Nothing McDonalds Can't Fix

I promised a blog post of my "Awesome" day. Where do I begin....How about 12 hours before I left work...which was basically when I got to work.

I get to work totally pumped for the day! Went to the gym before hand, packed a healthy lunch, and planned to stay a couple hours late to catch up on some stuff from my last weeks holidays (which also deserves a post). Once I get there I looked and the schedule and was reminded that the first few hours for EVERYONE canceled, but that was okay because every other appointment was confirmed and looking good!

To refrain from dragging this paragraph on for too long, let me just say half the day just didn't show. Who books appointments, confirms them, and then just doesn't show up? I can't comprehend this madness. (That's almost as bad as the lady yesterday who freaked out insisting she had an appointment, then sat down in the waiting room and said "And again an appointment I show up for that 'apparently' I don't have." Really? Does this happen do you often? Maybe its you then!!)

So I was frantically trying to fill the day, while trying to catch up from being on holidays last week, and one of my hygienists wife decides to go into labor. (Clearly I have never had children, hence I am able to use the word "decides" when talking about birth), Who does that on a Tuesday? Common! How inconvenient. So on top of the gong show of a Tuesday it had already been, now I'm trying to find people to come in and cover for him for the rest of a week. I thought I told him to explain to his wife a Thursday would be best. Men, they never listen!

I temporarily skipped reviewing and editing Wednesday, because I wasn't too sure how I was going to swing it with this whole "Baby" thing. So I looked at Thursdays schedule, which I also decided to skip as one of the Dentist is going to be away, one hygienist working a half day, and another hygienist called to say she couldn't work on Thursday. Alright, Friday it is. Just kidding NOPE. All of Friday was booked wrong, and needed LOTS of fixing, so I decided to skip Friday to. Its only Tuesday and I am already at Saturday. AWESOME!

At 3:00 I decided it was time for lunch. Clearly McDonalds was in order! After I called The Husband, and this is kinda how it went:

B: What did you get for lunch?
K: A Cheeseburger
B: Just a cheeseburger?
K: Well, a double cheeseburger.
B: A Double Cheeseburger?
K: Well, two double cheeseburgers.
B: Two double cheeseburgers!?
K: ...And fries
B: Two double cheeseburgers AND Fries?!?
K: ......And a coke. But it was a coke zero, so were good to go, basically cancels everything else out.

(I cant comprehend people who miss dental appointments on days when it is plus 31, not a cloud in the sky, and not windy...yet the above statement makes total sense to me. I'm a little messed up, I acknowledge and accept that).

Quickly after that I regretted my decision for eating McDonalds, as I remembered my battle this morning with the weigh scale...(What can I say I had an AWESOME time at stampede lol). I was full after the first burger,...so I put the other one in my purse. That was actually brilliant considering I was still at work when it was time for dinner!

Um, after that the specifics are kind of meaningless, but it got to the point where really all I could do was laugh (Until I looked out the front window and there was half the native reserve huddled by our front door, I was a little scared). So then I spent the last few hours just me and my burger, turned the music up load and partied!! I worked a little to, I should probably add that seeing as how my manager reads my blog ;). I gotta say, the rest of this week is looking DANG good now! (Sadly, I hope its not nice outside so people actually come to their appointments I have worked so hard to make perfect).

Moral of the story...NO BABIES!!! Hahaha! Just kidding. Good luck Trent & Jill, So excited for you and your family!!
