Hey! This is my 1000th post here! ;D
Drag~ I would love to kick your dentist squarely in the balls, while you hold him for me.
Aren't there any laws over there regarding this type of discrimination towards HIV+ people? If that shit happened in the US, it wouldn't fly. I've had trouble before at labs where an assistant announced to the entire lobby for me to take a seat, and then said "they will call you back for your HIV test soon." :o I think she was looking at me, not expecting in a million years that I was already pos and widowed at the time. This was in the late 90s.
I was mortified then because 20 people were in the waiting room with me. I promptly told my doctor about the incident, and he had a reputation for being a hard ass but otherwise getting the job done. The doc wrote a formal letter of complaint to the lab, which has locations all over the US. It was a riot! To this day I remember that woman's name and face, but I have not seen her since. I go to different labs now since my insurance has changed.
Is there anything you can do, Drag? That stupid shit dentist! I'll post more after I get breakfast! Grrrr! >:(
OK, I'm back.....BT~ I'm sorry you have to shell out so much for your car during the holidays. I hope the mechanics get it fixed right the first time! Congrats on not smoking! Just don't do it, lol!
Drag~ As far as the Middle east talks, I haven't heard but I think they may be taking place at Camp David. Its only a few miles from me. I have heard that everyone is in Annapolis today. Its the most beautiful place in the world, where I spent summers with my dear Grandmother. This is the grandmother whose platter I found and used for Thanksgiving Dinner. :) We see the President's helicopters fly over all the time to Camp David near my home.
Viv~ The dreaded parent confs. Sometimes I bet its hard enough to get the parents in the door to discuss "junior." It will make for some long days for you. I know I wouldn't have the strength. Good luck!
Call out to Cam and Sunseeker, you girls have been quiet. Are you OK?
One last thing, I received another email yesterday from PPP's payroll people (say that three times fast). They sent the one link that was missing from everything, and then also said paperwork was still missing. I am thinking this crossed yesterday afternoon, as I finally got the entire bundle of paperwork to submit electronically. I still have to go to my dad's office again today to print and fax this last item that they left out.
So far, I was offered the job via telephone on fri 11/16. Mon 11/19 I went for a drug screen. Tuesday I faxed, Weds I faxed, Weds I sent an email of complaint to all parties involved, Thursday I rec'd a nasty email reply from PPP, I left voice mails and an email on Friday saying I still wanted the job, Monday I faxed more and today I will fax more. Whew!
Iceman says they should have already started paying me, since I have jumped through all of these hoops. His walk-through has been switched to this evening, so he is getting off work early to come see me, and we'll go get the dishwasher first.
Oh good, the Homeowner's Association just called and will be removing the trees that were cut down on 11/7. The power company cut down two 15-foot cypress trees and no one has come to get them. The HOA lady loves me, so she is sending someone out today. Too bad the wind is blowing 30mph, those guys are going to be hating getting those trees!
One of my Redskins died last night after being shot in Florida. Taylor, #21..... :'(
OK, time to call PPP, who's voice mail always cuts me off.
