Out standing in my field

Today I wore a dress down sticker. What this means is that I have done such a good job at work that someone complimented me and I got a sticker that I can wear that will allow me to be able to dress in casual clothes on a Regular Work Day. These little babies are like gold to me and I horde them. Hence the date on my current sticker is 05/29/09.  In the past few months the company has changed the look of the sticker but the one I wore today has a picture of a cow and says: "Holy Cow... You are OUTSTANDING in your field!"   "Keep up the great work!"

I had a doctors appointment today and thought it would be nice to dress down. So I wore my sticker. Now I forgot I had it on when I went to the doctor's office, and was reminded when the nice lady behind the check in desk chuckled. When I looked at her questioningly she nodded at my shoulder and said "You're outstanding in your field".  I laughed and explained the reason for the sticker.

Next came the nurse, and once again the explanation. Then my Doctor. I love Dr. T. He's great. He laughed and then we talked about my continuous fatigue. We were discussing my diabetes and sugar levels when I told him that I know I get more tired when I'm high.  Suddenly he laughs and says "You're High?". It took a moment to get it, and then I laughed too. He meant Marijuana high, not Blood Sugar high.  I told him if I was High I wouldn't be complaining about being tired. I'd get the best sleep of my life. HAHAHAHA

After Dr. T. I had to go to the lab to draw blood and pee in a cup.  Can I just mention how much I HATE peeing in the damn cup? They give you a cup the circumference of a 1/2 dollar and tell you to fill it at least half way. HUH?!?  I'm a girl for crying out loud.  I don't have the proper aiming abilities and frankly I can't really see well enough down there to get the position correct. EWWWWW!   I need a freaking bucket not a thimble. GRRRR. 

Anyway the check-in lady at the lab laughed at my sticker and once again I found myself explaining the reasoning. Then I was taken back by the cutest phlebotomist ever. He was hot!  I found myself almost offering my other arm to poke just so I could keep looking at him. *sigh* 
I had to explain the cow sticker once again. By this time I couldn't stop chuckling to myself and had to send a text to my co-workers saying: " Mental note, do not wear a dress down sticker when going to the doctors or having tests done." Also as I was leaving the lab area, the Lady said to me: " Have a great day out standing in you're field!" 

I talked to the diabetic nurse afterwards and I explained that I have such a hard time taking my evening dose of insulin. I just don't remember. I don't forget to eat, but I can't remember to take the medicine with my food. I then told a story of how my friend  Lorie calls her sister Jo every day to remind Jo to take her meds. Lorie has a reminder programed into her phone so she calls. I made and off hand comment that I should pay Lorie like $10.00 a month to call me every evening and remind me. Then my Nurse said that doing that could be a great way to earn money.  Wow, it could. So when I got back to work I emailed the suggestion to Lorie. Brandy even said that she'd pay Lorie 10 bucks to call her.  I think she should advertise on KSL and see if she could get a following. She could set up a PayPal account and do it. Heck I might even do it just to make some extra mullah.

Hum.......  That's an idea......  Now I could really be Outstanding in my field......
