Visited the good doctor yesterday and got the wonderful news that I either have mono or a "very mono-like" virus that has been going around. I then proceeded to pass out bodily fluids like welfare cheese. Apparently, the ladies who work the lab don't find the Snob very funny. As I walked in, I noticed one reading a People magazine whose big cover story was, "Diva? or Down to Earth." I sat down and said, "Just to be upfront, I'm a Diva." I barely get a grin in return and she starts asking me my name and SS#. As we're going through the motions, I look at the computer screen in front of me and can see from the task bar that someone has a Duran Duran webpage up. As the my pulse starts filling up the vile, I go for it again with, "Okay, who's been Googling Duran Duran?" A second nurse gets a shitty look on her face and snarls, "It's better than today's music." Now I am the one who's laughing, but keep the assorted comments flying through my head to myself. Gotta know your audience, but the temptation to ask her if her name was 'Rio' was strong. Mrs. Snob thinks their attitude was "chops" prejudice.
Test results should comeback today.

Damn dude. That sux.
man, i sure wouldn't hassle the folks who wield the needles. bummer on the mono like crap
I guess I won't be asking for a kiss from you after the next race.
Those aren't nurses at the front desk. They're usually want a be's who are pissed off at the world so much so that they can't get pass their grumpiness to be a real nurse. Paper pushers.
Whether you listen to Duran Duran in stereo or in (with) mono they still suck my left hairy nut. Oh wait I'm shorn.
Next time try telling a nurse a joke with your pants down. Then they'll get a laugh. AH! Just fucking kidding already.
I am sorry to hear you are sick, but damn man, that is some funny shit. And I can just see you doing it too.
I would be angry too if all i read about was Divas and listened to Duran Duran all day.
That would suck.
I appreciate the humor. Glad it's just mono after our dinner conversation.
Dang my friend, hope yer better by CX nationals! don't want to be the only BKB out there suckin' wind! Get better yo.
yes, get better. it would be a shame to end your great season quarantined.
Sorry to hear your troubles, but your sense of humor and presence of mind are still sharp!
Hope you recover quickly.
