Quotation of the Day

For once, a totally cool Monday

You know most Mondays are just the shit day of the week. They suck, no one wants to be there, it's mess at the office because everyone thinks they have been trying to die all weekend. I had a patient this morning who has a history of heart disease. She has about five stents and smokes like a chimney and is way over weight. She walks in an tells me that she has been having chest pain all weekend. On a scale of 1-10 it's an 8. Really really bad chest pain. I ask her "why didn't you go to the ER? You have all this history, why did you not go?". Her genius response..."because I know the difference between cardiac pain and stomach pain". I'm going to clue you all in to something. Cardiac pain can and does mimic gastric pain. Go to the ER.

So Amy calls this morning and tells me to go by lotto tickets, we need to win the lottery. The agreement is that if one of us (Leslie included) wins, no of us work again. It's friendship law of finance. If I get stupid wealth, I will take care of my peeps. Anyway, So she goes and buys hers and I go buy mine and now we wait for Wednesday, to see it we have to work Thursday. Amy is all into "The Secret". You know the positive thinking brings you good things mumbo jumbo. I have always been a pessimist, but when she gets on her deal, I get sucked in and start to think positively. I walked into work, before the patient, and told someone we needed doughnuts. Twenty minutes later, this rep showed up with a lady to make gourmet coffee and lattes and cinnamon rolls. I guess it worked. In that spirit....I NEED TO WIN THE LOTTERY!

I would like to think that may have also had an effect on the game yesterday. You all know what I'm talking about. I guess we'll see if the team is as good as they like to think they are, or is Tom as stupid and useless as I like to think he is. If you will all notice there is a patriot player on top of the Chief player, don't bother to scream cheap shot, it wasn't. I won't go into a long diatribe about football, I know not everyone loves it like I do, but let's just say it was a really good football weekend.

Reason number seven to love football, I clean like a mad woman when it's on. I swept, dusted steam mopped did the laundry, and cleaned the bathroom all while drinking beer and watching the game. I can do some serious multi-tasking. I also watched The Hills, but will have to watch it again cause I may have been a little drunk and not sure I caught everything. OOPS.

I think Dana broke up with me, why Dana why?????

Hey! I want in on that lottery deal. And I think Dana left the country with one of those crazy humor people. She left me, too.
If i throw a football party will you bring chips and your mop? I hate cleaning my floor.

Don't forget that you said if you win the lottery you will build a house for me next to yours. You can't go back on your promises.

If you win the lottery you are sooooo getting my name for the secret santa soiree!

Could you come out here and watch all the games at my house? I have more than one big-screen HD TV and you can have your pick. Well, actually, maybe you could move about the house with the cleaning supplies during the games. I will keep all the TVs going for you.

I am sitting here wishing that Karen would come to my house and watch the football games for the rest of the season. Do I have to say OM or anything?

And a doughnut sounds good, too. But don't screw up my order and bring cinnamon rolls instead, universe. Or you suck.

P.S. All of my life-threatening illnesses happen late at night or on the weekend also. I don't go to the ER because it is full of germs. Also because usually by morning and/or Monday my life-threatening illness has subsided.

A lot of my life-threatening illnesses center on my lying in bed and imagining I have cancer of everything. What do those symptoms suggest to you? I used to have a cancer that moved around in my body. One week it would be in my breasts and then it would move to my colon or my gall bladder. Fortunately, my gall bladder has been pulled out and thrown away, so that is one less place that my cancer can travel. Or maybe that is not good, because probably cancer of the gall bladder isn't as serious as the one I may or may not have in my ovary right now.

Anyway, it's Monday and it's after noon, so I am feeling pretty fit. Thanks for asking.

BTW...your comment and the use of my new moniker made me laugh out loud!

I had been giggling about the "Ocho-Cinco" dude....but that replaced it quickly! :)

I think Brady is faking it! He is such a wuss. Anyway now, like you said, we'll see how good the Patriots really are without him. Remember that's how Tom got the job, when Drew Beldsoe got hurt. So long Tom, have fun playing in Canada!!!

I cant believe grown efffing women like us watch The Hills....I do, too. *sigh* Thanks for not spoiling it- I have it on Tivo... still have to watch it. I can't wait to see what vomit Spencer comes up with this week. Seriously! And note to self: stomach pain could be my heart. Great.

Tasha said...

P.S. Fuck Brady! He still gets 20mill and gets to bone a supermodel. Go Broncos!
