9:00am. Ugh. I have to finish my paper today (an op-ed piece), and I feel like I'm slogging through mud. Mentally that is. I've got a good start but right now it feels rather disjointed and unorganized. I thought it would be easier ~ never had an instructor ask our opinion before, so that's refreshing. Now, if only it wasn't going to be graded!
3:00pm Done. I am happy with the paper, although I'm not sure I was strong enough in my opinions. We'll see, as I've already sent it to my instructor!!! Yikes!!

Last Friday I had a call from the Oncologist office reminding me of an appointment I had on Monday. It's one of those awful automated systems, that drone on and on -you kind of wonder how long it will take to get to the point - and after you listen to it, it gives you two options: confirm or cancel. Having forgotten all about it, AND since I knew I had to finish my paper, I pressed the cancel option, and planned to call later this week to reset. However, I did receive a call on Monday telling me I missed the appointment! Sheesh. When I called, the receptionist apologized, I apologized, everyone was sorry about the mixup and I rescheduled. You know, why have an automated system if it doesn't work??? Just sayin'.

I. HATE. Automated systems. HATE them.
ReplyDeleteI especially hate the ones where you can leave a message like 'cancel my appointment, thankyouhaveaniceday' and then they friggin' call you back to tell you that your appointment was, indeed canceled.
Hell.
