My heart STOPPED this afternoon when I ducked into my Fozzie Heights office after being at the other campus all morning. The secretaries are usually good about opening the mail and organizing the stuff for you to read, stuff for you to sign, stuff for you to send on after your perusal, etc. Except that I spotted a large brown envelope in my inbox, from the legal firm that represents St. Fozzie's and Muppet Corporate.
I instantly broke out into a cold sweat, sure that this was the subpoena from one of the malpractice cases I thought I dodged several weeks ago. I had two cases I was sweating but after we waived the hospital portion of the fees, I thought everything had blown over.
As I tore into the envelope, I saw my career flashing before my eyes and exploding in a plume of radioactive uranium to an early death. Shaking as I rifled through the paperwork inside, I couldn't locate the suing company's name. Who's ending my career?! Who are they? Who dares to do this to me?!
Pausing to READ the documents inside, I saw that it was merely an invitation (and accompanying coursework) for a legal conference in which they were discussing nonprofit healthcare and healthcare reform. And would I be willing to attend?
Yeah…cue the deep breath. They REALLY shouldn't send those things in the same envelopes they use to ship subpoenas!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who panics at the site of envelope return addresses. LOL. You're my favorite dork.
