  work was pointless today. i did a lot of work early which left me twiddling my thumbs until 2 p.m. i finally asked if i could go home. no one was in the office due to the holiday. we did close a $5 mil job today which makes everyone happy!
i got a new cell phone today. yea! i'm not technologically challenged any longer. so if you need my number email me and through a series of tests, including blood and urine and an extensive credit check i may give it to you. by the way, i mentioned earlier this week that i was going to the doctor. i failed to give the update so here it is: my new physician is a man who is a towering 6'11" and thats his width. when the nurse walked me into the exam room to get some basic information and vitals she asked if i would be using doctor ross* for my "feminine needs". i glanced at the walls that were covered in sports memorabilia and autographed photos of athletes and coaches and said "i'm not sure i feel comfortable with bear bryant and tiger woods watching". she chuckled and walked out of the room, leaving the door open. now, it may just be me, and i may have only been there to meet dr. ross, but i'm pretty sure you don't leave exam room doors ajar for other patients and staff to walk by and see you. after a few moments, the doctor walks in and abruptly states, "i don't see anything in your chart that tells me why you are here".
i explain to him that i only wanted to establish a patient/doctor relationship and get my medical record in their files. as he is scribbling in my chart i notice that he too has left the door open. he began to ask standard, yet personal questions about me and i felt i had to whisper so that the high school quarterback in the adjacent room wouldn't hear that i am on birth control. regardless, dr. ross does write me a years prescription for zoloft, which is easier to obtain than going to a doc-in-the-box.
i'm ready for the weekend! a couple of parties, a bbq, and i'm getting my new couch! i'll fill you in on how it all goes. correction: the girl i work with whose sister's boyfriend was killed was falsely stated as dying in a wreck. he was actually killed in iraq. sorry.
