Guess what I have to do!

As bad as that must have been, imagine how it is to be on the other end. I've been manning a desk many a time when some random person comes in off the street with a jar of shit...and they're not all sanitary people or tightly sealed jars, let me tell you.

My favorite was the lady who brought in her kid, still smelling of shit, plopping him down on the counter, and loudly declared, "HE GOTS PINWORM." Then she knocked over the shit-sample (it looked like a sherbet container with handles) and it landed facedown on my keyboard. Thankfully, the lid was on.

Stool samples aren't good news for anyone. Here's hoping you're parasite free.

(Aren't you glad that doctors don't work like the vets and they don't stick a q-tip up your bum to get it out if you can't produce a sample? Heh.)

EEEW! At least I had the courtesy to collect and bag the samples cleanly and properly! You poor bastard.

Thank you. I hope so too.

Update: Well, it turns out that the stool sample and the blood test came back negative. No parasites in my guts. They're scheduling some scans, hopefully they will be able to diagnose what's wrong with me and we won't have to move onto a colonoscopy.
