I went to get my annual mammogram today, and this is the first year they haven't asked if I could possibly be pregnant. I mean, I get it. I'm 49. But couldn't you have just taken two seconds and asked, and then I could respond with a wink "oh ho, that ship sailed LONG ago." And that would have made my day. But nooooooooo.
Oh lord. You'd think medical people would have familiarity and smarts, but then you'd think that about lots of people.

Medical people are jaded as fuck, man. They don't care about shit. A lot of them are also way into themselves.

I've never actually had a bad experience with a doctor or nurse as an adult. The "worst" was when I froze my ear by not wearing a toque and the ER doc asked me quite pointedly, "How old are you?" (I was 19.)

In retrospect, I deserved it.

Yet to hear American pundits describe it, Canadian healthcare is a step below a Stalinist gulag.

Pundit? More like "fund it." And by "it," I mean your own healthcare costs.

Embrace your geezerhood. Xers were built to get old if not gracefully, then sardonically. Or maybe it's just me—I feel like my personality has finally hit its proper age.
