I guess you would pick unknown if you were intersex? They could have just called it other.

I think it may have been more for statistical purposes. It was a really basic form asking just name, gender, birthdate, healthcard number, and "do you belong to any of these high risks groups?" That last question was marked as being for statistical purposes only.
The whole thing was superefficient. From line-up to leaving, I was in there for just over an hour.

This is the first thing I've ever seen giving options other than male/female from a district health authority.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Maybe the form could be filled out by more than just the subject. If it's a baby...

I thought of that. I can't see it being filled out by someone who wasn't in a position to know (parent/guardian/health care provider) but that's the only possibility I could think of.

Our wings are not tired.
My hearing has been going (not volume, just articulation)and I've been feeling pressure in both of my ears for a while. I am positive that I have two softball-sized balls of wax in both of my ears, and have Buffistas to thank for this assumption. I FINALLY made an appointment for tomorrow afternoon to have the assumed softballs removed. It will be so lovely to hear again.

OK, I know this is not news to most people, but it is SO LOVELY to have a proper dinner! And tonight's was all leftovers/premade, so I didn't even have to do anything.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Suzi, speaking as a middle school teacher, what you did is def. NOT helicoptering. I had a parent last year who emailed me once a week for a grade/status update (our system was not online), and I didn't consider that helicoptering. Luckily, my new district has the kids' grades online, so the parents can check whenever.
Also, I prefer emails. It's really hard to get in touch with parents via phone and emails are much easier, I find.

Okay, so glad I'm not alone here. I have itchy ears just due to allergies and whatnot. Every single day, I think I'm pushing wax into my ears when I scratch and will need to have my ginormous ball o'wax removed soon.

That's what has happened to me, ChiKat. I am dreading the Q-tip conversation, but I want this shit OUT.
