A new day!

That poor dentist. I think he's as afraid of me as I am of him and he has the weapons! He looked at my tooth and poked around and then sat down to deliver the news. You would have thought he was telling me that I had terminal cancer. I finally had to tell him to just spit it out (love telling a dentist that) and he said that he could not save the tooth. This was far more traumatic for him than for me. Don't get me wrong. I like the tooth - it matches the others, fills in the row, etc. But, it's not like I don't have others. And, it's not like it a front one. It's near the back.

He said that the gum line was so low and the roots weren't strong enough to hold it. So he's going to yank it out on October 8. Honestly, I'm not as stressed about the yanking as I would be about fixing a filling or getting a new one. A swift yank beats a long drilling any day in my book. Plus, the insurance covers all but $30!!! The last broken tooth cost me $200 out of pocket. This is like a fire sale!!

Then when I got to work I found out that it looks like Mr. Slick New Guy (the one I cleaned up my cubicle for yesterday) isn't going to be my boss's boss after all. He's going to manage another area. My years of corporate life have made me very good at reading corporate politics, picking up on inside info, etc. but I sure missed the boat on this one. I am glad, however. This guy has weasely eyes.

Time to get back to work...
