How Lovely to be a Woman

NOT!! I never knew it was possible to be bloated AND dehydrated at the same time. Oh Mother Nature wha a wicked sense of humor you have.

What Caused That?

We had a customer in with marks on his hood, roof and trunk area. He wanted the inside detailed which was fine. But he asked if there was anything we could do about the marks,etc on the outside. Sadly we told him, "No." Buffing was not going to help that damage at all. So the only question left was, "What happened? What caused that?"

The answer, "Goats."

Apparently the man owns goats. And goats will eat anything and can climb on just about anything... and they did.

Father's Day Cards

I went to purchase Father's Day cards this evening and was surprised at how picked over they seemed to be already. Then I realized... Fathers are in charge of purchasing Mother's Day cards, therefore 3-4 days prior to Mother's Day there will still be a large assortment available, due to the fact that men tend to wait until the last minute. But Mothers are in charge of purchasing Father's Day cards and therefore 3-4 days prior to Father's Day your selection is greatly diminished.

Don't Drink and

Um Vaccuum? I found like a case of empty beer bottles in the trash can next to the vacs at the car wash. What's more disconcerting is that they came out of someone's car. Which would lead me to believe they were consumed in the vehicle. If this is in fact the case, it would explain why a lot of people screw up when driving through the car wash.

Perhaps we need additional signage. Or do people not realize that cars and giant car washes count as "heavy machinery" that should not be operated while under the influence?

As a completely side not I am curious as to why people choose the car wash as a place to dispose of over used/unwanted sneakers. I see at least two pairs a week when I empty the trash cans into the dumpster.

Observation

My therapist's office called today and asked if I would mind if an intern sat in on my session? I asked if they were going to participate or just watch. And they said they would just be there to observe. So either my therapist thinks that since I'm an actor I wouldn't mind because I am used to having an audience. OR, in light of all of the stress going on with my parents' health she thought I would be even better than a textbook case. Um... I'm flattered?

Urgent Care

So I landed myself at Nextcare Urgent Care Friday night after work with chest pains. First let me say, apparently that is the "green light," the "golden ticket," the "advance to Go," symptom to have. Because as soon as I said chest pains, I signed a "persmission to treat" and they whisked me on back. Nurse Jodie took me to a very cushy room and filled out my online medical history for me. Apparently they do not want to risk you keeling over the computer kiosk while filling out the online forms from whatever is causing the chest pains.

Anyway, they decided I needed to have some blood work done, and EKG and some chest Xrays. Let me say, Nurse Jodie was fabulous! Great bedside manner, very friendly and made me feel very at ease. Which considering I tend to make (innappropriate)jokes when I'm nervous and uncomfortable, was very kind.

However, I told her that I'm not good at the blood thing and that I WILL cry, it's completely involuntary. She gave me a tissue, I looked away and she poked the needle in. So we're good to go I think. Then she says, and I quote, "Oh crap."

I continue to look away, and calmly tell her that I'm pretty sure she's not supposed to say that with a needle in my arm. That it's kind of like your stylist saying "Ooops." It's just not somoething we want to hear.

We both got a laugh out of that and she promised not to say "Oh crap" during any of my other tests.

By the way, they couldn't find anything pulmonary or cardiovascular. They think it could be muscular but more than likely stress.
