Let's get Random (Wednesday)

No randoms yet?

T-3 weeks until we go to Denver for a long weekend. I'm pumped.

Also DH wants Chickafilet as his "reward" for doing his SA so he's taking me to lunch today. He's so nervous about it. But I'm just excited for nuggets and Chickafilet sauce.

[youdontsay]

starbuck27, that sounds like such a fun vacation!!! Also, what is a fried pie???

rooskie, Yay for Chick-Fil-A, MH had it for the first time last week, he loved it. I used to eat it a lot when I live in Florida because it was cheap, I forgot how good the basic sandwiches are. Good luck with his SA! I should start telling MH he needs to reward himself after his too.

Nothing much going on today, just work. So exciting, I know. I'm actually going to start packing tonight for this weekend, so I guess that's exciting. I haven't seen my parents since 4th of July weekend, so it'll be good to see them again.

MH and I also talked about making a 5 year plan to move down south, so I'm so pumped that he's on board with that.

I finally got DH to agree to take a short vacation. Looks like we are going to Blue Ridge in a few weeks! Hiking, kayaking, and apparently there's an apple orchard that has fried pies.

It's been too long since I've had a fried pie. Far too long.

So is this like one piece of pie that is fried? Or a whole pie?  I've never heard of this!!

youdontsay, to make a fried pie, you take a smaller round of pie crust. You put in some pie filling, fold it in half, deep fry it, and drizze some icing or sprinkle a little sugar on it. Then stuff your face and weep at how amazing it is.

I need that now.

I need this in my face now.

I'm pretty convinced my co-worker hates me. Or at least severely dislikes me. It's been an strained relationship since we first started.

We had a team lunch yesterday for a birthday (4 of us), and I said something and she gave me this look.. So I joked and told her to go ahead and say what she was thinking, since I knew she had thoughts on it. And it was just harsh. I'd rather have it out in the open and laugh about it than have her thinking/talking about it behind my back but.. yeah.

[requiressnacks]

I've been on a pretty strict diet the past few weeks and that pie makes me drool.

I also want mac & cheese today. There are so many things I'm craving.

[summerdonna]

starbuck27, that looks absolutely delicious!

I'm working from home today and don't have much to do so I am watching some Parks and Rec.

Boo. Sorry your coworker is one of those people.

Trying to transfer my RN license from MA to VT. It has been a painful process I started MONTHS ago. I think I finally finished all of their ridiculous requirements. FX they process everything by the 14th for me to start my job.

Hmm....i don't know what's worse - my coworker can't stand me, but she's fake as shit to my face.

Either way, that sucks that she was so harsh in a public setting. Do you work closely together?

[rooskie]

youdontsay - he said he wanted a milkshake specifically. I'm all "if that's all it takes pick your flavor".

How long does it normally take to get the results back? We are taking it to the REs office that is inside/shares labs with a hospital.

We have a four person department. Head of department is out 90% of the time, so 3 of us. We go days without talking. It's.. weird. She has refused to train me on certain things, so if I say "oh, I need to do XYZ, can you show me how?" (new company has veeeeeeeeeery different ways of doing things than the old one does) she'll just say that I don't need to bother with it and do it for me. And I'm sure after the fourth time, she starts just thinking I'm lazy and not doing it.. but she never showed me.

I'm making cheesesteaks for dinner and its all I can think about.

Kitten keeps trying to steal my pancakes.

My student just asked me what Chipotle was and why everyone talks about it. I told her what it is but also admitted i have never been to it...

Great, now I want a milkshake!

El oh el on getting SA results back, here's our story:

My gyn writes an order to the closest RE for a SA, so MH goes in and they tell them that my gyn will get the results on our computer system in 7 days. So we wait, and wait and wait some more. I finally call my gyn's office, and her secretary goes "on, Dr. So and So doesn't use that computer system." MH had to go to medical records himself (thankfully, I work in the organization, so I knew where to go, etc.", it wasn't until two weeks after that (and us kind of knowing the results) that my gyn called back and sent MH in for a 2nd SA.

MH goes in for a second SA and they tell him the same thing, this time MH was like "screw it, I'll go to med recs myself and get the results". At this time, we had an appointment with an RE set up and we knew it would take FOREVER to hear back from my gyn. We STILL haven't heard back from my gyn about the second SA. At this point, I think she figured we went to an RE.

The final SA was last month at our RE's office and they also did a cryopreservation as a backup, they told MH since we're doing IVF with ICSI not to worry about numbers at this point, but I'll probably ask at my baseline appointment. I know they forwarded the 3rd SA to the urologist MH has to see at the end of the month, but we know it's going to be another low number and I don't want MH to get upset.

Funny story too, the first two SA appointments, the room had a DVD player and DVDs but someone stole the actual DVDs out of the boxes, so I used to joke around with MH and told him to stop stealing the DVDs. After his SA at the RE, he calls me and goes "I can't catch a break." I'm thinking the worse and he goes "I go to this place and they have DVDs but no DVD player, I'm glad I brought your iPad."

So yeah, MH used my iPad for movies.....

TL;DR: find where you can get a copy of his SA and get it yourself if you want number fast.

I have no response except...



she sucks.

[requiressnacks]

youdontsay, nurse at the place where MH got his SA done said they are a "real problem" with men stealing the materials! LOL I don't really udnerstand that. And doesn't everyone just look at p0rn on their device nowadays? And she also told me how it was someone's job to keep the DVD's and magazines stocked. haha.


rooskie - it took us a couple weeks to get the results back. Not because they took that long, just because this place sucked and was super inefficient. If you don't hear in 5 days I would call.

[teraiin]

I'm really hungry. I think I'll move to hangry before lunch...

I take a commuter shuttle to work and one of the nurses on there used to be the supply stocker for the RE affiliated with the big university in our area.

At the RE, MH said there was a barcode or something on the DVDs with a warning that said if you took it out of the room, an alarm would go off. I told him next time to throw it out like a frisbee to see what happened. Maybe then they would bring him a DVD player.

I read this as "cheesecakes" at first and I decided you're my idol. Cheesesteaks is almost as good, but not quite idol worthy.

This is a thing. More like a Swiffer with a mind of its own but still better than mopping yourself!

Great, now I want cheesecakes too!

We just got three cords of wood delivered. DNW to stack it.

[rooskie]

youdontsay - that sounds like a fun experience. DH is doing his at our house then picking me up from work and driving over there so no DVD issues. I guess I'll ask about HIPPA forms too so everything can be released to me. I want to get the results before next cycle just so we know before my HSG.

I told him I need to start a journal with all of this so we can hopefully look back and joke about it.

[notagoddess]

Aaahhh I just had a phone interview. It went fine, but not great. The main guy was a hardass, and they didn't try to be friendly at all! I didn't humiliate myself or anything, but I didn't come off as confident and capable as I could have.

And now I want that fried pie. There is a 100% chance of fattening baked goods being devoured today.
