Its time for a rant.

I went to the medical clinic today, at 1:00. There is one doctor on staff that I like. He treated my broken foot and I was very impressed with his care. So, I thought I'd try to get an appointment to see him specifically. I didn't know the doctor roster, so I had to physically go in to the clinic to find this information out.

It was after 1:00. I know this because I went out to start my truck and it wouldn't start, AGAIN (we aren't going to talk about that in this blog) so I was late leaving my yard. So I know it was after 1:00. I went into the clinic and it was deserted. Fine, its just after lunch, the place is empty momentarily, as people come back from lunch breaks.

I stood there for 15 minutes. No one that could help me book an appointment, made an appearance. I did find one person, but she was unable to help me, and assured me someone would be out shortly. More time rolls by. Finally I got pissed off and left. I'll phone later, since I know the schedule now.

That pisses me off. Has the whole world completely stopped giving a damn? I hate this crap. It is not so much to ask that people be conscientious at work. You have an appointment desk so for crying out loud, staff the damn thing!! The phone rang at least a half dozen times while I waited in person. You can't even forward the stupid phone to a place were you can answer it? The world does NOT stop from 12:00 until whenever you deem it reasonable to go back to your desk. We have agenda's and lives, and appointments and we'd thank it if you could do your stupid-ass job, and be there when it can be reasonably expected that you SHOULD be there.

Christ, I'm pissed off!! If you need me, I'll be dousing my enraged head in this bucket of water.
