Waiting and Tea
J had a dr's appt today for 9:30 am. They called to confirm this week and asked us to come 30 minutes early to fill out paperwork. So, we got there promptly at 9am (after leaving our house at 8am due to traffic and sheer distance from our house) to fill out aforementioned paperwork. We did not receive the paperwork until after 9:30 (our original appointment time). It took MAYBE 10 minutes to fill out the papers. I turned them back in. Guess what time we finally saw the doctor......11:30. A full 2 hours after our scheduled appointment time and 2.5 hours after we got there. Needless to say, I was pissed. It was after 12 when we finally left. After the 7 minutes we spent with the actual doctor, it took us at least 15 minutes to wait in line to check out.
However, on the way home, we went by Chick-fil-a and got nuggets, fries and a 32 oz. tea (brewed - not instant). I longed for a 32 oz. tea in a styrofoam cup the whole time I was in NYC. There's nothing like a to-go tea.
Glad to be back at home, although Wednesday was kind of bad. In pain and exhaustion I don't think I was that fun to be around.
Love to the masses.

OOOh I feel for you. We had a doctor's appt. last week, which we arrived at 30 minutes early as well... the appt. "time" was supposed to be 2:30. We left at 4:30. You can imagine the in-between times. :P
It frustrates me because it's a PEDIATRICS office. Shouldn't they be a bit speedier? And honestly, there were 2 other families in the waiting room. It didn't seem like they were super packed that day.
Ok, sorry for my mile long comment.
4 hrs of your time for 7 min. with the dr. - for a 3 yr. old. Poor J and Mama. I took a tea to go from The General's yesterday and from Pizza Hut today. Pretty much every where I go to eat I get one to go.
Hey there!
So sorry about that wait!! That really stinks!! UGH!!
Read back a few posts and have to say that I'm hooked on the skanky Rock of Love show! LOL The sleazier the reality tv show, the better!
ok, this waiting story makes me so mad that I want to spit. I think you should send a copy of your blog post to the doctors office...not that it would make any difference. and you probably will need to go back there sometime in the future. But really, this shouldn't be tolerated. grrrr.
