ENTITLED

What is it about some people that they feel they are so entitled? You know what I mean, those people who don't care what you are doing but only care what their needs are.

I got a work phone call while doing something personal and the person insisted I do something for her. When I tried to help her she became enraged (okay, maybe not enraged but tense and upset) and started saying that I was being difficult. When I tried to explain that it was difficult to help her because I was doing something personal and not at my office, she thought I was saying that I would not help her BECAUSE I was out of the office. She became even MORE difficult. In the end she was helped and I was thanked but it left a bad taste in my mouth.

Why do some people feel so entitled? Why did she feel so entitled to call me while I was doing something personal and insist that I drop everything for her? With no "please can I bother you" and no "so sorry for inconveniencing you". I don't want to call her the b-word.

I CAN HEAR YOU

It wasn't until I had a friend who was deaf that I learned about how important it is to hear when women go to the bathroom. You can feel yourself pee but how do you know when it ends? I can hear it end but what if i can't hear?Plug your ears and test it. It is hard to know when you stop peeing if you can't hear.

Today I was on an airplane and it kinda happened to me. The plane was really loud and I could not tell when I was done peeing because I could not hear it. I have been told that one way to tell is to put your hand down there and See if you are done. I didn't do that but I did have to wipe twice because I had not finished the first time.

Just an interesting tidbit.

Until tomorrow...

STILL NO NEWS

I am still waiting for news from the doctor about MRI vs. ultrsound. Hopefully tomorrow.
Until tomorrow...

GREAT IDEAS

I get these great ideas for blog posts.  I actually wrote the posts in my head.  The posts are so funny and witty.  Interesting and full of facts.  The posts are usually written in the shower or in the car. 

Then I get home and the dogs need to be fed and the mail gets read.  I get changed and I eat something.  Do you think I remember one idea that I had in the shower or in the car?  Not a thing. 

I was going to get a tape recorder to use in the car because I think of great things and so many things I need to do or remember.  Then I get home and the world happens and I forget all those great ideas.

I just wish I could remember the idea I had in the car today.  It was a great blog post.  You would have loved it. 

Medical update: My potassium is low again this month.  My RA doctor is very concerned.  She wants me to talk to my Primary.  I guess low potassium is medically serious.  Who knew?  I need more bananas...

HAIR ISSUES

Today I went to get a hair cut.  Last time I got a hair cut I was not happy because my side-burns were not cut even. Meaning one side was longer than the other.  People noticed!  I was going switch and get my hair cut by someone else but I was in a big hurry and the guy I was going to go to was no longer at the salon when I called. So I was stuck going back to her.

I showed up today and before she cut my hair I said we need to talk.  I told her I was unhappy with my hair cut last time because my side burns were not even and I thought they were cut too short.  I told her that I even took photos that I could show her.  I explained that I could not return the day of the bad hair cut because we went somewhere right after my hair cut and by the time we got back, her shop was closed.  (Oh, forgot to mention, she is the OWNER!)  I told her that I was not happy and her response?  She laughed.  Laughed.  If I was not in such a bind, I would have walked out right then.  No apology, no I am sorry.  She proceeded to cut my hair and once again my sideburns are too short!  Even after I told her once again, don't make them too short.  She did take extra time to make sure they were even. She blamed my uneven side burns on my glasses being uneven.  Whatever!

I paid and didn't leave a tip.  I will not be returning, EVER!  How hard is it to say gosh I am sorry?  I have my own business and let me tell you, even if it isn't my fault, I suck it up and say I am sorry.  I may not say I am sorry I made a mistake but I will say I am sorry you got hurt or I am sorry this didn't work out for you.  Just say you apologize.  But to laugh?  I will never return or send anyone there again. AND I will tell everyone what you did! No one will want to go there either.  Ergh!

It sucks having to find another hair dresser.  It is almost as hard as finding jeans that fit or a bathing suit.

MAKING ME LAUGH

I saw this video today and it made me laugh so hard.  First, the dog looks exactly like our previous dog Taiko and a little like our current dog Happi.  Second, who puts shoes on dogs?  Aren't dogs meant to go outside and get their feet dirty?  Aren't they animals?  Our babies but still animals.

Click here to view if the video window does not show.

I just had to share.  Good animal videos are always a hoot!

MRI update: DECLINED!!  Monday my doctor has a phone peer review with The-Insurance-Company-Who-Will-Not-Be-Named and MAYBE I will get an ultrasound next week.  Then MAYBE I will get a MRI. What a Ridiculous system!

FEELING A BIT BETTER

Thank you for all your good thoughts. I am starting to feel a bit better. I actually took the dogs for a walk today! They were so happy. They acted like crazy dogs but I can't blame them. They have been couped up for days with only little runs around the backyard.

Still no word on the MRI. Getting sick helped allay the worrying. It is all about immediate survival. The cold was more immediate!

I have one more physical therapy session. She wants to see what the MRI says before discharging me.  Good luck with that!

The rats. Well they are still there. I have a plan for them. Can't tell you yet. Those critters can move things, eat almost anything and, I hear, they can read too!  I have seen Ratatouille. Explains why my Internet speed has been slow. They have using their little rat Kindles out in the backyard and hacking my wifi. Damn them!

STILL NOT FEELING WELL

Today I was such an air head!  I was late to a meeting.  Forgot my power cord to my computer at a clients.  Didn't charge my computer last night after working in bed so I had a dead computer at a clients!  I was on a phone with a client and didn't make any sense at one point.  What a day!  I should have just stayed in bed.

I think my stuffed up head and fever got the better of me. Tomorrow is another day!

LOSING A FRIENDSHIP

Have you ever lost a friend?  Not lost like they died but lost like the friendship ended.

Recently we had a long term friend decide to end the friendship.  We had invited him over for the holidays and he accepted.  (I am going to call him Sam.) Sam then suddenly called and said he wasn't going to be able to come and then he said "I can't tell you why because I am too angry right now."  A week went by and then we decided to call Sam and see if he would talk to us.  He didn't pick up and didn't respond.  Then a few days later he left us a note that said "Don't contact me.  Maybe I will contact you next year."

This has completely thrown us.  We have no idea what we have done to Sam. If we even did anything to him.  We both reviewed the last time we saw him and what we said.  Nothing comes to mind.

I am angry.  How dare you withdraw a long term friendship unilaterally?  Isn't a friendship two sided?  Don't we deserve an explanation? 

What do you think of this situation?  Has this happened to you?  What did you do?

Weight Update: 179.9 don't seem to be losing any weight.  Must be holding water weight from all the tea and soup.
