Alphabe-Thursday - A is for

Time for a fun new meme hosted by Jenny Matlock. If you've not met Jenny, you absolutely have to run over to her blog right now! Her writing runs the gamut from hysterically funny to sometimes heartbreaking - but is ALWAYS entertaining. Go ahead, check her out, I'll wait....
See, told you so. Anyway, Jenny has started a fun new weekly event called Alphabe-Thursday. There are even prizes! This week we start with the letter A - come on, what did you expect?? The first thing that popped into my mind was attitude. As in bad. As in I've had a really cruddy week. Don't believe me?

1) The cedar count is through the roof and I have gone through 5 boxes of kleenex in 7 days.

2) Darling daughter informed us that her check engine light is on and her car is due for inspection in February.

3) Said daughter is student teaching this semester, therefore is not allowed to work, therefore has no income to have her car worked on. It's a good thing she's so sweet...

4) Had to completely update and revamp our employee handbook in 3 days.

5) Had to explain to our employees why their health insurance premium is going up again even though the coverage is going down. Oh, and the deductible is going up.

6) My fancy new coffee container from Starbucks leaks whenever I raise it to take a gulp, er, gracious little sip.

7) The first patient I picked up this morning proceeded to lick my face joyously while simultaneously urinating all down the front of my scrubs.

8) Client calls to tell me that she thinks her dog's ears are better but she's not sure. But she doesn't want to come in. She wants the Dr. to call her and tell her if the ears look better. Over the phone. I could not make this stuff up.....

9) Client calls to ask if feeding her dog the old chicken she was going to throw out (because it smelled bad) would make the dog sick. I told her absolutely it would make him ill - do not feed him the chicken. She then wanted to know when she should bring the dog in. I asked what we needed to see the dog for. She fed him the chicken. . . 2 days ago. Dog has been vomiting and having diarrhea ever since.... Oh, and she can't bring the dog today because she has a tee time she has to make.....

10) Then I walked outside and it was 77 degrees and sunny and the week started to get better. I may play hooky tomorrow....

Don't forget to swing by and meet Jenny and see what everyone comes up with for the the letter A.
