Catching up from a week away
Cooling my heels in a doctor's waiting room today gave me an hour-plus to catch up on Daily Bulletins from my time away. Interesting stuff.
I liked the campaign flier in Pomona, apparently put out by the firefighters union, mimicking a newspaper and titled Pomona's Better Times, with "Times" in giant type. Thank goodness it wasn't Pomona's Better Bulletin or we'd be offended.
Did you know Ontario Councilman Jason Anderson was named "lawyer of the year" by the local Bar Association? I'll have to ask him if that's an honor or not.
And speaking of bars, we learned today that Elliott Rothman, a councilman and mayoral candidate in Pomona, was arrested on suspicion of DUI. That's about all we've learned as of mid-afternoon because the Police Department was told to refer media calls to City Hall and yet City Hall won't call us back.
Good times. And good column fodder. I should've thanked the doc for keeping me waiting.
Having spent the better part of an hour waiting to see my doctor earlier this week, I cringe at the the thought that you would thank him/her. Don't encourage them!!
I've always considered doctor's waiting rooms, and the exam room where we wait another eternity, veritable pits of pestilence and fully expect to come down with something in the days following the "appointment."
I usually get sent to a lab for blood work and the same dismal conditions apply.
Better that you should catch up on your reading while riding an exercise bike. You'll be healthier and you and the doctor will be pleased with the results.
Waiting for symptoms...
