love Dwight and The Office!!
And you could always "UNSHUN" (also per Dwight) if need be a later time..:)
FYI-That's an actual custom in the Amish community - I just read a book about them called Plain Secrets. Very interesting!
True Blood, The Office, Big Love...
I loved The Riches on FX, but it isn't coming back. That's about it. I still watch The Sopranos and SATC DVDs all the time, got the box set of each, great to work out on the elliptical or treadmill to.

Any office supply place, like Office Depot or Staples. Try copyholder instead of typing stand.
Might see if your local Staples, Office Depot has someone that does office machine

American Idol - Love, love, love Adam!!!
I think he'll make it til the end! At least I hope so!
At the vet office I'm at...
We either take care of sending the pet to be cremated or the owner can pick up the body to bury/dispose of as they see fit. I personally disposed of two of the kittens that died while I was fostering them and the last one that died the vet offered to give me the body to bury where I wanted or cremate if I chose. I would give your vet office a call and see what their policy is.
My first job was in an office where everyone
smoked except me! It was horrible! Grew up with a smoking parent, too - so had to breathe it in the car. It was on planes, busses, trains, and in restaurants. There was no such thing as non-smoking motel rooms or airports, and even in junior high and high school, where you weren't allowed to smoke, everyone still did it in the bathrooms.
YUCKKKKKKK !!!
office
i have an office in one of the spare bedrooms and i hate it. i tend to tote the laptop out to the living room couch and watch judge judy while i type. not even sure why i have an office at all!
Does anyone not have an office?
Not really office but does anyone not have clutter. Just a computer and a notebook? I'm going to be moving my office shortly to another room in the house and I'm looking around thinking "WHY do I have all this crap?" It is like I am at a real work environment with other employees, etc. Stacks of busness cards, papers, sticky notes, pcitures of family, funnies, cup full of pens, candy dish, lotion, card s and pictures from my family, little trinkets and doodads, etc. Do I really need anything more than my equipment, a pen, and a notebook?
Go with her to SS office, I think at most SM
you have to take a number or sign in, they will call you up, explain to them that your mom did not understand she had to take Part B or that your dad's insurance would drop her when she became eligible. You will have to sit back down for a short time, then you will be called to speak one-on-one with a SS worker, explain the same thing.
I had to do this with my mother - she had some misunderstanding of Part B and declined it. She didn't know what she was doing. We are only talking a matter of months before I found out in this case, but they did back her effective date up to the date she became eligible and all Part B claims were then paid.
Try going to the office - it can't hurt. It took about a morning of our time, but the people there were very kind about the situation and it was well worth the 3 hours we were there to get things resolved.
Run to the post office????
I think we're talking a phone call type of RSVP/an informal party invite. But are you now saying you don't respond to wedding invitations and the like either???? Just curious :)
When I worked in an MD's office,
this was discussed a lot. We identified 3 factors:
1. The rare but memorable mothball smell where people put on their best duds to see the MD, but they are from 1952, and have been stored in mothballs.
2. Corn starch powder, which has a very musty smell to my nose.
3. Rose water perfume. Everybody in the office would be nauseated when one of these ladies would come in.
LOL-your office looks just like mine sm
A conglomeration of everything but must make room for those babies! By the way, your dogs are gorgeous and I LOVE THAT TRUNK! Where did you get it? It would look just perfect in my front room.
wow that's wonderful. Maybe if we can get a dem in office
:)
Yes, and now that I work in an office,
other men act like I'm attractive and they'd be interested, so its really irritating to go home and be complimented, but it's empty words with no follow through. I think he might be ashamed of his body because he's overweight, but that's no reason to punish me.
Different places when no office available
I have been in just about every room of my house at one time or another. I started out working in the kitchen years ago because I had dialup and the apartment I lived in had only a phone jack there. The kitchen was my favorite because it was away from all the noise--that was when the kids were smaller, though.
I have had a desk in the bedroom before. It was handy when the kids were at school or hubby was home to take care of them, otherwise it was a pain because it was in the back of the house and if they needed something I had to get up from my desk.
The family room is okay, unless you have really loud family like mine. My kids must be deaf sometimes, I swear. Oh yeah and they argue in there over the TV the PlayStation, etc. However, you can deal with some of that from the desk without having to get up. It is a fair trade most of the time.
I had two different mobile setups over the years. One was laptop which was okay, but before WiFi, so expensive. The second, I had a desk on wheels that had everything I needed. I could roll it out to the back porch and sit there to work while the youngest was out playing. This was good for mild weather. Be forewarned, if it is really hot outside where you are, you may have PC problems. I used to have one that would overheat and shut itself off. Ugh!!. Oh, BTW, direct sunlight is bad if you have a laptop or plasma screen, so make sure you have shade!
I currently have my own "little room" for now which basically is the size of a really huge walk-in closet with a window and a door. I shut the door when the kids are home because the words "please be quiet, I cannot hear when you are yelling at eachother" apparently are not in teenager-ese.
Hope this was helpful!
Maybe the office has changed their
policy and will not just renew RXs without an exam.
At the doctor's office yes,
Everywhere else, no. I get frustrated when people don't come with a rewind button... ;)
What questions should I ask a potential new PCP's office? sm
We have an HMO, and I really need to stop procrastinating and find a primary care doctor closer to where my husband and I live now. (We've moved about 1-1/2 hours away from where we used to live.)
We rarely have to go to the doctor, but I do take daily prescription medications. We've had our current PCP for about the last 10 years, so it's been a long time since I had to pick a new doctor.
I've narrowed it down to about 5 doctors in the area here and plan to call and ask them some questions before contacting my insurance co. to make the change (which takes a long time to take effect, so it's not something you want to do a bunch of times if you can help it.)
The first thing I'll ask is if they are still taking new patients. (Obviously need to ask them that question!)
After that, I'll ask what their hours are and things like that, but does anyone have any suggestions for me as far as other questions to ask, or any other advice?
TIA, guys. I know you'll have some great ideas and things I might not think of. 
Was thinking he is just one of the office players. do not take it seriously.

