I hope you all have a pleasant and safe Holiday!

Wll, I had some time on my hands...waiting for the day to start (receiving patients to x-ray) so I figured I'd stop by and say hi....so hi!.....:)......not much doing here right at this minute...I have lost an additional 13 lbs so I am up to 40 lbs lost and still going...so thats exciting. Ellens day program....someone had the swine flu there, but she didn't get it....thought she might have but...... and a matter of fact they say they can't do anything unless the swine flu is diagnosed within the first 48 hours you have it (as far as anti-virals are concerned anyway) so there you have it not much but hey thats life

Well, I'm back although just for a moment...thought I would share these with you.....

Zen Sarcasm, Part 1...

1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone.

2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and leaky tire.

3. It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.

4. Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.

5. Always remember that you're unique. Just like everyone else.

6. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

7. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.

8. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

9. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

10. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

11. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth

SEE Y'ALL LATER,

Andy

Hey, I'm just sittin' here at work waiting for the day to start...things have been very busy latley with 4 and 5 docs giving us patients (still nothing we can't handle tho)....For the first time we reached the goal of 100 exams for a workday (8-9 hour period, eventhough I get here at 8 am we usually don't start til 9:00...but sometimes, as soon as I walk in there is something) Things have been a bit hectic as you could imagine ...with work being work and the gym being the gym, family stuff I need to do...you see why I may not have been around as much as I had in the past.

I hope all are doing well...and I'll see you around.....

Good Morning all.....It's Saturday and I am going to get measured to see how much body fat I've lost so far I've lost  27 lbs! and I'm still going strong. I haven't been around much because I've entered a contest at my local gym......win cash and prizes and take care of my health at the same time.......win win situation to me! The contest is going ffrom august 1st until beginning of december sometime so wisjh me luck!

Just figured I'd pop in to say Hi....so Hi! They're playing "Castaway" again at work in the waiting room; this must be the 50th time I've seen it...at least! I wish they would get some new DVD's. Some of the patients complain about certain risque scenes...but it just doesn't make sense...for instance in Flashdance theres a boob shot....and a woman complained (I have no problem with that) she said it was inappropriate for her young children.....that being said we have had many young children in our office while "Jerry McGuire" was playing (I'm sure you know of the scene I speak) , "Keep the Faith" (where Jenna Elfman is watching, through binocculars; the couple in the office building across frome hers because her life is sexless....clue: he wasn't dictating a memo....well....:)) and even the "Nutty Professor 2" where Eddie Murphy is dry humping the ground....my point is That was the mildest scene of the 4 I've mentioned.... well I guess I have said enough

HAVE A GOOD DAY ALL! 

Done with Jury duty...never got to sit on a case! The lawyers asked me questions and I guess they didn't like what I had to say; I didn't try to duck my civic duty.... guess they just didn't like me.... Oh well TGIF all and I'll see you around

I've been in Limbo this week. I had gotten a subpoena for Jury duty and was told to call sunday night, I did they didn't need me...not my time, my number didn't come up...what have you but I was told to call back the next day after 7. I told my supervisor (after giving about month notice) that I was going to come in Monday but would probably be out Tuesday; I was and although I wasn't chosen for the jury panel they waitied til the end of the day to tell me. When I was released they toid me to keep calling back after 7pm to find out if they needed me again (I thought Jury Duty was for 1 day...but NO! a WHOLE week!) So now I have to tell my partner this (guy who shares the work with me every week except this one!) and my supervisor boith who were under the impression like me that it was just for a day. They'll give me a note Friday sayoing I had to do this under penalty of WHATEVER....but shouldn't they give you the note before you do it....HMMMMM!

I received some rather bad news last night....a freind of mine from facebook and here on medical mingle...Mark Mckay Richards received some rather "bad" health news. I ask for you all to keep him in your thoughts and prayers and help him "WIN"  against this 'scourge'...Thanks!

Today the heat wave finally broke (it's only 85!) but there's a nice cool breeze and its very enjoyable. Not much on tap for today...grocery shopping (Yay!), mowing the Lawn (double YaY) and riding the stationary bike (trip...well you get the idea!).

It's suppose to be this pleasent this weekend so cool beans.
