My first funny moment at work...it think i am starting to warm up to it there :-)
Ok, so i had an extremeley hilarious moment at work the other day. Just to preface this story though, everyone should know that the old receptionist that i replaced name was Robin, and the nurse's name is Sue. So, before all of our patients come, we pull their charts so we can have them ready for when they come in. One of the patients that was coming in, oddly enough had the first name "BalBala". Robin (the old receptionist) scheduled her a while back so i had never spoken with her before. So, Sue (the nurse) and I thought the name was a little strange, but were maybe expecting some type of African woman. Lo and behold, however, BalBala was a small white old woman. When Sue called "Balbala" back into the doctor's room, "balbala" answerd back with a short retort of "No, it's Balbala!!!" I was thinking maybe we didn't stress the right consonant or something. So, a couple minutes later, sue comes out and is so embarassed because come to find out, her name is Barbara not Balbala!!! (the poor old lady has a speech impedement and cannot pronounce her R's) Sad for the lady, embarassing for Sue, but hilarious and giddy-making for me! (not hilarious that the lady couldn't speak, but you know...)
