rebeccmeisterOh. My. Lord. I am certifiably insane. Not for any particular reason.
I feel I owe you, my readers, at least some description of my Scrabble date. I let him play a word that wasn't spelled properly. He won. We're going to play again next Wednesday.
But he failed test number 1 (which is genetic, and I know, that's not fair, but that's life): too short.
Oh well. At least it's something completely different.
Somehow, I'm reminded of a story that's completely unrelated, but amusing, so I shall tell it.
A little while ago, Uncle F told me that a new lady had been acquired in his workplace. He used to be the troublemaker, but she has taken over. I should mention that he is a nuclear medicine technician, and so his job is to take images of folks' hearts when they have heart attacks and the like.
So anyway. When patients come in, of course they have a medical chart, and this new troublemaker has already objected to the abbreviation used to denote "shortness of breath" (SOB). After all, what would happen if one of the patients saw the chart and got offended?! So now everybody has to write "dyspnia" (medical jargonese for shortness of breath) instead.
I should work in an office. It would be fun. For about a day.
