Okay, Now My Body Is Just Mocking Me
Yet another update on the neverending drama that is my menstrual cycle:
60 days between periods (again)
This time it was a little worse than last time (but mild in comparison to everything before)
Once again, little to no pain
So, let me get this straight. After being told for all these years that the pill would make me feel better, it actually might have made me feel worse? I half want to go to my gyno and strangle him.
Whatever, the most important thing is no pain. And the most depressing thing is no baby. Upside? I can have myself a big ol' glass of wine tonight since this was the week from hell at work. Why oh why are stupid people so damn dumb? And why are they allowed to use telephones?
Example, a financial advisor asked me today if the market was going to go up or down next week. And he wasn't asking my opinion. He was asking me to tell him how to invest his client's money so the client wouldn't lose anything out of his investments. My answer? "Sir, if I knew how the market was going to perform next week, I wouldn't need to work here. Or anywhere. Ever again. Also, I'm not licensed to give you financial advice." Left unsaid there was the point that HE was licensed for financial advice.
I swear to God, you can't make this stuff up. Nor can I make up the fact that there are people out there like that who hold their clients' financial futures in their hands. Please, please, people, if you do nothing else, hire an advisor who is not a complete tool and knows the difference between the type of investments you have. To me there's nothing scarier than taking that phone call from the financial advisor who says, "I don't know what I sold this guy. Can you explain it to me? He's coming into the office in five minutes, so you need to be fast." I am not kidding you.
Getting a Christmas tree and baking Christmas cookies this weekend. Also going to buy some real boots for the winter. I would like Uggs because I know they're super warm, but I need something practical too. To LL Bean Omar and I go! Hurray!
