The Time Crunch

Thread Six: Resignation

Just out of the blue, plans have changed yet again. I guess I have to be thankful that today I don't have to be out for too long. The question I am wondering about
again is why I am not at work, yet again?

Do doctors know when you are about to go to work?

Who knows?

It's a strange pattern, but all the doctor's visits are timed to my
work schedule. It is probably unplanned, but I will try to investigate
this or analyze this when I have the chance.

I may just have a chance to prep the house for the social visit, after all.

I will write more on this day and all that transpires. I want to see if
things will cooperate in other ways. So I can actually figure out where
I am losing time.

Well, I was lucky and managed to cut the two days I was going to be out into one.
Originally, it would have been that I had to go to my usual place for a blood test. That would have been like 3pm. So I would have had to fast for that long. Then I would have gone to the wrong place, where they are charging me for something that I shouldn't have been paying for at all.

It turns out that I would have gone there, get charged for the service, and then been told that I wasn't supposed to go there anymore. That's what happened last year and the year before. This year, I guess the communication lines are more open.
They send you there saying there is some sort of formal arrangement. Then you find out they can't take you there later.

I guess they must have finally figured out that I wasn't all the other people out there with my name.

Turns out, there must be a lot of them. Male and female...maybe even children...maybe even non-citizens.

What do these agencies do? Go by phone numbers or something? How do they know a person hasn't changed their number or even if someone is using your phone number?
I also hate it when they don't verify your last name and first name. They switch everything around. Do they verify age, gender, and address even?

I think they don't verify if you are a walk-in. They assume you came in an ambulance.

Geez!

I hope I don't have to go through more of this running around this year.
It is a chore. I also am thankful that I didn't have to lose another day to go take care of all these problems.

Now I can figure out what I need to do to straighten out the house for any visits later or over the weekend.

The stress of all this is not sane or even healthy.

The point is to get better, not run around and get more sick in the meantime.

I knew there was some reason I never used to get sick before.

I think I didn't have so many (democrats?) around me. There were more solid people with decent plans and didn't invest in making time and life so stressful for everyone. Everyone was busy and contributed to the task at hand, and things did flow better.

Where do they get this mental makeup? The results are:

Harried state, stress, displacement...

I didn't grow up this way. I think some library training, filing in alphabetical order, maintaining shelf list, online catalog maintainance, and being used to print literacy does go a long way. Maybe even reading a book?

Or just teach people to check ID more often?!!!!!!

I hope democrats employ (older) librarians to train their staff sometime.

It would stop all these errors and let people go back to work on time.


The Internet

Is the internet really connecting people?

Is communication better?

Have people who once were more face to face or used the telephone more
abe to make the switch and type and read and hope that emails are read
on a timely basis?

I find that telephone calls are not always going through. Even emails.

Then what?

This communication glitch must be explained somehow.

If this is a matter of sabotage, where is it, in the lower ranks?
Unless there is a breakdown of communication?

Instead of following the money, perhaps we should follow the communication?

Are they playing the game, "telephone?"
Are they not motivated enough?

It makes you feel at wit's end.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today, I checked facebook and found out I had more friends than before.

It is slowly building up. I want to network more, so this may be a better
method of communicating more than most.

I hope so.
