So yesterday I had my physical with the city doctor as a pre-employment step for my library gig [because when you work for the gov-ment, they want to make sure you’re in tip-top shape before they hire you, so they don’t have to shell out money for you when something they didn’t know about goes wrong under their roof].
On the medical history paperwork they asked me to list any and all medications I am currently taking. The LAST thing that I listed was prenatal vitamins, which I take because I am still nursing my daughter, and she still needs those nutrients.
So the doc is taking a look at the sheet and remarks with a bit of a shocked gasp, “Prenatal Vitamins?! Are you trying to get pregnant ::widens eyes::.”
Yes, Dr. Oblivious, that’s why The FIRST thing that I listed was Micronor, aka THE BIRTH CONTROL PILL.
It’s good to know you’re paying attention.
She also had a lot of ballsy and inappropriate questions for me, such as, “But who is going to take care of your daughter?!“….as though no woman in the world has ever returned to work after giving birth [even though she herself remarked that she has two young children {6 and 9 I believe}]….Gee, Dr. InsanelyRude, I thought I’d just leave her in the parking lot during my shifts >_< EVER HEARD OF A BABY SITTER? OR A FATHER? OR DAYCARE?
”Why are your eyes so dilated?“…Wait, I thought YOU were the doctor. How the fuck am I supposed to know? And you JUST drug tested me, so drop your suspicious tone. “Are they always like that?” [this time I actually DID reply with what I was thinking] “I don’t know, I can’t exactly see them from here..”
On the positive side of things, my boss called me up today and gave me my schedule and start date [This Saturday, w00t!]. I work longer hours than I did the last time I was working there, but I only work three days a week. This is GREAT, because it means I’m spending less money on gas driving all the way out there and back, and I get more full days at home with my girl =).
I’m stoked, but also very nervous..
