Music: Ben Folds - Fired
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So yesterday I spent the whole day stamping numbers on pages.

It was kind of soothing in a repetative way. Gave me dead arm, though (I had to press down hard on the stamp, plus I had to stap over 1,000 times...No exaggeration).

But the story here is that I know more about the guy whose file I was stamping than i ever wanted to. Case and point: I wanted to kinda know what the documents I was stamping were (I'm here to learn, after all), so I was giving them a little once over before I sent them to the "stamped" pile. There was one medical doument in table format were on the left was the heading and on the right was a fill in the blank section for diagnosis and things like that. Mainly the right side looked like a lump of text to me since I was starting to go blind with monotony at this point.

I hit this one page...On the left I saw "Condition"...On the right, amid the blurry small text...I saw a very scary handwritten word:

"Cockburn"

I almost spit up my coffee in horror. 'What the hell kind of workers comp case is this!?' I thought, 'And why would a doctor be so...blunt!?'

Sure enough, turns out that was just the doctor's name. The client's medical problem was in no way related to the singeing of boy-parts. But it still has me thinking...

Damn...That doctor must have gotten teased to shit back in middle school...
