Got off work really early today.
Had to get my boss' approval although she didnt' seem too happy that I got to leave earlier than her. I guess this is the 3rd time I'm leaving earlier without her throwing her unfinished business to me when all she does is to go home for dinner with her Dad. Ptah!!! Anyway, I couldn't give a damn and left after completing all my work for today. Headed to the Gynae for a long awaited HPV Vaccine.
Paranoia attacks during hospital visits as I had palpitation before this and was wondering if it required a complete checkup before I'm being allowed to receive the vaccine. My BP and pulse were recorded (all turned out fine THANK GOD) and my sister and I were both called into the room.
The doctor was really patient. Sis took the vaccine after her papsmear turned out good and it was my turn. She had to leave for another room as my niece was there for her routine vaccination too. So I took my time and lifted the weight off my heavy chest when he convinced me that my heartbeat rates were healthy and I wouldn't need a checkup yet unless I sweat profusely or the palpitation becomes regular, exceeds 100 and lasts for a really long time. *gulps*...I told him I'm a real paranoid I monitor my heartbeat everytime after meals and every now and then. He laughed, pat my back and told me to relax. LoL!!!
Anyway, the vaccine's said to be 99% effective if taken between ages 9-26. There are 2 types, the Gardasil and Cervarix and apparently the Gardasil is for the younger people therefore I had that. It's already mandatory in the states and UK and I don't see a reason why anyone would opt not to go for it. It's slightly pricey I agree but then to safe a little and have your life guaranteed...isn't it wiser? Alright it might not be absolutely effective but then at least we've done our responsibility!
SO TAKE YOUR JABS GALS!!!

Digressing, I have got this really irritating unit manager that blends in completely well with my boss. They're both a liability to the company that has no idea what DATELINE means and all they do when a situation occurs is to yell and whine in the office. GOSH!
So this was what happened. I had to drive a couple days back for a meeting and I was already prepared they'd just pick on how bad I am in roads and directions and etc...Dad told me not to get to harsh while speaking to them as he knows I'm pretty outspoken and therefore, I try (at most times) to hold back. But she really topped my nerves when she touched a topic regarding my dog.
She had a dog too...named Scott, her mother's it seems. And she went on telling how she isn't really a dog person but kept it really well groomed for the sake of making her mom happy and the old lady was really devastated when Scott just ran away from home one day and decided to...not return. So I shared my story saying how Max jumped into my Dad's car one day in town and we decided to adopt her although she was really in a bad shape with chunks of fur gone and thin to her bones. She went...
'OOO!! Now I know where my Scott went! You must have kidnapped her, you dog napper!'

I'm not really sure if she was joking but she's already triggered me a few times in the car with her obnoxiosu comments on my driving, life, car, family and as far as you can go...when she herself...just cries when things go bad. I was so pissed I just went...
'Unless your Scott is castrated, I'm pretty sure it won't happen'.
She kept quiet for the rest of the journey.
