my doctor is considered in our area as one of the best internists around. but his methods are very odd. he'll tell you what he thinks but ultimately allows you to determine your own path to solving it. He's not like a "you neeeed to do this" he's like "well do you want to take care of it? do you want to see a specialist?"

my wife when she moved here, has seen him a few times and she hates it. quite frankly all the women i know that see him or have seen him hate him. All the guys i know? love it.

so theres that. i'm currently in the "you aren't young but you aren't old either" stage where he wants me to get baselines for everything. I did a stress test because he thought it was important to have one at near 40 to just get a baseline on your arteries and heart stuff. my wife was like this is unnecessary! and refused hers. i did have minor blockage.

i have no inkling to switch but he is also pretty old. no idea how long he's going to stick with it.

I joke with you cat people a lot.

I hired a new admit on January 1. It is still an employer's market, just to set some context. She took the afternoon off on Friday unannounced to adopt a cat. She sent an e-mail on Monday morning saying she didn't know what time she would be in, if at all, because her cat was sick. She left on Tuesday only notifying one of the secretaries because of the cat.

Now we have to have words. I didn't get into law to manage people. I have a laid back approach with the professional staff as long as the work is getting completed and completed well. That just isn't an acceptable reason to me, especially for a person who has built up no equity at this place.

It also pisses me off taking the weasel move of notifying the secretary, as it was completely calculated.

i have cats, and they generally serve their purpose as varmit killers. thats as far as my attachment goes. we have a lady who took a day off for her dogs birthday. but we also have had developers take multiple days to visit Second Life marriage ceremonies.

What the fuck is a Second Life marriage ceremony?

JORR was right about everything god damn it.

JORR was right that an oiled airplane foot rub - across the aisles no less - would be more tolerable if one of the parties was wearing a suit coat?

WTF! I would say something, seriously.

I'd stop it unless it looked like it was going to lead to some heavy petting in public. If that is the case, I'd just stare

I blame you for asking because now I know what it is too. Thanks, jerkwagon.

I saw a guy getting a hand job when I was in the upper level of a late-night Metra. Over the clothes.

I knew the woman. We got on the same train every morning. Felt bad for her.

I have a backup, tailgating grill but I was too lazy to get it out. It was just burgers so I went to the stove. Still disappointing.
