So, I have pink eye now...

which is pretty cool. I'm hoping tomorrow to contract chicken pox and on Sunday, maybe I can lose another of my baby teeth and leave it for teh tooth fairy. Hoo-hah!

But anyway, I went to the doctor this morning, you know, to fix my unsightly, highly contagious condition. Now, as I had not expected to contract pink eye, because I'm not 8, I didn't have the forsight to make an appointment at the doctor's office. Which I thought would be fine, because they could turn me away if they didn't have any room.

But that wouldn't be good enough for the nurse who helped me. She called my name and abruptly walked away. Then, when she was weighing me (light-heavy middle weight), she mentioned the doctor wouldn't be in for 20 minutes ...because I showed up without an appointment.

I said I hadn't planned on getting pink eye, and that if I had known I was going to get it, I would have for sure made an appointment, at least two weeks in advance and brought a note from the principal saying it was okay if I got medicine to cure my ailment.

Apparently she didn't like my joking around, because she let me sit there for two and a half hours before the doctor came in for 8 seconds, said "yep, pink eye" popped out a prescription and sent me on my way.

Moral of the story...that nurse with the smelly feet sucks in more ways than one...
