Prego-brain
Warning to all! Prego-brain is not just an urban legend but is actually very real and very scary! Part of my brain has completely shut off. I'm not kidding. I probably should not even tell anyone this but really who is honestly reading this anyway. Probably just a few of my closest friends and family who will probably get a kick out of this. I have managed to loose my ATM card, my credit card, my drivers license and my work badge. Now, these were all lost at different times so NO I did not just loose my purse. These were all on different occasions and in the span of one week! So how is this even possible you are probably asking yourself. Well, I guess easy when you have prego-brain. To make matters worse I lost these things all in the same way...you think I would learn the first 1-2 times. You see, I wear hospital issued scrubs at work and naturally I can't carry a purse so I carry items in my scrub pockets. So this is the sequence of events. The first day, I had my atm card in my pocket to get cash out for lunch but to find the atm machine broken. So I used my atm card to buy lunch. At the end of the day I threw my scrubs in the dirty linen along with my atm card. So the next day, not having an atm card or cash I had to bring my credit card to the deli. At the end of the day I did the same damn thing. I threw my scrubs in the dirty linen along with my credit card. So a couple days go by and I don't loose anything. Monday comes around and I can't find my work badge. Now this has many consequences and is highly annoying. I can't get into the staff parking garage so need to pay to park in the visitor lot (which remember I don't have an atm card, cash or credit card so this is difficult), I can't clock-in-out so my bosses have to manually enter my hours so it's inevitable my paycheck will be missing hours, and the fact that I could get in big trouble for not wearing a badge while giving patient care. Well, also another consequence. Wednesday, they were offering the flu shot to hospital employees. Hospital employees who have their badge at least. So, I had to take my drivers license with me to get the flu shot. The good news is that they gave it to me but the bad news is that I threw it in the dirty linen, AGAIN!!! You would really think that this is all impossible. I have totally lost my mind! This is all coming from someone who has never lost a single atm card, credit card, or license in her whole life. The closest I've ever come to loosing a credit card is leaving it at the bar and forgetting to close out my tab. But really was that my fault? Not really, because in that instance I was over-served (as papa Kenney would say). So really I have never really lost any of these things before! I ,of coarse, closed the atm card and credit card but the license well you can't exactly do that. I guess I could change my name but I've grown to like it, so loosing my license could very well have irrevocable damage. Someone may try to use it for a whole number of things and try to pass as me. But if they were smart they wouldn't because being me is dicey right now.
