Crap. You know I'm a sucker for assholes and jerks. I wouldn't call myself that... I'm more of a smart ass and a fracking dick. *sigh* alas I'm a sucker for that too. I'll admit it. oh btw How you doin'?

Like pregnancy? Not exactly what I was thinking of but a good point none the less. True there's also the clap and the hi five.

How you doin'? Evidently as crazy as a Charlie Sheen on binder! I hope you don't mean I'm like Charlie Sheen. I don't drink tiger's blood.

The repeating levels is going to depend on your instructors, DZO and you as a student. You'll have to talk to them about it b/c they are the ones who will make the decision. I agree with the above though. Go make friends @ the DZ & learn about the gear and how to pack it.

I love Pawn Stars! Another recent favorite of mine is Bait Car on TruTV. It's SO funny!

When I get fired at my current job, I'll give you my resume. I could easily go a whole 6 more years not telling people how much they suck. Even have about 10 years experience in it! lol! except you dont want my job. You make a lot more than me right now. Keep your job.

Word! Sad but true. In our defense though, we can't always control our own crazy nor do we understand it. WTF! http://images.icanhascheezburger.com/completestore/2009/3/25/128824685360347784.jpg What? Hell froze over b/c I'm a girl & agree "bitches be crazy"? Jo, meet Shah. Try to not fall in love with him though. Crap. You know I'm a sucker for assholes and jerks.

no I edited it just to fix the formatting not the words. I accidentally deleted a [ so it didn't put the pretty little line. It sounded as if you thought you worked with different people than we do, as if we didn't work with the public. I know we choose to work with the public, but that doesn't mean I have to be happy if a person chooses not to shower. Am I cynical? Towards some of my patients, yes I am. Those are the ones that always lie to us and make up excuses. They "got lost" for 40 minutes even though they've been here several times and are munching on some fresh mickey D's. Lost, uh huh. Sure. But for the most part, I like my patients. They're nice people with cute kids. It's the 15% of my patients that frustrate me so. They basically suck. But I'm not allowed to tell them that b/c it's my job not to. So I deal with it by venting to other people like here. Just because we sound cynical when we vent, doesn't mean we're heartless.

IMO, it's too early. Your suit is an important piece of equipment and can affect how you fly. How loose or baggy it is can affect your fall rate. Personally, I would wait till at least off of AFF to get a better feel for your fall rate. Also, talk to the instructors that you jumped with to find out if you need a certain kind of suit. For instance, if you fall like a rock & they have to arch like a mo' fo' to keep up or wear weights, they'll probably recommend a baggy suit to slow you down. Or if they have to cup air like crazy or wear a giant suit themselves, they may suggest a tight suit to speed you up. Either way, talk to them to get a feel for your fall rate before buying a suit.

What do you mean you work with the public? I'm not quite sure what you're asking? http://www.thefreedictionary.com/public With that as the definition, my job would certainly entail working with the public. (I'm a nurse.) Exactly. Everybody who works in healthcare would work with the public. How does that make who you work with any different than who I work with?

lol. I did that last year too. Totally succeeded too! Fail. shut it!

A guy friend of mine swears by coochy cream. http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&keywords=Coochy%20Cream&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3ACoochy%20Cream&page=1 He says he never gets razor burn & always gets the closest shave.

ooo! also I love it when they come up & say "I need to make a follow up appointment" me: "ok when did you need to come back?" patient: "I dont know. The doctor said something about it, but I forgot" me:"ok..........." If the doctor told you not 2 minutes ago when they wanted to see you again, REMEMBER IT! I wasn't in your appointment. I have no idea when you're supposed to come back. If you can't remember it, write it down.

Agreed. And I try to be polite even when people are yelling at me for things that aren't my fault. I've been on the other side too. I've waited for 40+ minutes for an appointment when I got there early and everything. I've been snapped at by receptionists and been given snippy answers, even when just asking "Where's the bathroom?" at a new office. But I still dont yell at them or curse. I'm not saying everyone does it. But I've been yelled at too many times this week for me to not vent. And Southern Man is right, if that's a consistant thing, you need to go someplace else. If they're always late, that's a problem. Plenty of offices run on time (excluding emergencies). My office is rarely behind and we usually let patients know if something has caused us to run behind. That way you're not sitting there wondering why it's been 30 minutes.

exactly!

It's not that hard for you to make a copy of their card either, and keep it in their records. Oh we have it. I scan cards here every time. We have like 20 copies of your insurance card. But so many people change insurance and never let us know. At least we might catch new insurance it if we ask for your card. If not, you'll get a hefty bill that your new insurance may not want to pay.

lol. I did that last year too. Totally succeed too!

YAY!!!! somebody who knows how to be polite! We have to ask you. It's our job. It sucks, but we have to. I'd ask you even if I already knew your birthdate. Oh your address and phone number too.

Agreed. And I feel terrible when that happens. But often times there is a good reason for it. Sometimes it's part of our staff has called in so we're short staffed. Sometimes we've had an emergency that has taken up more time than expected. Sometimes it's because of all of the late patients that put the doctor behind. And to be honest sometimes it's some dumbass overbooked the schedule. And that sucks when that happens, and it's not fair to you. But keep in mind, it's still not a reason to curse at anyone. Chances are that the reason you have to wait has nothing to do with the person you are cursing or yelling at. This week I have been yelled and cursed at for things that have nothing to do with me. I understand the people are upset and just want to take their anger out on someone, but that's no excuse to be so rude.

but big muscles. big face muscles???

I work in a doctor's office and today is extremely frustrating. Apparently, many of our lovely patients don't understand the rules of a doctor's office, and today it's pissing me off. I just wanted to let everyone know the proper rules for doctor appointments. If you're appointment is at 9:45 and you waltz in at 10:45, you're late. Not only are you late, you may not be seen. Also, at least pretend to be concerned that you are an hour late for an appointment for which you yourself chose the time. If you knew you wouldn't be there till 10:45 don't make your appointment for 9:45. On the opposite side, if you made yourself a 1:00 appointment, please don't come in at 10:30 and expect that the doctor will see you at that time. The doctor has set aside a time for you at 1:00. If the rest of the clinic is full, you won't be seen until 1:00. You are welcome to wait here till 1:00, but you won't be seen till 1:00. Please don't ask every 10 minutes when you will be seen. You know your appointment is at 1:00, so the answer is 1:00. It will not change in 10 minutes. Also, if you know that your doctor's office doesn't take walk-in's, don't walk in and expect to be seen. You know the clinic gets full and you may be turned away. Don't curse at the receptionists because you didn't call ahead. You need your insurance card. Bring it with you. I know you've been seen here since you were born. I don't give a rat's ass. I still need your insurance card. If you want them to pay for it, fork over the card. It's not that hard to carry a card with you.

or the Team Dirty Sanchez Luau is this weekend too. Jus' sayin'.

so if you voted no, did ski vote yes himself? Nope, I voted no at the beginning... Either the computers can't do simple math, or he didn't vote no. Are you sure you didn't vote yes just to vote for boobies?
