The Boob Room

So I had to take off work this morning for some 'follow-up' medical tests (I'm fine btw). You can guess from the title what those were. Anyway, I'm taken back out into a 'ladies only' waiting area so I don't have to change out of my tastefully hot pink gown while they check to see if they need even more pictures. I sit down to wait, and discover to my horror that they've thoughtfully stocked this waiting area with all kinds of magazines made for women.....women unlike me that is.

My choices were things like Oprah, People, Cottage Living. Not anything readable like Car & Driver, Guns & Ammo, or even a Field & Stream in sight. Hmmm, I thought. Overlooking an important female minority here, mainly me. But it was much much worse than nothing to read. I glanced at the tv, since FoxNews plays on most of the tvs in that facility.

Sweet Mother of God, it was tuned to Good Morning America. And I couldn't find the remote or reach the tv to change it.

I don't think I've ever been so glad to get out of a place & back to work in my life.

I dislike waiting rooms like that too - at least get something generic like Reader's Digest or National Geographic for those of us that aren't Oprafied!

I finally found an old Good Housekeeping, which was the best of a bad lot. I would've killed for a National Geographic.

And having all female techs isn't 'comforting' either. Maybe it's just me, but that's actually kinda ookie considering what they do to you.
