Cleaning at my old house


Nothing too exciting - I just had to share!

My husband, my son and I were at our old house the other day - 5/25/06. My hubby was painting the master bedroom with the help of a friend from work and I was in the spare bathroom cleaning. This is the bathroom my 10 year old son uses. It was not pretty - actually it was pretty scarey and I am very convinced that he had to have sat BEHIND the toilet to pee where I found pee = but that is a whole other story - lol!!!

As I was in the bathroom, scrubbing away -- I hear my son outside, playing in the yard. I peaked out the window and he had a wrapping paper tube with him and he was playing Darth Vader and making light saber noises - it was cute! Anyway - I got back to cleaning and a little bit later I start believing I have inhaled WAY too much cleaning product fumes because I am sure I was in the deep woods and there were buggling elk everywhere! My son had turned the wrapping paper roll into an elk call!!! lol --- and to tell you the truth - he was damn good at it! My hubby and his friend took notice too! We think we are going to enter my son into the elk calling contest at the local Sportsman's Warehouse in July!

Just wanted to share!

Bitch session - have to vent


Ok - I am having a day - no, wait, scratch that - I am having a freakin hell of a time lately and I have to vent.
Here is what is happening - and it is all stress and hopefully all will be well soon.
As we know - I work for an OB/GYN office. The lady who runs the office is a nice enough woman - hell, she gave me a chance when I needed one. But I am finding myself really irritated with her lately. I am not sure what the hell happened. A little background real quick - about a month ago, when my boss lady found out I was wanting to move - she tried to sell me her house. Granted - it is a nice house - but it is WAY out of my price range. I turned her down (even after she said she would work an amazing deal for me). I think I pissed her off. SOOOOOO - last week - I heated up some left over potatoes and part of an omelet for my breakfast. Boss lady comes out of her office with her nose in the air and stating something smells. When she found out it was my food - I got an air freshner in my office and the door shut. Yeah -it was great. Staying of the food issue - it happened again this morning. Only this time - she was more of a bitch and told me I need to eat in the back next time. Now - everyone else in this office said one of two things (1) that smells good or (2) I don't really smell anything. Another side note - EVERYONE ELSE IN THIS FREAKING OFFICE CAN EAT AT THEIR DESK - WTF IS WRONG WITH MY FOOD????

Ok - issue #2
I am "supposed" to be working on cleaning up the billing issues and outstanding claims for this office. There are hundreds of claims involved. I am only one person. In order to research these claims - 99% of the time you have to call the insurance companies and sit on hold forever before talking to a human being. The other 1% of the time - you can get the info you need online. I am currently researching two claims and have been on-hold for 15+ minutes. multiply this out - and you can see where I am coming from. Ok - now - take into consideration that I have become the front desk filler-in bitch. The lady who is watching the front desk right now is usually a medical assistant but her doc left the practice in December. In order to keep her job, they offered her the front desk. Any guesses on how many days a week she is actually AT the front desk? In a typical week - 2. There is one other lady who helps fill in - but any guesses of how many days I end up at the front desk? At least 2. I can't be on-hold with an insurance company AND check people in - there is no way. SOOOOOO - that cuts my days at my desk down considerably. Wanna know what happened yesterday???? Boss lady comes into my office, shuts the door and starts "I know I keep giving you things to do - but - - -" (Now nothing good can come out of this statement - you know that right?) She hands me a spreadsheet with over 350 claims on it, all of them are over 90 days old, and she tells me she needs them all researched by May 31st. WTF???? Who does she think I am? I am done - I am burnt.

Add all this crap to my personal life - and I am not impressed and not at all in the mood to pretend that I am.

Wisdom by Dove Chocolates

We have this drug representative who comes into the medical office I work in. When he comes in (smelling mighty fine I might add) - he is here to talk up the medications he works for and he gives out Dove Chocolates. I get two each time and have saved some of the wrappers! I want to share with you now - WISDOM BY DOVE (and NO - I do have nothing betters things to do - I just don't wanna) - lol!!!

  • Smile. People will wonder what you've been up to
  • Sometimes one smile means more than a dozen roses.
  • Hey, why not.
  • Do what feels right.
  • Don't think about it so much.
  • Keep the promises you make to yourself.
  • Make someday today.
  • Go to your special place
  • And my personal favorite: When two hearts race - both win.
