Took off work early today, drove an hour to get stuck in traffic, and was then told "Your appointment was an hour ago" when I called my doctor's office from said traffic to tell them I'd be late.
Not "Gee Mr. Sunrise, but we had you scheduled for an hour ago..." No, it was "You were scheduled for an hour ago," in much the same perfunctory tone it was said the first time this happened not all that long ago.
I like the doctor herself, but this is one of many frustrating incidents that have happened over the last couple of years. So frack it, I'm getting a new doctor. One closer to work and home, and hopefully one with a more organized office.

I started to feel bad about not being able to remember the name of one of the seasonal ladies that stayed, but then she's called me John (not my real name) every chance she's had.

HA! adorable. These two little kids were waiting on thier parents in the lobby had to be around 6-8 the little girl went around the corner and then little boy went to looking for her and when he went around the corner his sister would cut into our breakfast room so he would go down looking for her and she would sneak back into the lobby and keep him searching. They weren't running or making noise just playing slow and methodical. she finally snuck up on him. was so cute.

John – steak sounds nice but fries…I had fish and chips the other day and after I ate the fries up I felt like oh my god its so sinful…I mean 100 g of French fries is 312 calories. And felt really guilty afterwards. Again I’m a salad-eating cat, so I suppose my system can’t really take oily and greasy stuff very well now. Really if I were to order a steak, I’d ask them to change the sides to a baked potato(no sour cream and spring onion but please give me bacon bits). I can’t take fries these days. And I really don’t understand how people can take fries on a regular basis. Nor drink coke on a regular basis either. I mean there are like 9 teaspoons of sugar in a can of coke? Arrrghh the sin!
Also I had Hummus, a salad and a Chicken Sharwama for lunch. I love Hummus and Falafels…gets better when you get the Lebanese bread to dip with Hummus.
Then I had brownies for desert.
Also, Freehold DM – the place my family is going to for Chinese New Year has smoked mackerel sashimi. I will try some.

If it is smoked is it still sashimi?

K I was just curious.

Hmm so my assertion would be that it of course comes with sashimi and also the smoked mackerel. I've gotten plates like that they would put the sashimi then some cooked salmon as well.

If I am correct, it is a male Polish diminutive of "moose". If I'm wrong, I'm probably calling him "fiberglass" by accident....that is one cool name.I call my son Łośiek. (Nickname, not real name.) Is that wrong?Word of advice: Take Polish names it generates with a grain of salt... It often gives the wrong gender second name. There are a precious few cases where feminine name can be given as a second name to males (Jan Maria - i.e. John Mary), and many names have variants for both genders (e.g. Antoni/Antonia, Wacław/Wacława, Kaziemierz/Kazimiera), but generally Polish names are gender-specific.Say hello to my little friend."Ms. Scint, give me a fake name. I can't think of one."
"Bob."
"A different name?"
"Smith."...so I had a few kids decide that the soldier in their narrative prompt was stationed at Ft. Bob Smith.
In my RotRL campaign, my players wanted to interact with every NPC they ever met. And, of course, the first question they would ask would be, "What's your name?"
They delighted in this because I'm terrible with names.
So, a la Gamers: Dorkness Rising (couldn't find the clip to link), if an NPC was named "Willem" or "Willemina", it meant, "Please leave this NPC alone. They're not worth talking to."
You are (mostly) correct. It's diminutive form of Łoś, though it is written "łosiek" - si in Polish is very similar to ś, and when a word ending with ś or ć gets an -i... ending due to declension, the ś or ć changes to s and c, because -i already softens it enough.
Łoś, beyond meaning "moose" is commonly used to show a degree of disdain for quality of someone's thought processes, usually naivety or committing a dumb mistake ("Ty łosiu!" -> "you dumbass!", "Ale łoś!" -> "what a dumbass"). Its mild enough to be used among friends and family (I couldn't count how many times my brother called me that when he disagreed with my actions or opinions).
It might be related to the use of word "jeleń" (deer) to refer to a victim of a fraud or deception, or simply a sucker.

I'm gonna have fun at US Customs today. I know damn well my bags are getting searched, and repacking will be a pain. I know I'm getting searched because the tax free allowance for bringing alcohol into the US is 1 liter, and I have about 5 liters. The tax itself won't be too bad. For beer, it's something like 45 cents per liter. It's just time consuming.
Ah, well. I have an 8 hour layover in Los Angeles, so I have time for this, and I am well forewarned.

