Urinary Impotence
hahaha, do you guys remember that from HS? Wasn't that something we joked about? Along with "I can't pee!"? Anyway, I went for the silly physical this am, and I didn't have to/couldn't pee while I was there, so I had to go back later with a full bladder. The nurse got an attitude about it. Dude, sometimes you just can't pee!! Get over it. She had an attitude every time I saw her. Annoying. Not only that, but I got there about 5 after 8, and left about 9:10, it took that long to wait for someone to come in. Then the PA took a whole 5 mins to do the "physical". what the hell ever. I probably could have done the urine test then, had it not been 15 mins after I was supposed to be at training when the PA left the room! ACK. (Yes, E, I had one for my camp application in May, but they wanted it done at their specified place; and I had to have a TB skin test, and a drug screen... to make sure I've really gotten over my crack habbit. ;-) )
Luckily, I got to the Children's Home just as they were really starting. They had taken a tour or something around the "cottages", and were just sitting down to start. It ended up being a total waste of time; going over stuff we'd already gone over with AT LEAST one other person. So, we were done at about 11, then we did the 15 passenger van "test" (which consisted of driving around Hanes Park with a supervising RC) and we were done for the day. Well, I guess some people had to come back, but Colleen, mine & Melissa's supervisor, was out sick. How convenient, so I STILL don't know my schedule. I did find out, however, that I will know my whole July schedule by the end of June. That's cool. And, I also found out that they do their best to let you off for weddings or other big family things like that that have been planned well in advance. Rock on. So, I might still be able to go to my cousin's wedding in NY in September. Sko!
Guess that's about it. Time to figure out something to have for dinner that doesn't require too much effort. I hate cooking for just me!

LOL LOL LOL! I like the term "urinary impotence." You are right, the "I can't pee" was a joke from HS. "From where," you ask? From stand-up comedy repeated by me, of course. The comic was talking about guys who are so muscular they can't put their arms flat by their sides, and would say, trying to reach his beans & franks, "I can't pee!" I'm surprised they let you come back if it was for a drug test. For one I had to do to work at CrisisLine in college, I had to sit there and drink water until I could pee! I guess they want to make sure you don't try to import clean urine or something. LOL. :-)

Yeah, I remember the "I can't pee" thing, but I was thinking we came up with "urinary impotence" having to do with something.. perhaps random drug tests for Crosby Scholars or something like that? I know it was from something like that.. or perhaps just someone having a physical and coming back with a story like mine. =) I didn't think they'd let me leave either, but I didn't even have to give them a reason. They said I would have to drink water and wait, but I just asked and they had no objections!

Barb, you need to teach Nicole how to pee at will. =)
Nicole, I'm sorry your training is so repetitive and insulting to your intelligence... RA training the third time around was almost unbearable for me, but at least I had a year in between each traning. You, on the other hand, are having to suffer through the same info several times in a row. Ugh. At least you've got buds to keep you company!
