For some reason I prefer this still, where he is making a face, but the cat is not reacting, to the one where Brandon doesn't have an expression, but the cat is hissing, although it isn't the best picture of Mr. Frasier.
I asked the secretary if I could cancel the physical and just have them take the tests today and it is weird.
She only has a Bachelor's, but acts like their impossible demands are perfectly reasonable, while I want to ask how far she got in grad school.
Each day I complete is another day more than her, but I don't know that number will continue to increase, if it is still increasing.
Hopefully they don't tell me to repeat a semester for $20,000 because, despite their slogan, they don't put people first.
Of course, the VA's slogan is apparently “To fulfill President Lincoln's promise to care for those who have served in our nation's military and for their families, caregivers, and survivors.''
I am not holding my breath.
Anyway, the secretary hasn't done grad school, but while she could have replied "Correct," she gave me multiple long sentences, which were definitely less clear than "Correct."
I didn't ask if I could cancel the titers, but she stopped nagging me about those, and then even though CVS scheduled 3 things for one visit, the nurse practitioner was only tracking the titers, which I didn't think that I needed anymore, so I called the secretary, she ignored me, the nurse practitioner drew blood for titers, and I scheduled an appointment so I could ask "Wait, what did you say about the TB test?"
A friend said that it takes a couple of seconds, a couple of days apart, except you need to go somewhere for those couple of seconds.
It may be 5 minutes total each time, but 300 seconds are many more than 2-3!
My friend didn't know about second TB test and a classmate cannot return to school until she has received the second one.
The nurse practitioner gave me a paper and then I scheduled the QuantiFERON TB Gold test from a lab that also analyzes semen, but I didn't request that, and they didn't offer.
Can I attend class now that I have been tested or do they demand results?
I don't even have an e-mail stating that I have been tested!
They pulled 4 vials for that and I had only had 3 spoonfuls of oatmeal and some milk.
I needed to run to my car because I forgot the paper.
I drove to Target to get juice and a cookie, but decided that Gatorade was in order, and they wanted almost $3 for a cold one, so I walked across the street to Winco for a $1.18 room-temperature-one.
Yeah yeah yeah, it was across the street, but 1,300 feet each way, and it was 110°.
I felt horribly hot, but didn't feel like drinking room-temperature Gatorade, so I drove home, where we don't have an icemaker, but I had also bought Italian ice, so I put one of those in my cup, and it didn't cool it down very much.
I did finally return a curtain rod I bought for the monkeys. Target had a fancy curved one which Mom hated, but go figure that a curved curtain rod required drilling into the rental, which we didn't want to do.
Unfortunately, I couldn't open the box without ripping the cardboard in several places, so hopefully someone can make that look prettier so they don't need to discount it.
I also ran to Walmart for something and finally returned a few things that Mom insisted were scary.
Now I just need to return the portable oxygen charger I bought for her.
Continuing grad school would be beneficial. I spent $10,000 moving here and gave up most of my caseload.
Would Plan B involve paying 2 months rent as an early termination fee to return to the struggle in Show Low and never escape that nurse I took out?