I agree about the office politics...
and that is a definite plus about being at home. I like the fact that I don't HAVE to talk to anyone if I don't feel like it (unlike being in an office), but my schedule gives me the freedom to socialize with my friends and family when we want to get together and also be active in my church during the week.
They make the best office companions! nm

Yes and we share the home office
So he got to pick the scents at the candle store. He likes the pine, lilac, some "ocean scent" that smells nothing like the ocean, and some cinnamon holiday-type scent. They're all cool with me and I keep one burning every night because it's just nice and I like the glow. (I'm a night worker.)
Please call your doc's office for possible reactions with what you already take. nm

That is weird. The techs at my vet's office sm
are very friendly and talkative. My poor doggie has been there so much they know him and are always happy to see him.
Pod people, indeed!
The Office, Lost, and don't laugh
but America's Next Top Model. My daughter and I are hooked. It is the best cheesy, brainless TV around.
My calendar is in my private office and no one
else in the family even knows what it is for. My daughter will even mark the calendar if I haven't done it. Just last month she came in to count the days so she could make plans for an upcoming swimming party. Just so tired of the speculation that all teenage girls are sexully active. Believe it or not there are still some good girls out there.
Call your doctor's office...
congrats!
Just had the injection in the office. The only part I did not like was seeing SM
the needle that close to the eye. He was very nice and I had confidence in him and it was over before I knew it. They just inject a steroid solutin and it dissolves it in short order. I had mine on a Friday evening some years ago and did not have to work the next day, but would have been up and at it the next monring. You will do just fine if that is what happens. The only part, like I said, was I got a terribly black eye, which actually had it hilarious moments, as you can image at work, etc. Good luck to you!
Sounds like a very unprofessional office to me - sm
Will your insurance company pay the difference between the two? Mine does that because I now get the white fillings when I need one replaced. I know you did not agree to the white filling, but that is what they gave you. Yes, they were wrong, but you do have that in your mouth. Maybe the doctor should suck it up since they did not inform you beforehand, but it seems they will not do so. I would send them the amount they are requesting in a letter and inform them you will be taking your business elsewhere next time and telling everyone you know the reason why. I would be sweet as pie in the letter, so that maybe, just maybe, they feel badly for the situation and offer to make it right. Just my opinion. Hope it works out for you.
Called another medical office....
to ask a question and the secretary said "I'm at lunch right now, can I call you back when I am done?" I think that is very unprofessional. If you are at lunch, then I think one should either not answer the phone or put it in voicemail mode!
maybe it's the post office fault.

