May. 22nd, 2002 08:36 pmbored now... dinner was good, i sautéed pierogies with worcestershire sauce and garlic. i should have made more. other than that, today i've eaten some crackers and cheese spread and half a pint of blackberries. mostly i sat on the computer and tried to figure out how the nyc trip is going to work. unsuccessfully, i might add.
if charlene calls me back, i'll probably be fencing tomorrow. friday i might be going to georgetown with james and people, or i might be just going to kate's. i don't have to leave at the buttcrack of dawn because dad isn't working friday so he can take me to the train station whenever. scott is willing to take a road trip to get me back from nyc so i don't have to visit kate's friend in nh and come back monday, but i'd like to talk to olga before i make definite return plans, in case she wants to do something or in case she knows an easier way of doing things. unfortunately, her cell phone gives me a 'this number cannot be completed as dialed' message, her home phone just rings until it beeps (which might be the answering machine, i'm really not sure. there wasn't a message), and she's been either offline or idle all day. argh.
also i called the doctors. i need to get a colposcopy because of an abnormality on my pap, and i need to see an obgyn about it instead of my regular doctor. which means they need the pap results faxed to them. well, the first time i tried the regular doctor's office told me that they couldn't fax the records because they hadn't done the pap (said results had been faxed from the school clinic). the reason they had the records at all was so they could do whatever was necessary with them. also, they're *my* records, and they can damn well do what ever i tell them to do with them.
so this time when i called i didn't mention that they hadn't done the pap, but i still had problems. apparently there's a new law that says you can't fax confidential medical records. despite the fact that i'm explicitly telling them to. i convinced them that no, they couldn't just copy it and have me pick the records up because i wouldn't have any way to get there until the end of next week. they decided to make an exception for me and mail the records. then i called the gyn and told them the records were in the mail. "couldn't you have just faxed them?" they said. rrgh. and if the results don't seem to require urgent followup, i won't be able to get an appointment until mid july, which effectively means august provided i get the cty job. if it is urgent, i hope i can get an appointment before june 14th, because after that i can't go until august. (see above re cty.)
and i probably need to make a regular doctor's appointment, so they can tell me my jaw's fucked up and i'm going to get tmj or something. also i might have a yeast infection. and i have to get my wisdom teeth removed june 5, and at some point i need to get implants (teeth, not breasts) put in so i can stop wearing the damned retainers that i think are what's making my gums bleed. and i need to get new contacts/glasses.
also, if the doctor won't refill my birth control prescription because i haven't followed up on the pap smear yet, i will kill something.
i would like to eat something else. like dessert. but i'm not sure we have anything.
this whole "people not being reachable" thing is rather annoying. like cty - i called the employment office four times today and got the answering machine telling me that their office hours were, theoretically, right now. feh. are you supposed to leave messages if all you want to do is follow up on an application and make sure it showed up with all its bits intact?
i hate trying to organize things.
