Well yes it would be 24 hours if was 11:00 at night and not 7:30 in the morning!!! I am no mathematician but all I could do was smile and continue to do my job!

Well I am feeling a little better and thank you all for coming along on this little rant!

  2. I figured out part of the problem... at least for number 6: Fasting makes people's brains fuzzy. :D
