What are you doing right now?

[severine]

i've never tweeted, or used twitter, or whatever you're supposed to say. but, from what i know about twitter, i'd think this thread is exactly like twitter.

am i right or wrong?

Probably. But when I started it, I had never heard of Twitter before. And I refuse to use it still. I look at this thread as having Facebook-esque qualities.

Then again, I used to blog so I'm used to sharing with the masses what I'm doing (and not giving a crap whether they care or not).

Right now, I am trying to wake up. Maybe some coffee would be good...

you mean you're not one of the one million plus people following ashton kutcher's every move?

the fact that he's the world's number one twitter-er is reason number one for me to never try it. but, i do feel kind of weird missing out on the phenomenon. i used to think i was hip to all the new things. no more, i guess.

I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. Though I do find it funny that AZ is on twitter.

Beautiful Sunny day here so will get in 18 holes before going to a social function later to celebrate 10 yr Anniversary and re-dedication of the opening up our Renal Center at our Medical Center ( Named for a close doc friend ).

Countless lives have been saved and /or helped as a result of this outfit and the great people who work there.

Drinking a cup of coffee with Irish cream.

I'm done with my Thursday morning con-call. Gonna pack something for lunch and head into the office.

I would have just worked from home today, but I left my laptop at work.

 

[severine]

Remembered I had an iTunes gift card for $15 so I bought some songs (thanks 10 songs thread!). Finished the coffee... think I may have another cup. Kids are hanging out with me. It's a nice, relaxed day here.

Going through a morning where a ridiculous percentage of all the patients scheduled in my office must have gone to the beach or something, since they're definately NOT walking through the door this AM

You get to bill them anyway, right?

Realizing that 2 cups of coffee after drinking none for a month might have been a bit much... a little twitchy now. :lol:

:

Some of them (if they have a prior no-show record) we actually do And to be honest with you, on those few folks we've sent a nominal "no-show" fee bill, we've never once had anyone not pay it/complain about it/or leave the practice about it.

What really steams me about it (aside from having to eat the overhead costs), is that guarenteed, tommorrow, a couple of today's no-shows will call up saying that they "have" to see me tommorrow

I'm the opposite. I typically skip the advance appointment and call in a few days ahead of time asking for a slot that aligns with my schedule if somebody cancels. It's insane to put a dentist appoinment on my calendar 6 months in advance. My life doesn't usually work that way.

Just cleaned the monitor on my laptop. For the first time in a LOOOOOONG time. Also folded laundry and started another load.

Wait a minute, I thought that everyone has their lives planned out 6+ months in advance :lol: I'm already doing rough planning of my schedule for NEXT spring right now (just gotta figure out mother nature and what she'll be doing for late season spring skiing at Mount Snow now )

I agree...I can usually call the week I want an appointment..speaking of appointments..the worst is when I schedule an after hours appointment and not only is the family a noshow but they want another after hours appointment..oh wel; it is what it is..

On the way back from Easton I got pulled over for an expired inspection...$109 fine cha ching..so tomorrow afterwork I have an inspection..

 

[severine]

...I'm about to do something crazy. I'll post results if it turns out okay.

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

<------Is looking forward to results!!!!!

 

[severine]

I'm supposed to go one more step...but I'm scared! Heck, this is scary... but I needed a change. LOL!

 

[severine]

Didn't come out quite as planned.... Should have let it sit longer. Oh well. It's just hair. I can do it again.

Brian's reaction was priceless. What the hell is wrong with you? :roll:

 

[drjeff]

I'm thinking I should drink some water before going to bed since it's been about 2 hours since I finished my run and because of AZ and Facebook, I've yet to make it back downstairs to fill up my water glass and my throat currently feels like the Sahara Desert
