9 Feb 2010Last Wednesday I was involved in a car accident. My back hurts sooo bad. Back pain is absolutely the worst (broken ribs probably hurt more). Some idiot rear ended me. I ended up taking a trip to the ER to see a doctor. Earlier today, I made a follow up visit to my family doctor.
While on the topic of doctors, I have a rant:
I HATE going to the doctors because no matter what doctor you visit, they overbook appointments. I had an appointment scheduled for 2:30pm earlier this afternoon and I didn’t see the doctor until 3:15 which brings me to the point: all doctors offices are terrible with time. I don’t understand why this industry gets away with this. If anyone else you did business with showed up late on a consistent basis, you would refuse to do business with them. Why do they get away with this crap? It’s not like they don’t know what time it is because they ALL wear nice watches.

3 Feb 2010It is Twenty-ten and Mike Halvorsen is back to blogging, again. I couldn’t even begin to tell you how many times I have been here before. I’m guessing this domain has seen a good 7 or 8 different iterations over the years. A friend sent me a link to Archives.org and man, that really blows my mind looking back on the different designs and versions of my site. I had a pretty good “community” following back in the day. I had an actively engaged following that is hard to find today, especially with the influx of social media sites. Hardly anyone has a personal blog these days and I’m not even sure why I’m starting again.
I guess I just miss it. I’m going to see how often I can update this site and how fresh I can keep it. We’ll see how this goes.
