The best thing ever

I know I haven't posted in a while; it's not like anyone's reading anyway, so who cares?

The best thing ever just happened to me:

My manager's been giving me a hard time about certain phrases I use with our patients. This, in and of itself, is super annoying, since I go out of my way to make certain that our patients are well cared for, and are lacking nothing, and the fact that she bitches about me using phrases like "If you need anything, I'm always here" is a bit more than mildly irritating. Nevertheless, I've made a point out of saying what she wants me to say: "Anyone who answers the phone can help you." Fine. Whatever.

So, today, as I'm checking out a patient, I say to him "If you have any questions, feel free to call our office. Anyone who answers the phone can help." Coincidentally, I happen to be saying this just as we're walking by my manager. His response: "I'd rather just deal with you. I like dealing with you."

In front of my manager.

It was bliss. My toes curled inside my shoes from happiness.

Happiness is...

VINDICATION

When I was a kid, I was an only child for over a decade. So lonely and depressed was I that my parents took to telling me that our cat - a fifteen pound inbred monster with an attitude - was my brother. And I believed them (shut up - I was a gullible kid). Anyhoo...I used to fantasize that I had long-lost siblings out there.

See what can happen when you have a good imagination? Right now I'm imagining that I have a million dollars.

Sigh...I wish they were still here. My sisters are awesome.
