Hello to new and familiar faces!
In my old life, I was a vertebrate palaeontologist who studied fossilized bird and dinosaur footprints.
Now, I work as a remote medical scribe for a podiatry clinic. I do #BirdGlamour a #scicomm project where I create makeup looks based on birds and other critters!🐡
Face encircled with a lichen ring with eyes and lips made up in Pacific Golden Plover egg colors and patterns: white with speckled black, brown, and rust. Full face makeup of a Great Horned Owl skull. Eye makeup in Red-throated Loon colors and patterns: grey lip with upper thin white and black outer eye stripes, under Eye in rust red, black lips. Full skull face makeup with painted on black and orange Larder Beetles.

Well, that was... something.
No, I don't have it in me to watch Ouija Shark 2.

The father looks like he learned how to act from watching episodes of "The Haunting."

Totally doesn't look like it was made from a Michael's decorative crate.

Yeah, this doesn't look like it was filmed on someone's iPhone in the slightest.

Picked up a big from the hospital (I'm assuming that's the source).
While I'm feeling wretched, am I feeling wretched enough to watch "Ouija Shark"?

The level of extrovertedness they were trying to force on people was (it felt like to me, as a comfy with my keeping to myself person) pathological. How hard is it to just let people be comfy and quiet?

Oh, and then they keep trying to engage Rich on conversation while he's waiting for me. He is trying to write: he has a very obvious red book and is NOT (and would never) put out "Please interrupt my quiet and very obvious busy with writing," vibes and was sitting as far from them as possible.

Thanks: I'm guessing they needed much more training/instructions.

They were volunteers for a different clinic, not my procedure. Once I was noted not to be on the list, they should have just directed me to the wicket rather than keeping me there describing the tardy (Name). It was too much.

The only way I could disengage from this circular conversation of why I wasn't (Name) was to state "I'm going over here now," and am rescued by the actual procedure nurse when I get to the wicket.
I'm sure they meant well, but that kind of welcoming committee I could have done without.

They ask: Are you (another person)?
I say no, of course, and give my name. Saying that I'm not on the list, they continue to insist that they're looking for (Name).
I'm thrown because I'm most definitely booked and checked in. Anxiety spikes.
Then it clicks: they're volunteers...

So I had my procedure yesterday (all good), but dang, the check-in experience was odd. Betting my first procedural experience, I was nervous AF.
I'm directed to the proper department, and there are two senior women in the waiting area with clipboards. They pounce...
