Daily Rant - Thursday Edition

Huge headache today, tylenol will not budge this sucker, and my morning clients ( one family) rescheduled last minute to next week, now I have to kill time till my afternoon clients come in.Grrrr

Trying to negotiate a stupid conflict (a non issue, but an idiotic turf war) between competing departments via email. (I'm 2 1/2 weeks out from surgery and still taking time off.)  I want to send both department chairs to their rooms until April 1. Other than that, nothing.  My recovery has been painless and stress-free -- no trouble getting in my liquids and protein. Deirdre

So did you think you were going to get away from that when you moved from KY?  *EDIT* to say that this is directed towards Terri

I ate chicken for lunch that wasn't sitting too well, but I was handling myself. Then the lady who sits behind me called a bakery to order a cake. I had to make a mad dash for the bathroom.

muh head hurts its freezing in my office its gorgeous outside and I am stuck inside *sigh*

Thanks and sorry for hijacking this a bit. I'm going to the nutrional classes at the bariatric center- I called and asked if i still needed to see my PCP because, after all, the nutritionist and their classes would seem to have the most up to date info. Insurance co lady says she doesn't know- so I ask" what do you mean? You guys made this requirement". She replies- I'll have to check it out and get back in touch cause none of the other programs I manage have this stipulation. So in the meantime, I pay out of pocket for my classes and my Drs co-pay..... STUPID INSURANCE COMPANY!!!!!!!!!   And in the meantime, I am reading everything I can get my hands on,  including going to 3 support classes each month. I'm so ready to have this surgery. I'm tired of being so unhealthy and fat. I need this tool and I feel like they just want to set you up to fail... Whew- thanks I feel better! 

I'm with you on the allergy rant, Terri! Freaking OAK, PINE, RAGWEED -- all blooming and all at the same time. I'm off the scale (i.e., on a scale of 1-7, I'm a 12) for all three of those.

What's even worse is I haven't had a major allergy attack in at least 3 years now so it was so unexpected when it hit me suddenly last Friday and it hasn't let up since.

The worst part is I'll have to go to Austin, where the allergens will be different, this weekend so my body is going to be going haywire on pine and cedar over there. Blech!

Mike and his pal Ike I haven't had too many problems "resisting" - really there haven't been any cravings, so nothing to resist. But this wench in the office just brought in what looks like 10 lbs of mike & ike's and put them in a candy dispenser 5 feet from my desk. I can SMELL them. *****

I think it's time to sweep by her desk and "accidentally" knock the cannister to the floor.  Ooops, Mike and Ike fell to their death.
