Day from Hell ...

Do any of you remember this book from childhood? Well, this was my day today! It was an AWFUL day! You name it and it happened. As I was working through my lunch break trying to restore computers, I was trying to remember why I like my job. I was reminded of an experience I had at work a few months ago. 

We have a patient who we will call Stacy. She came in one day with a toothache and her 80 something year old Granny accompanying her. As I was checking Stacy out her Granny was on the cell phone in front of my coworkers desk. I got her co-pay and gave her a prescription. As they walked out my co-worker heard Granny say "Don't worry about getting anything. Stacy just scored us some Lortab."  WHAT??? Who knew Granny was a druggie?! We laughed so hard.

To make my day better I pampered myself. So thank you to Yen for the HEAVENLY hot stone pedicure, to Magelby's for the coconut mahi mahi and to the bathroom radio station for playing the theme song from The Greatest American Hero while I was doing my business. Nothing makes my spirits soar more then singing "Believe it or not, I'm walking on air" while washing my hands.

Who plays the Greatest American Hero theme song in the bathroom?! Great, now that song is stuck in my head! I hope you write these work stories down somewhere--I wish I could remember so many of the ones I had from ye olde animal hospital!
