Had a kid bring his wet, bloody tooth and plop it right on my desk.

C'mon now!

Or the kid that did running knee slide into my office.

C'mon now!

The ones old enough to cover their mouths but choose to cough right in your face instead.

All together: C'mon now!!

Some things just make me shake my head.

Just had a kid bring in some OTC liquid allergy medication. Had all the paperwork filled out, so I was pretty happy. Until I checked the bottle out. Expired in 9/2010!

Gosh...you are soooo picky!!!

I'm sorry I cannot give a medication that has been expired longer than my kindergarten students have been alive, it's school policy

Haven't you heard that expiration dates are just a way big pharma gets you to buy product?:sarcastic:

My throat hurts.... C'mon now! I can't get sick!! I've got sh*t to do!

Ok, I'm serious here. This sickness CANNOT continue. Sore throat, body aches, cough, and foggy brain.

1/5 Stars would not buy this immune system again. Poor performance.

Yes to the soup! No to the saltines! They ruin the broth! ;)

Homemade soup -yum.

As long as the saltines are on the side (smeared in butter) or the cornbread is on the side (slathered in butter)... it is ok.

I love the broth of soup . . .don't want it gummed up with crackers and such. :nailbiting: Plus the hot broth feels good on a sore throat.

:inlove:

Deep breaths.

My direct supervisor cannot admit when she is wrong. I think she is physically incapable of it. A few months ago I said something about immunization requirements and when a certain one was made mandatory and she said that I was mistaken on the year that it was made mandatory. I looked into it and found that I had been correct. The next time she was in my office, I pulled up the Dept of Health website to show her (not in an "I told you so" way, but I wanted her to know why I was not pursuing it any further). She continued to tell me that it was incorrect and that I must have found the wrong page. While we are both looking at it she is insisting that she was correct. Later that day she called me from her office to let me know she had researched it herself and conceded. She supposed she could have been thinking of something else.

Today I am fuming because she was subbing in my office while I was out on Friday and moved all my paperwork. I emailed her to ask where something was and she said that she never saw it. I ended up finding it in the paperwork she had moved and she is insistent that I had to have put it there Thursday before I left. Ug.

That is so frustrating when people can't admit they are wrong, or they argue with you over every suggestion or point you are making.

I just had a student come in to be seen because of stomach pain x 10 minutes after eating. Sigh.

I told the student I don't even medicate for pain x 10 minutes unless it's an obvious acute injury. "But this has never happened before!!!" Poop, burp, THEN come see me in an hour if you are still having pain.

A few notes before the holidays:

1.)Parents, please do not take your child to get their ears pierced in the morning and then drop them off at school.

2.)Poked in the closed eye with a breadstick is not a medical emergency and does not require friends to transport you to the clinic.

3.)200+ kids spraying the principal with silly string will result in sheer joy and also lots of headaches and dizziness from the fumes!

4.)Mud on the pant leg of your jeans is NOT, I repeat NOT THE END OF THE WORLD!, you will live, promise!

Thank you and C'Mon now!
