So firsts things first...The Sister, got a haircut (by salon) and her first dye job (by me). And no it wasn't brown, red or blonde. It was blue, purple and pink. No, I'm not kidding. We always knew The Sister would be her own person from the very beginning. She was colicky for 6 months straight. So we knew she was a tough one. The teenage years are here. I told her that before she starts school (she is home-schooled by my mom) she should get a real haircut. Meaning, no more just straight off the bottom, I meant layers and all that good stuff. Then...she mentioned about color. At first it was going to be 2 colored streaks underneath her hair, like peek-a-boo streaks. Then it kind of snowballed into 6 streaks all over her head. So she now has colored hair. Still brown, but in the sun...HELLO! Mom was surprisingly ok with it. I went through a color phase and none of them ended well. So that's why I did The Sister's myself. It came out pretty good and she loves it.
Next, I have some patient stories. Where should I start?? Oh, ok. Here's one. So, we're a pretty busy
office, patients sometimes wait up to an hour to see the Dr. So, they will complain and complain about the waiting. Part of my job is to #1 keep them happy and #2 get them in a room as fast as possible. After the patients wait and complain, I will call them into a room and ask if they will be doing any sort of therapy before the Dr. comes in to see them. They say yes, so I go and get what I need to start. Then, they get all set up and I'm about to hook them up when..."I'm sorry, I have to go to the bathroom." I unhook them, they get up and go to the restroom. Really, people? Really?? You just waited an hour and you couldn't have gone then?? Please don't say you're a surgeon! You would be baffled at how many times this happens, it's kind of ridiculous. But, I can't say, "Well, hold it until you're done!" Nope. I have to say, with a full smile in tact, "Of course!!!!! Go right ahead!!! Let me just take the pack off!! And the pads!!! And help you off the table!! Sure, go right ahead, I'll be here waiting for you!!" People. You're adults. Control your bladder.
Then there are the other interesting questions and quotes, like these:
"Do I have to lay down? I will ruin my eyelash extensions if I do." Well, we wouldn't want that, would we??
"Can I have the therapy on my head??" Um, no.
"Hello? Oh, hi Jodi! No, no I have time to talk!" *waves me off* "Oh, really?? You're kidding! Oh, no, I'm just at the doctors." Are ya serious right now??
"Do I have to fill this out?" Your medical history form? Yes. Unless you want to die, because we put you on electric stimulation therapy and you have metal pins in your back.
"Darn it! Hold on one second, my brand new boobs are making this very difficult for me to lay down." Sure. I'll just wait for you...and your 'new boobs'.
Last, but not least. FREE STUFF! I love free stuff! Don't you!? Did you know you could get free stuff in regular retail stores?? Well, boy do I know! I go to this website called Hip2Save.com and she (Collin) is a fantastic couponer! She posts both online and in-store deals! It cra-zay!
So this weekend, I got:
A ream of copy paper
2 spiral notebooks
A mini whiteboard and marker
Perfume
Headbands
All for FREE! Didn't pay a cent for any thing. You should try it. It's fun. And addicting. But who cares? You're getting it for free! If someone told me one year ago that I would be getting feminine products, razors, perfume, make-up, food, gifts, school supplies and clothes for free, I would have laughed in their face. You need to check her site out! It really is amazing what you can get for free when you know what you're doing. One time, I got this super amazing free item...are you ready? Are you sitting down? Comfortable?
Too bad. I have to go to the bathroom.
You crack me up! Honestly, I didn't see that "cliffhanger" coming.
