Chaos

Chaos: a state in which one may experience massive confusion and often discomfort.

No, i didn't just join a dictionary definition league, that is just how i would define the word at the moment. Thanks to the Tower of Babel event, I got to experience my own bit of chaos today. Allow me to share.... I was given a list of patients to call to reschedule their doctor's appointment, which had been bumped. I call one and the mom answered first, then handed the phone the the father. I explained why i was calling and that we needed to reschedule. I explained this in what seemed simple terms, having to repeat myself several times. The man spoke English pretty well, but his comprehension did not quite match.

Finally i asked if we could get an interpreter to help us, and thankfully he agreed to it. I got a interpreter on the line and it was really interesting to listen to. With my background noise plus the patient AND interpreter's it was difficult to tell when the interpreter had finished and was talking to me. He had a thick accent so it was almost hard to tell when he stopped speaking his native tongue and began in English! Anyway, it was cool and interesting but TRICKY all at once.
It was rather chaotic, and something very simple turned out to be rather complicated and...chaotic.

I used to think 'chaos' was supposed to be read 'chaw-ose', silly huh? I distinctly remember thinking this while reading a Babysitter's Club book about Claudia, 'wonder what that word means?!' Then one day it finally dawned on me, DUH! That's how you spell chaos!

One of the greatest inventions

One of the greatest inventions known to man has got to be toilet seat covers.  Really, they are great and I am so grateful for them.  You can also use the middle part to dab at your oily face if necessary (before putting it on the seat, obviously.). 

 

While on this subject, can I just say that one of the most heart stopping experiences is when you are sitting on the porcelain throne and someone bursts in?!?!  Enough to give someone a minor heart attack.  Or even if they just try to open the door and in a panic you check to make sure you indeed remembered to lock it, and to your relief it is locked.

Blahging Marathon Lunch Hour

I've lost count of how many posts I've done today.....and mostly during my lunch hour (minus the half hour or so I spent eating, so actually it was more of a what's-left-of-my-lunch-hour-blahging-marathon). Are you impressed? I just had all these random ideas today and figured I out to let em ought and jot them down before I forgot.

I realize I have not posted much lately and this is because I really have not had much to say that wouldn't have been overly personal (ok I kinda want to stay away from my blog turning into a public journal/diary), revealing, boring or depressing. This blog is mundane and unremarkable, sorry. I'm not crafty, I haven't gone on any cool trips. I don't have any super amazing skills. I do have a lot of drama sometimes....but I am saving that for my reality tv show that I will never do (I have been told by a couple people that I ought to have my own tv show, why this is so I utterly cannot fathom. Like I said, my blog=unremarkably bland..
