Sometimes Things Are Better Left Unsaid

What a long week last week was. School was from Monday thru Thursday all day and Friday was Hospice all day. All and all a pretty good week. Thursday we visited a different building on campus to tour the science building where we will be having our clinicals.

Here is an example of how tired I was and really not paying attention to things around me. Someone came up to one of my classmates while we were in the hallway of the science building. Apparently they knew each other. They have a 5 minute conversation and the person walks away.

Jodi to her classmate: "Oh, where do you know him from?"

Classmate to Jodi: "You mean her."

Open mouth insert foot. It turns out that they went to high school together and that everyone makes that mistake. Phew! Still don't like the taste of my foot though. I have to remember Tony Randall's (as Felix Unger) rule of never assuming.

I am going off to bed now. I am totally wiped out. My homework assignment knocked me out! Good night all!

Woopsie!
The dictionary people really need to add a pronoun that is sexless like "it" but not as rude, so people can say it and not be embarrassed when you're not sure, or think it's one sex and it's really the other.

OMG! How mortifying! But you know, just give yourself a break. It happens. I think I've told you that once I patted a fellow worker's pooch and said, " Oh how sweet! so when are you due?" Of course she wasn't pregnant. Ugh. I had to change my job after that. But you know what? The other day I went to Luby's for dinner and the cashier asked me if I was a senior citizen. I am at least 20 years away from that! Apparently I am not the only one who has the foot in mouth problem:)
