DearScotty

I still got it! 20/15 vision! Yes, my vision balls are better than 20/20. My hawk eyes were confirmed at the mandatory health checkup for city workers. It’s a once a year checkup for anyone employed by the city, so that includes me (not my fellow teachers). I was dressed in my normal polo and khakis teaching gear while the other town workers were dressed as if they were being tested by Gatorade labs. The whole thing was pretty uneventful although, I did get poked a couple times before they found a good vein to withdraw blood from. I’ll learn the results of the blood test when I come back in August, same goes for the urine test.

After donating my urine sample into a plastic coffee sized cup, I got in line to hand in the golden coffee. We weren’t given lids so I was standing in a line of atleast 10 people who were also holding their “coffees.” I had to keep telling myself that it was my pee that I was smelling, my pee. At the front of the line was a table with a girl working behind it. She was sitting down dunking sticks into urine and watching the stick for color changes. In front of her were cups of urine laid out as if a marathon were coming through. I was pretty disgusted when I finally reached the girl since I was able to see into all these cups. But the poor girl didn’t seem to mind that she got stuck at the piss table instead of the blood pressure queue.

I’ve made it back to the teacher’s room still nursing my wounded arm. I’ve had nothing to do all week since the kids are on summer vacation. My new addictions are Harry Potter, Shaq’s Big Challenge, and Flight of the Conchords. Oh, and I’ve finally made it to second place in my fantasy baseball league! It’s been such a productive summer! One more week until I’m back in the U.S., back in the U.S. , back in the USA.
