Skin-cancered sister B. told me to run to the dermatologist, not walk, when she found out about the bleeding mole. I suppose I already knew that, but the voice of experience has really convinced me. Now I, the insurance administrator here, need to figure out if I need to get a referral for a dermatologist or if that's a self-referral thing through my HMO. I hope it's self-referral. I don't want to see my PCP first (though I have things to discuss with her, too).

In other news, it feels as though a woolly mammoth is sitting on my chest, but I'm okay with that because my archenemy for the Board meeting cannot attend (and I won't be here for the June one and there isn't a meeting in July, so I don't have to see the guy until August, yay). Excellent.

HMO Hell

Me: I need to make an appointment - skin cancer in family history, need a mole-check pronto!

Them: Eh, if you already have it, what's another month or two?

Ah, summer, when Metro Transit gets so bad I want to cry

Seriously, the bus is almost always right on time during autumn, winter and most of spring. But toward the end (aka now) of spring, the backsliding starts and I can't figure out why. Traffic patterns must really change during the summer, though it doesn't really make logical sense that they would.

Now's the time when I don't have to rush to make my bus - it won't show up anyway. While I stand and wait, I'll see three of a different bus route roll on by and still...nothing. Then my bus will come, it'll be jam-packed with people who stink. About five minutes after the bus departs, it's very likely another bus on my route will show up and will be empty.

Drives me nuts!

Today the driver was particularly horrendous, but I've never seen him before so assume he's never driven the route. Well, that and the fact that he blew right by at least two stops, including the one I requested. Him: Sorry, I didn't realize you pulled the cord. Me: Yessss, the little ding and the fact that it's lit up didn't clue you in? The other couple of times, the bus stop was full of people waiting. Didn't even pause.

And then there was the couple with the majorly obnoxious kid.

Dear CSI powers that be,

You are all really dumb. Let me tell you why:

And in conclusion, Grissom looked ridiculous in those jammies.
