Minding Your P’s and Q’s
Problem or Possibility?
I have this recurring N I G H T M A R E.
I’m alone in a stark, white room with no windows, no doors.
Over the PA, Charlayne’s voice:
Y’all remember the 3 P’s… the 3P’s… the 3P’s…
Purell. Post-its. Politeness
I wake up with this uncontrollable urge to rush to a sink— to either barf or wash my hands.
Charlayne’s recording in my brain goes on an on, like the Jeopardy theme song.
” The way to keep from spreadin’ germs is by washin’ your hands in Purell, Purell, Purell.”
I should buy stock in Purell (oh yeah– no money to buy stock.)
The “P’s” can be such an Ffing PAIN!
Especially when it comes to a
PARTICULAR PHYSICIAN
who’s
PARANOID about PRIVACY
Why am I even thinking about him?
He’s
PASSIVE
PROPER
PREDICTABLE.
And tries just a little too hard to be…
PERFECT!
PLUS — it’s impossible to get noticed when his Stalker PATIENTS are constantly getting in my way, showering him with–
imported chocolates,
elaborate flower arrangements,
God knows what else!
Apparently he doesn’t have time for blog reading or me.
(So thankfully he’ll never see this.)
But, WAIT! How did I even get on this subject anyway?
I was talking about the P’s.
OK, so thinking more half-fullish (part of my New Decade Resolutions) I think the way to minding my P’s is to create my own, right?
When he eventually decides to PURSUE me, he’ll discover my PASSIONS and PHONE me with his PHENOMENAL PLAN. (I can’t wait!)
So maybe the P’s aren’t such a pain after all. I guess it’s all in one’s PERSPECTIVE.
Ahaha!

[…] the flip side — the opposite reactive-style can irritating as well — like someone who doesn’t react, or reacts passively – like a certain Doctor I know. He tends to avoid confrontation by refusing to engage, mainly because he takes time to think […]
[…] BUT… if I could control everything, some of the good things that come out of the bad would no longer be possible – like meeting Dr. Right in a place I’d never go if I’d ever had a choice in the matter. […]
[…] He’s not your typical type. But what if it’s time for a change? Changes are good if they’re good. Or are you looking for a quick fix? Do you feel broken inside? Is it the white coat effect? Is your pulse racing because he’s an MD? […]

Pffft haha this was really fun to read! And what makes you think he’s not paying attention? As a male, I know that the “playing it cool” game is still very prevalent.
Man, now I can’t use P’s without snickering anymore.

Playing it cool is an understatement. He’s at 32 degrees fahrenheit!
