Got your attention, didn’t I?

Yesterday was my annual mammogram and ultrasound. And after all those tests, the specialist checked me out as well. That’s what happens after you get a finding, from here on out, you have a team of doctors regularly checking your boobies.

And I’m delighted to inform the entire internet you that I am fine. As in all good, see you next year fine.

Whew!

Me too.

Happy Holidays, my backside ;-)

I’m guessing it’s probably due to a combination of my upbringing and my production background. Very few companies, corporations, or bureaucracies can intimidate me. I know how to work the system, (and get around the idiots people who slow me down.)

I think I’ve met my match though. These people almost brought me to my knees last week due to misinformation, unlimited paperwork, nonstop contradictory statements, endless lines, ridiculous requests, and complete insanity.

“Welcome my friends to Death Match 2008! Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce the winner and still champion!

…The New York DMV!!!”

The DMV employees smile gleefully while they do their victory dance around the ring. The motley crowd applauds wildly, as Lisa B. holds her hands to her face in gesture of defeat.

“Thanks for playing, Lisa B.! Who’s wants to face off next against the mighty DMV? Come see if you can beat the system!”

(ok, so I did finally get my paperwork resolved, but damn what a clusterf*ck.)

Do you know people who are simply too stupid to live? OK, maybe not that extreme, but these folks apparently never seem to have a clue?

They remind me of a turkey who will literally drown drown in the rain, because it’s too dumb to close his mouth, (beak?)

I frequent various message boards and I am constantly amazed at the bonehead things that are posted. For example, “do you think being 200 pounds overweight affects my health?” Um, what part of DUH isn’t clear?

Please tell me some of your most annoying experiences with these people. And how do you deal respond?

A) Shake them until their teeth hurt

B) Suffer in silence

C) Tell them they are boneheads

D) Turn on PBS

E) Other (please explain)

In the meantime I’m busy fighting off a gnarly bacterial infection that chose to settle in my throat, (directly on my gland for those who like hearing the gory details,) thus making it hard to swallow. Lucky me! My lovely ear/nose/throat doctor just prescribed a week’s worth of horse pill antibiotics. The good news is that he said they will work quickly, in approximately 72 hours or so. I have no idea how I got this extremely unwelcome visitor, but I’m guessing that mass transit, (plane, subway, and or bus,) didn’t help.

GRRRRR.

****Updated as I watch the parade on tv…. YAY GIANTS!!!

Ally was wearing an e-collar due to her annual end of summer itchies allergies. I heard a weird noise and I peeked in the other room. The pup was trying to get at something. At first I thought it was a bug but then I saw a tail AND IT WASN’T ALLY’S!

It was a mouse. In my apartment. Facing off with my dog.

I screamed. Then I called Ally over to me and she reluctantly came. I locked her in the bedroom and I called the front desk insisting that the super come up NOW. I checked to make sure Ally was ok while I watched the mouse. At first I thought it was dead and freaked out wondering if Ally’s rabies shot was up to date, (it was.) Then I saw the mouse start to walk around. I called the front desk for the second time in four minutes and the super came up immediately. He caught the mouse in one of my old chinese food takeout containers and took him away. Meanwhile I was completely undone. I have never had a rodent in my home before and I didn’t like it! I’ve heard about them being in people’s New York apt.’s but this was my first. GROSS!!!

I sprayed down the area where the mouse visited with disinfectant and eventually my heartbeat went back to normal. I did however spend the next few days wondering if the mouse had friends and relations. Every time I heard a noise I ran to check it out.

*shudders*

My apologies to Stuart Little but if he had been in my apartment he would have been toast. Shrimp toast.