Called the doctor's office
and they suggested this too. Also said to try Gatorade. Any idea how to make tonic water taste better? It is nasty stuff! I will suck it down but ick!
I made it very clear to the office
before I told them my concerns she was not to know. You aunt seems to have more going on, i.e. being unrealistic about trying to climb all the steps you talk about. You should not feel guilty about trying to explain the situation at your place. Is this your mother's sister- who else can step in and speak up for you? My aunt got sorta snippy with me (never had before) but now since she is having to move seems more calm and more accepting- I think she is actually looking forward to it after wanting to be on her own for all these years. Just could not do it anymore and I applaud her doctor for stepping in like I wanted him to. I went behind her back but she would tell me things and then ask that I not tell her son and her living alone I knew I had to step in which I did. She adores her doctor and I knew this, therefore that is the person I approached.
Here's a link to some office tips
I'll look for some more for home tips in general. I liked these office tips. This is the clearest explanation I have found yet for some of it. I need to move my desk around.

Treat everyone as if we all worked in the same office.

When I worked in a doctor's office,the
MT dept would go out for lunch together sometimes and we always had a bottle of wine.
I work in an ophthalmologist's office.
I am not a doctor, but have seen people come in with the same symptoms... dx'd with ophthalmic migraine. It can happen repeatedly with/without headache. Usually lasts 20 to 30 mins, one eye.. There is lots of info if you Google ophthalmic migraine.

Why is it the office staff's responsibility
to get you from your home to their office. Obviously, you have a computer -- why not Google it?
As for the appt mix-up, it happened all the time when I worked in an office 10 years ago. It was a mistake -- not some conspiracy. A lot of staff is overworked due to rising job cuts. When I have an appt further than 5 minutes from my house, I always call the day before to confirm.
Sometimes we have to take responsbility for ourselves. As for the comments related to the age of these staff members, what about the old farts who are still working because they didn't plan well enough to retire? Yesterday, one gave me a cheeseburger instead of the hamburger that I ordered -- what's the reason for that? My guess was just a simple error; maybe I should rethink that.
I hate office politics! sm
That is why I enjoy doing MT so much. It is just me, the doctor's voice and my computer. Of course, the occasional emails from supervisor. But the way this industry is going, I see myself doing something else. What that is I don't know yet, but I am beginning the search. I thought computers would be a good field to get in.
Bring something in a crock pot that you can plug in at the office & set on low.

Could she go to the office to make the call after school? sm
or borrow a friend's cell phone to call after school, so she doesn't have the cut into lunch?
Also, about the cell phone, I got my daughter a TracFone which can be relatively inexpensive for times like this. It is not for chit-chat, just to make quick calls to home for times like this.
grrr the dr's office should not be telling her about your visit
I had the same thing happen. I went to the ER and asked to be a "no info" patient and do not let anyone know I was there including my husband who was a staff member. 30 min they showed my husband to my room!!!!!!!!!
Honestly this HIPPA stuff just goes out the window when your spouse or relative works at the hosptial.
I would speak to the office manager and physician about their breach on confidentiality.
Just do not list anyone for emergency contact information.
I'm a single mom and I have friends # listed on his car seat, in my wallet and at the hosptial record who could pick up my son if I had to have surgery or worse. My family isn't here for me now they are the last people I want around me if something really bad happened.
I worked in a dental office for years
and if you're going there religiously every three months and they never before said anything about your teeth being in disrepair, then something is NOT right there. I would run screaming and get another opinion. I worked for a very unscrupulous man (oh, don't get me started! ), and I know the tricks people like that use. He had to make his Mercedes payment, and the Range Rover payment for his 16-year-old, among his other payments, and would pull all kinds of things on his patients. They're not all trustworthy out there, and your story sounds highly suspicious, because if your teeth are being taken care of and watched every three months, trouble should be spotted long before it turns into the need for a crown. Please see someone else. Don't tell them what your dentist said, and see if they say the same thing. Just go in for a cleaning and x-rays and see if the new dentist mentions the need for all those crowns. And if you do actually need them, then your dentist is one of those who knows about a cavity and lets it go to where you need a crown. Either way, I would NOT go back...
My dentist office charges if you miss - sm
your appt. (or don't call and cancel 24-hours ahead) But they had me sign a paper acknowledging that they told me this and that I agree to the terms. This sounds totally bogus and a scam to boot. Good luck.
hubby works for post office
They LOVE Netflix. It brings a lot of work to them.
Or...take notes from Dwight from "The Office" (sm)
Dwight Schrute: Yes, I have decided to shun Andy Bernard for the next three years... which I'm looking forward to. It's an Amish technique; it's like slapping someone with silence.
Dwight Schrute: I was shunned from the age of 4 until my 6th birthday, for not saving the excess oil from a can of tuna.
SHUN THE OFFENDER!
