Greetings, Forum Readers –
For a few days now, my glorious husband – the infamous “Armygas” – has been after me to post on this new forum. Not one for subtlety, he has resorted to techniques of persistency that would make even my nag-a-holic five-year-old daughter proud. He has cornered me in all areas possible to tell me I need to “git ‘er done” – from the treadmill (“you got a sec?” to the shower (“when you’re done…). He even called me while I was at the playground with the kids, the urgency in his voice so clear that not even my crappy Sprint cell phone coverage could conceal it. I’d venture to say that I have never been hounded so fervently, not even by the tiny Asian lady who gave birth to me.
It’s not that I had any negative feelings about posting here. I’m happy to do so, though I’d caution against anyone thinking I am a voice of absolute authority on what it’s like to share your partner with that self-centered bitch of a mistress, Annie Stesia. My stalling in posting was just pregnancy-induced passive aggressive behavior. Armygas called me a “blog-fame slut”. I was frankly just annoyed with him, but scientific-types always poke fun at those of us who are more comfortable in the creative realms. Jealousy is an ugly thing.
Frankly, I’m surprised he is so eager for me to be a part of this forum. Usually, men don’t seem to like it when their wives poke fun at their mistresses. But since I’ve been begged to do so, here goes:
Annie Stesia –from my point of view- is a self-centered, resource-sucking, time-consuming bitch. Obviously, she releases her subjects every now and again, as evidenced by my current knocked up status. But overall, she enchants all her victims with promises of professional fulfillment in the forms of challenges, knowledge, and – outside of the military realm – financial compensation. (Note to readers: if your CRNA/SRNA partner comes sailing through the front door one day with the bright idea of joining the military, it is just my humble opinion that you should discourage this path by all means necessary – be they verbal or with a frying pan upside the head). Just kidding. At least Armygas says I am.
For those of you with partners still in CRNA school, you may be laboring under the false delusion that their obsession with Annie Stesia will wind down after they graduate. Well, labor on, blind partners! There are times we must tell ourselves falsehoods to make it through the days. Like today, I told myself that with all the jogging I’ve been doing, I won’t gain more than 15-20 pounds with this pregnancy. That’s less likely than it is that my blond, blue-eyed children will wake one day more closely resembling their Asian ancestors. And this, fair friends, is even more likely than it is that Ann will release her grasp on your partners’ hearts, minds, and souls once they graduate. In all reality, my experience of living with a CRNA is like being in a sexist 1950s marriage – you accept the bitch of mistress and profit from you partners’ guilt over devoting so much time away from you to her. Anything from tropical vacations to jewelry to expensive purses can be yours for the asking, if you can make peace with that bitch of a mistress, Annie Stesia.
Hope to hear from you,
Elana
