Random ????

In case you haven't seen it yet, my friend Cara just did a hilarious post about questions she has been asked while pregnant. I am totally going to copy her, however, since I'm not pregnant, I thought I would apply it to another part of my life. I definitely get some random questions about my job...an operating room nurse working part time for 2 plastic surgeons. It usually starts like this:

Q: Doesn't the blood and guts totally gross you out??
A: Yes, that is why I chose to work in surgery where you see blood all day long! (Hello!!!)

Q: You guys have a radio and a computer in the operating room??
A: Yes, what do you think, we are operating in a cave??? Yes, we have all the modern conveniences...even a telephone!!

Now we will move on to some of my favorites...these are the ones I get asked when they find out I work for a plastic surgeon.

Q: Are yours real??? ( I get asked this ALL the time...and I am not big!!)
A: Are what real?? Because surely a complete stranger is not asking me if I have breast implants!!! Apparently the world thinks you must have fake boobs to work for a plastic surgeon.

Q: What all have you had done??
A: I just met you 3 minutes ago...do you really think I am going to tell you my plastic surgery history?? My husband doesn't even know some of it!!

Q: Does your boss look like McSteamy from Grey's Anatomy??
A: Umm..no, even though both of them would like to think so!! Grey's Anatomy is a TV show...not all plastic surgeons look like McSteamy!

Q: Can you get me a discount??
A: Seriously?? I've known you for 30 seconds and you want me to get you a discount on plastic surgery?? Ummm..NO!!!

And then of course, you have those people who will show you all kinds of body parts to get your opinion!! Unless you are a close, personal friend of mine or family....I do not want to see your breasts, saggy stomach, or cottage cheese!! Thank you very much!!

Until next time...
