It looks like I have fallen into the blogging trap I’ve seen others fall into: that of not blogging at all because it’s too overwhelming to catch up with one’s self. So I shall do my best to rectify the situation, although looking ahead schedule-wise, I question my success in this endeavor. [...]

A Little Mourning
Posted in Work on September 29, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
My last day of work at the HC is tomorrow. What an oddity to be able to look forward to something so much and at the same time dread it equally as much. It’s been almost five months since I gave my notice at the beginning of May. We have had such a lot of [...]
Three Miles From Home

I was three miles from home and about twenty miles from work last Friday before I realized I had forgotten to put a payment in the mail at the office that absolutely had to go out by the 15th. If it was late, in fact, we would be subject to penalties. Argh.I was so not [...]
Hiring Isabel

Isabel came to see me again yesterday. “Kris, I need to talk to you,” she said.
As it turns out, she is now in need of a new bicycle, and therefore, is also in need of “a job” for the summer. She told me her daddy had said that he would hire her and increase [...]
Demoted

Isabel’s mother came into the office the other day. She was borrowing Isabel’s cell phone for some reason (yes, she’s 8 and has a cell phone). She came and showed me the list of Isabel’s contact numbers. Remember John? Yes, she’s still got him on her contact list, but he’s no longer listed as “John.” [...]
Skunk Hair and Aging

Today we had the “pleasure” of having Ms. Celia come in for her usual monthly appointment. No one–and I repeat, no one–is fond of Celia, and we don’t exactly look forward to her monthly visits. Celia has caused quite a bit of drama in our office in the past, and she is the type of [...]
A Dog in Mourning

Our receptionist is out on vacation this week, so that means I’m out at the front desk a lot. As a result, I have more interaction with the patients than I usually do. “Polly” and “Annie,” two of our patients who happen to be sisters, came in today for their regular checkups. Polly lost her [...]
Little People Fall in Love Too

Isabel came to visit me again today. “I don’t know if I should even tell you this,” she said.
“You know you can tell me anything, Isabel,” I replied, barely looking up from my work.
She indicated that she was very sad these days and then proceeded to tell me why. “I know you’re going [...]
Like Dolls in a Dollhouse

My boss’s daughter Isabel is eight years old. She often comes into my office to see me and tells me all about all of her theories on life. This last Friday, she was in a particularly good mood. Her older brother Mason left to go to Virginia for three weeks, and she feels like a [...]
Humpty Dumpty’s Broken Leg

One day earlier this week was a particularly long and drawn-out day. Lori (receptionist) had called in sick with a headache, so that meant that Kris got to spend the day out front, and therefore, her own work was put on the shelf… again. Anyway, Dr. G was in Pokey Mode that day, and it [...]
