Jay Thomas VS The STRANGEr

One thing I've come to know over the years is that I hate stop and chats.  you know, when you see someone you know and are more or less forced to talk with.  But you know what's worse?  When you don't know the person and you are stuck in a hallway with an IV in your arm and a complete stranger starts talking to you.

Earlier today I had to go to the hospital to get a CT Scan to check out my insides.  The tech guy asked if I had any kidney problems.  I replied, "No.  But I only have one...is that going to be an issue?"  He looked at me with this blank stare that had a slight hint of "uuuuuggghhh, come on!"  He didn't say that luckily but I could see it in his eyes.  He said I needed a blood test first to find out if the ole kidney could handle the stuff they were going to pump in me.

After he stole my blood the guy took me into the hallway while we waited for the results to come back.  I sat there for a second, not being able to fulling bend my left arm, and decided to get my phone...facebook and twitter it up.  Right when I turn my phone on a lady from the other room pops her head out to say hello.  I said hi and smiled.  She made some simple joke about the guy just dropping me off in the hallway.  I pity laughed and looked at my phone.  She walked away.....and came back to keep me company. Crap taco.

She stood in the door way with a giant cup of something.  She started talking to me about my job and how she can't talk in front of people.  Really? Could have fooled me!  She was nice but really chatty.  At some point, and I'm not even sure how this happened, but she started talking about how her power went out once and it shorted out her refrigerator.  When she opened the freezer it smelled like roadkill and it cost her almost 400 dollars.  I said, "Jeez...wow....oh man...that...sucks."

As she talked I started listening to her voice and I noticed she was slurring almost every word that was coming out of her mouth.  Then I started to think, "Maybe she had a stroke." or "Maybe that's liquor in that giant cup!"  That had to be it!  I tried to control the look on my face and pretend I was listening but I was obsessed with this idea that this woman was hammered harder than the frost giants in THOR.(sorry nerd slip)

After what seemed to be an eternity she said the words that will haunt me for at least 14 more minutes, "well I should get back to work..." 

The End.
