Balls… Inspector?

June 22, 2005 by

Nods to a really old ad for Cheese Balls… It’s a Kiwi thing… deal.

I knew going in it was going to be a target… It’s big, it’s yellow and it looks just like… well. A ball.

That’s actually because it IS a ball. sheesh.

Anyhoo, I finally got my act together and bought a plug for it. Until now it has been a little deflated pile of rubbery plastic with all the other stuff under my bed. But, with the new plug and a lot of hot air it is now a rather large globe like feature underneath my desk.

Yes, my desk… it isn’t here at home, it’s at the office…

After struggling to get it into my car, (a two door compact -) achieved only by letting the air out… I sheepishly hoisted the thing into the office.

The whole point of the exercise is my bad back and an attempt at setting myself a little straighter at the keyboard, a plan to complement my new ergonomic screen height adjuster and the stand for the Dell which keeps it at eye level…

So, here’s Dee sitting at her desk, bouncing occasionaly in time to the toons on the iPod and fielding the comments graciously when people stop to chat about my ball.

Happy and smiling she is… until Fish notices.

The Fish, who knocks on the edge of my desk as he walks past waiting for me to bite at him, has a new game.

It’s called Kick the Ball and Watch Dee Snap…

God Give Me Strength.

Noo Shoos

June 18, 2005 by

I have noo shoos, and for the 1st time in my adult life I am wearing R**boks rather than Nik*s.
My group of girlfriends in my early 20’s were swoosh wearers. The swoosh, the whole swoosh and nothing but the swoosh! We sported black bumper stickers with white text and a red swoosh all the way through a number of cars, there were even swoosh key rings for the lucky. Yes, we were a sad act to be sure.
So, when I was back in NZ in April imagine my surprise to see Panda in R**boks… It was the biggest surprise of the holiday.
And now I am in them too…
My how things change…

Life the Universe and Thursday

June 17, 2005 by

[Nod’s once again to Douglas Adams]

So, the conversation goes like this…

Bring Bring… “Local Radiology, Scary Nurse Speaking”
Moi… “Hello Scary Nurse, this is Dee, How are you doing?”
SN… “Good thanks” (Ok, so she’s not exactly scary, more, sort of represents a universal scariness given she’s in charge of this darn mammogram)
Moi…”I’d like to make an appointment for a mammogram please, I have a referral from Dr Ticket”
SN… “Certainly, what’s your name please?”
Moi… “Deeleea B Deeleea”
SN…”Well, I can see your referral in the system, you’ve had it since January haven’t you?”
Moi… “*blushes* Yes”
SN… “I’m afraid I can’t make an appointment for you. Because you are below the governnmentally intstituted regulation screening age you need to have a referral that demonstrates an existing pathology (a lump or some such anomaly) or a serious family history before we can book you in under Medicare”
Moi… “Well, I have a serious family history (see prev post)”
SN… ” am afraid that Dr Ticket is going to have to write that on the referral”
Moi…”well, can I just book in as a private patient and pay you rather than faff about with Medicare (bearing in mind Mrs Brick gave me the cash).
SN…”No, I’m sorry you’ll need to ring Dr Ticket and ask him to rewrite the referral and then call us for an appointment”
Moi…[hangs up with her flabber totally ghasted]

So, what I want to know is if Kylie had to put up with all this rubbish… I guess she had an existing pathology. Me I’ve just got a couple of dead relatives?

I will have to make another appointment to see another doctor because I didn’t actually bond with Dr Ticket the last time I was there and I want a nicer doctor to give me the referral, one who actually takes me seriously. I hardly ever have to go to the docs so when I do I go with a shopping list… please check out this mole, can I have my blood results, and can you book me a mammogram? I would not have thought that strange behaviour, surely general physicals include such things, but Dr Ticket clearly thinks I am an hypochondriac.

So, as you can see I did Try and book the procedure but got stonewalled. I promise I won’t leave it 2 months to try again…

On a lighter note I am somewhat heavier due to certain pancakes consumed at the latest Aussie wibmeet. Me, Ian, Semele and Miss Lisa hooked up in the city for dinner and what turned out to be an hilarious evening!!! Thanks for making the effort guys! It was great to meet you Semele and to catch up Ian! And Miss Lisa? Always a pleasure!!
I have brain fade and can’t remember any of the things we said we’d blog when we got home… except the sugar spilling and the shoe and hardware fetish… Loses something in translation I think!

I guess you just had to be there…
