Filed Under: weekly or something
My back decided a while ago to turn into a natural disaster area. Like it´s pay back time for being tall or something. I like walking or lying down but sitting is just not that comfortable as of lately. Finally after seeing a chiropractor a few times which did me no good I went to the doctor who imediately sent me to get X-rays of my back. I was shipped to the emergency X-ray room at a nearby hospital.
And here´s my question. Why do people who hate their jobs and lives decide to stay at their jobs? Try and do something else or something about it. Honestly. Yes, I know it´s easier said than done perhaps, but still. I don´t need to hear about how awful it is that I show up at an emergency facilitity when I need to have 20/30 X-rays taken. And after that rant she went on about how my back was crooked, long and difficult to X-ray, at which point I lost it a bit and looked up at her prune face and said. Look, I´m here because I am in great pain. Maybe her mission is to get revenge. Revenge because her life sucks and therefore every one elses should too? I dunno.
A few nights earlier I had watched this guy talk about how you should leave bad energy where it´s at and not take it in. It was not like he brought any real news around but he delivered them in a newish way. Strange dude but very cool. I almost succeeded in leaving the bad energy with prunella at the X-raiser.
Last night I had tickets to go see Bajofondo. It took some effort but it was worth it. Their albums are good but live they´re magnificent. Catch their show if you can. You should have catched mine going there, my friends tells me I moved with dignity in a Lurch kind of way.

Coffee break in one of Corbusiers buildings in Marseille.
Contains 4 million glasses made from 125 tons of wheat!
Neat!
Still having back problems? This is not good news.
When I went to the hospital Emergency Room a couple days ago, I was in absolute agony, barely able to think, walk, or even recall my name. But this didn’t stop the ER nurse from telling me to CALM DOWN BECAUSE I WON’T WORK ON YOU IN THIS STATE!!
Given that it’s the EMERGENCY ROOM, I wonder exactly what state she expects people to be in when they come through the door?
April 5th, 2008 at 7:34 pmI had a similar experience at the Dentist a couple of weeks back. It’s a small place with two Dentists, a husband and wife team actually. My appointment was for 10:00am and I show up at 9:50am expecting to see my usual Dentist, the bloke.
No, instead I see his wife who for the first 5 mins of our appointment goes on a tirade about how I was supposed to be there at 9:00am and they had to shift the entire schedule around because I was late.
We actually argued about it before I said, “look, this is getting us nowhere and quite frankly I don’t want to be here anyway”. She calmed down later and apologized when she realized they’d made a mistake.
But seriously, if we’re at somewhere medicinal, be it hospital, dentist, whatever, we don’t want to be there. How is having a go at us helping?
Douchebags.
April 9th, 2008 at 12:00 amaw, uberdude! sorry your back is givin’ you fits. seems like almost everyone has back problems these days. (even short people, btw! ;)
i dunno what kinda chiro you went to, but an orthogonal chiro is the bestest kind. they don’t do all the twistin’ and snappin’ and poppin’ all over you. they use ultra sound waves. it’s way different than a regular ol’ chiro.
anyhows… i loved that pic from the wedding. i love detailed b/w photos.
feel better!