Thank you, that is interesting.
My dad and his brothers used osioł for that type of insult; I wonder if they were just trying to turn American insults back into Polish.I guess this is one of the main reasons that I remain teaching at my school... either the parents were born here in the States, or maybe one parent was born in Taiwan or HK, and they don't want their children to lose the language and sense of cultural identity. And the children are American through and through. They will make fun of their parents or uncles who maybe went to public school here and say, "His Chinese is not good" dismissively, but all they talk about or act out on the playground are American television shows. And even in a school like ours, the culture is corrupted and Americanized, because how can it not be? So I understand what's at stake for them and what they stand to lose. And I also know that it's hopeless and inevitable.

a fascinating history, with respect to nicknames and insults.
Wife went to school with someone whose family nickname was "fat ass pig" in chinese. Incredibly insulting in english, but endearing in Chinese to an extent.
She was very popular with the boys due to her curvaceous figure in high school, so I guess she got the last laugh.

In my experience, life is actually *much* easier when you have something to declare. The border agents just assume that if you're bothering to declare something, then you're an honest, lawful person, so they don't spend much time checking anything else.
Just be open, friendly, and helpful and you can sometimes get through the line even faster than the non-delcarers!

(a) Provide proof of the contract,
(b) Provide a written statement from the employer that they could not find any Canadians to do the job,
(c) Pay a nominal fee ($100 Canadian) for a work license.
So it was simple, easy paperwork, but the work license was a complete mystery to us: Some of us got the license for just the week of work, others got it for a month, others got it for 3 months, etc. I really don't think the border agents knew how long the license was supposed to last, so they just winged it.
The difference between NobodysHome and his co-workers:
One of my co-workers for whatever reason decided that the Canadian demand for money for a work order was "unconstitutional". Yeah, I don't get it, either. But he argued with the border agents. He refused to pay. He demanded to speak to an American representative. He tried to leave the gate and move on.
So he got to spend the night in a Canadian holding cell, all over $100 Canadian that the company would reimburse him for! In fact, it was part of our contracts that the employing company would pay all fees, including the license. Needless to say, our manager was incensed with him because she had to send someone else up to cover his course, since, y'know, he was in jail and refused entry to Canada.
So I showed up. I told the border agents I was there to perform work, and there was some kind of fee involved. They were unaware of it. I showed them all the paperwork I'd brought with me. I chatted with them. They found the necessary paperwork. We joked around about my co-worker spending a night in Canadian jail.
So I walked out with a yearlong work license for Canada, making me the #1 go-to guy for Canadian work. And Ottawa is a beautiful, beautiful city.
But geez. Don't argue with the border agents.

My dad and his brothers used osioł for that type of insult; I wonder if they were just trying to turn American insults back into Polish.
Osioł (donkey) is used in a similar way in Polish, though łoś, has slightly more of a victim/sucker/loser vibe, while osioł is primarily focusing on dumb, especially, though not exclusively stubborn type of dumb. I'd also say that łoś is more often used with a degree of either sympathy or patronizing contempt, though it might be a very personal feeling and others might feel differently.

A few more animal insults in Polish:
Suka (female dog, b$$@~): either a seriously insulting way of speaking of a woman, or a police van.
Krowa (cow), stara krowa (old cow), or maciora (female pig, sow): insulting way of referring to a woman, especially older.
Świnia (pig): general insult especially toward someone who is dirty, unkempt, or sexually creepy.
Prosię, prosiak (pigglet): much less insulting than the last one , referring usually to physical dirt, though it can occasionally refer to a dirty mind. Can be used somewhat sympathetically ("jesteś brudny jak prosię" -> your are dirty like a pigglet is a common thing for mothers to say to their children... or blue-collared husbands).
Kura domowa (house hen): not really an insult but dismissive way of referring to housewife, especially lacking in confidence and social skills, especially when she has no life of her own, no hobby, etc.
Orzeł (eagle): nominally used in positive way to refer to someone that excels in the subject, but more often used sarcastically or in negations to express condescension ("prawdziwy orzeł intelektu" -> "true eagle of intellect", "nie jest orłem intelektu" -> "(he's) not an eagle of intellect").
Żmija (viper, adder): someone untrustworthy, traitor, slick person.
Koza (goat), głupia koza (stupid goat), głupia gęś (stupid goose): naive girl or woman, especially young one.
