Awkward Phonecall

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes!  31 is no worse than 30!

Okay, so I was going about my business today, teaching math--I think--when my classroom phone rang.  It was from my OB/GYN's office.  The conversation that ensued was quite strange, I'm sure, because I felt like I was speaking in code.

Me: Hello.
S: Is this Angela?
Me: Yes. 
S: This is S at Dr. G.'s office.  You have an appointment on June 2 for your annual exam, and we need to reschedule it because Dr. G. is going to be out of town.
Me: Yes, I got a letter stating that, but I actually have an appointment of - ahem- a different nature on Friday, and I was planning to wait and ask if I still need to reschedule that appointment.
S: Well, do you know when your last exam was?
Me: Yes, it was June 1.
S: Well, it will have to be after that for your insurance to pay for it.
Me: I'm aware of that, but I was going to wait until after Friday's appointment because I may not need the other one.
S: Okay, I guess.  Have a good day.
Me: Thanks, you too.

I couldn't exactly blurt it out in front of a room full of fifth graders, now could I?  As soon as I hung up, I emailed J and had him go over and clarify for me so she wouldn't think I'm a loon.  (He works across the hall.)

Oy.

Hugs and love,
