Procrastination, one of lifes great wonders

Being as amazing as I am, I have a vast many talents. However, none of which I master as well as the art of procrastination. I'm a black belt, gold medalist, chief, queen, master, savant, commander, guru, sultan of procrastination.

To illustrate things I have procrastinated on this week alone:
1. Blood tests
2. Dermatologist visit
3. My 35 page research paper that is due Tuesday and I've had all semester to do
4. Mailing my sister her birthday present which was Nov 6 (I made this gift while I was busy procrastinating my paper)
5. Cleaning my room
6. Washing my car
7. Booking my hotel for the bar in Tampa which was suggested to be done in early September. (But I did do this today so I'm officially no longer procrastinating about this)
8. Writing my Christmas letter
9. Updating my address book so I can mail my Christmas letter
10. Studying for finals
11. Working out
12. Studying for the bar exam
13. Kayaking


And instead of doing any of these things, what might you ask am I doing? Writing this blog of course. So in the spirit of the Holidays I am offering my services to anyone who needs help procrastinating. I will either help you procrastinate or can will allow you to shadow me during any one of my amazing procrastination filled days.

Happy Procrastinating!!

Can someone please explain the concept of a Dr.'s Appointment to me?

I had an appointment with the rheumatologist today. The appointment itself was scheduled for 11:30AM. Like a good little patient I arrived promptly at 11:30. I was then greeted by a receptionist who asked me four times if my insurance was through work. NO my insurance is through my school. (Another one of the necessary requirements to attending the ridiculously over priced University of Miami). First off you asked for my insurance information before you let me schedule the appointment. If you aren't going to write it down or use it don't ask for it. And second listen to my answer the first, second, or even the third time you ask. Four is completely uncalled for. The appointment only got better from there. I then waited in the lobby until 12:30 when I was finally shown back to a room. I then waited in the room until around 1:15 when the doctor's assistant came to talk to me. I then waited until 2pm before the doctor came to talk to me and ask me the exact same questions his assistant did 45 minutes earlier. What's the point of having your assistant talk to me if you are going to ask me the exact same questions yourself? Maybe it’s just me but I'm seeing a way to streamline the process here...Gee I don't know maybe cut out the middle man.



And the question of the day.... Why schedule me for a 11:30 appointment if you aren't going to see me until 2pm??? Followed closely by...Why am I paying you to wait? Shouldn't you be paying me for all my wasted time?


And what you may ask was the result of my 2 1/2 hour doctor's wait??? Only to be handed a lab script to have 18 different blood tests done so I can return to the doctor's office in three weeks to wait some more. Because you guessed it the hospital (note I said hospital not doctor's office) doesn't do lab work on site and the place they referred me too for lab work closes daily at 3pm. What a racket I should have went to med school instead of law school.

 

I don't every want to get old

My pain is back and its worse.  In fact the first time around I didn't have pain I just had brusies.  This time I don't have brusies but boy do I have pain.  Being my usuall difficult self I have stumped the general practicioner and have been sent on to see a specialist.  It must really suck getting old.  Today my hands hurt so bad that it was painful to open up a pill bottle (I don't know how old people do it sometimes).  Enough about the boring stuff...

I have 2 1/2 weeks of classes left and then about 1 1/2 weeks of finals until I'm DONE with Law School!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, yeah I over did it with the exclamation points but I'm really excited about this fact.  I still don't have a job lined up yet but I got some good news from my work yesterday.  The hiring manager said that it is and I quote "highly likely we will be having fall hiring conferences"  That's good news for me.  I can ace any interview I just need them to hold interviws.  So what that means is that I will probably be staying in Miami following graduation.  Don't worry I've made peace with this.  Miami is a really great city, lots of culture, lots to do.  And the office where I'm hoping to work is one of the best in the country so I will get amazing experience and training.  The only down side about staying is the Gosh Darn Miami weather.   Is it too much to ask for some snow????

I also had two interviews in DC a couple of weeks ago and those both went well.  My Navy IV went amazing but I have a sneaky suspicion that my current medical issues will disqualify me for service.  (Who needs a soldier that can move with out sharp pains??  Seriously?)  The other IV was for a position in NYC which I would absolutely adore!!!!  But if I get that job I wouldn't start until September of 2010 and since I went to a private school I gots me some loans to repay now.

If you have continued to read this far, congrats.  I was rambling there for awhile.  For those that are/were interested that is pretty much the major happenings of my life right now.

Oh and the YANKESS WON IN 6.   THERE BACK!!!!
