OMG...I totally don't know where my brain is today. I am going to blame it on sleep deprivation and stress and being so fricken cold in this office that every muscle hurts (yes, I'm blaming THAT on the cold and not my age or the fact that I don't exercise--shut up). So, I was brought a list of lunch orders this morning and asked to place the order. I do this on a regular basis so this isn't a big deal at all. Although there are LOTS of places to eat in Montgomery, there aren't too many places that deliver, so it's usually either Chappy's or Steak-Out for this crew. When they answer the phone, we go over ALL of the who, what, when, where and all of that before we get to the order. Then, I'm on the third order down and I say that So & So wants Steak-Tips (med well) w/ blah, blah, blah.... and he says, "We don't have steak tips." I pause, looking at the list that everyone wrote with steak tips and I'm like..."You don't have STEAK TIPS?" And he goes, "We have Steak Teriyaki but no Steak TIPS." And STILL not realizing what the crap I've done...I'm like..."But we order them ALL the time!" And then, I go...."OMG...can I call you back?" And he's like, "Are you sure?" And I'm like...."Yeah...positive. I'm SO sorry." It went a little smoother when I called Steak-Out. Think I got a new gray hair out of that one. Someone must have swapped out my regular coffee with decaf or something today and payback's a b*tch!

Neurologist's Stupid Question Shenanigans
June 26, 2012
If you don't like TMI, skip this one and I apologize if my language upsets you. No, actually, I'm not that sorry. It's not that bad.
So, I go to my neurologist the other day for a checkup because he won't renew my prescriptions--I discover this when I'm OUT and at the pharmacy to pick them up for the following month. In case you didn't know, it's not a real good idea to stop cold turkey or skip blood pressure meds or most any med for that matter. Anyway, I'm finally in front of my doctor and he is, as usual, asking me the same questions that the nurse has already asked me and noted down my answers. Then he throws in another question that kinda pissed me off a little. He asked, "Do you still menstruate?" I'm like....seriously? Don't you have my stupid chart in front of you with all that crap on it? And how fking old does it say I AM? A few weeks ago, a dude in the liquor store is looking at me like I'm not even the person on my driver's license and said I looked awful young to be born in 19## and yesterday a couple of my younger co-workers were floored when they found out my age. But, this wonderful doctor who sees LOTS of people daily and knows their ages is asking me, "Do you still menstruate?" Yes, mother fker, I still menstruate.
P.S.--I was just asked if this was about me cause they thought it was one of those "funny e-mails you just send around". Yeppers, unfortunately, it's a true story, about me.
