  • Guess he needed a mental health day huh?

  • Hi G2: Glad you are back. Sounds like you had your hands full, but you are probably better off not working for such an administration.

  • People who go to all the trouble to pretend they are someone else just to get medical information on a relative, etc., must lead a fabulously boring life! Before HIPPA, in our practice, we had measures in place to protect patient privacy. In fact,…
  • Speaking of HIPAA: Try working in a cardiology practice where the majority of our patients are elderly and have been with us long term. Good case scenario: Husband and wife have been married 50 plus years and have always been able to call the doc…
  • Actually, I took a 12 week course which was expensive, but I really learned a lot from it, so not a waste of time. As far as the exam, I had built it up in my mind that it was going to be really horrible, but it was not as bad as I thought I passed…

  • I agree with the other posts It's just another example of how social graces and etiquette and just plain good manners are going down the tubes. I carry a beeper and a phone, both are on vibrate when I am in a public place. If I am in a restaura…

  • Hee Hee....I love it. I think I will go this weekend, get upset at something, fill a cart full of frozen ice cream bars (the expensive ones!) and then quietly leave. On the other hand.....it would be my luck to get the refrozen ones that I am su…
  • I usually try to avoid the Super Wal-mart Hell grocery store, but I do have to go there on occasion to get some stuff that can't be found anywhere else. I hate the various "crap" they have piled up to the rafters in the aisles and then having to co…
  • Yep, I agree I am an early person. I get up around 4:30 AM every day to get my exercise in and then am at the office at 7 AM. I usually try to leave between 4:30 and 5 PM, but it doesn't always happen. Trouble has a way of showing up between 4 a…

  • Hope it was a golf umbrella!
  • Yes, I believe there is even a piece of furniture calling a "fainting couch".
  • That's what I thought too, Don. Unless this person has a very select clientele (and very few of those), I don't see how any daycare could close at 5PM when most folks don't get out the door until then (if they are lucky).
  • Oh here's another one - recent. A full time employee who works in a group who is expected to rotate one day a week to be the "late" employee, told me that he has to leave early EVERY day to pick up his child from a daycare that closes at 5PM sharp.…
  • Threatening to call the Department of Labor on the company if something doesn't go their way. (I love the look on their faces when I hand them the telephone).
  • We have some co-workers in the military reserves - one has been called up, but has not had to go overseas yet The others are just waiting to be called. Hope this is a short one. Don't want a repeat of the Gulf War. We are thinking of you.

  • I'll be !!!##**!!!!!if I know!
  • Yep. These things rank right up there with people who let their toddlers put the message on their answering machine. I don't know how many times I have called an applicant and have to listen to a baby "babble" around for 20 or 30 seconds. I guess …
  • Thanks for the chuckle! We can use it.
