Psychiatric evaluation and a parking ticket..

After work today I went down to Minneapolis to take the psychiatric evaluation test to make sure I'm not too crazy to get the surgery. Lets just say I wasn't crazy when I went in there, but I may very well have been by the time I walked out! The test is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota_Multiphasic_Personality_Inventory)

I got there at about 9am after sitting in traffic for what seemed like a lifetime, and three hours/567 questions later, I had completed the exam. They ask all these true or false questions, and some of them are just wacky! By about the 4th time getting to a question that said something along the lines of "I sometimes want to hurt others", I was thinking to myself "yeah, the damn guy that came up with this ridiculous test!"

I'm not going to hold back on this, I think it was the most ridiculous thing ever, and was a complete waste of my damn time! I really wish somebody would have told me ahead of time that it was so long too.

I got done with the test, and was heading out to my car when I realized I only had 2 hours on the meter. Sure enough, there was a parking ticket waiting to greet me when I got out to my car. Hmph... I just have to remember that when I'm all done with all of this, it will all be worth it!

In any case, I did get an appointment scheduled with the psychologist for next Monday. I also called up to make an appointment with the nutritionist, told them I'd got my letter(Wow, was that ever quick! haha), and was able to schedule an appointment right after my psych evaluation. So, things are beginning to take shape.
