You and T are a riot.

Unfortunately I have seen the whole range of other patients... male, female (had been crying--Hey, don't you be working your way into MY T's heart! She's MINE!!), a couple, and one little boy and one little girl (she was SO cute.. long curly brown hair, a dress with a full skirt, and cowboy boots!! joyfully prancing / dancing / skipping around the lobby.. Dad ignoring her completely.. I wanted to smack him).

So I guess I've been desensitized. Now the only ones who bug me are the new ones... (DO NOT THINK YOU WILL REPLACE ME!!).. and I can tell they are new because she leaves a clipboard out for them with a note (like she did for me my first time) to complete a very brief half page form.

Even if I don't see them sometimes I see evidence... I really really hate seeing paintbrushes soaking on her desk. That really makes me jealous! I always have to comment "You've been painting!" as if she'd had a spare hour and decided to paint with big chunky brushes to fill the time waiting for Her Very Favorite Patient...
