{{{Sean}}} I started a commiserating/"Please stay home; you can't take care of anyone else if you're a wreck yourself" post last night and got interrupted by Matilda wanting cuddles. By the time I checked back in again this morning, everyone else had already been incredibly kind and wise.

But I was thinking of you, all night.

Windsparrow, if you get things in motion WRT your special list and GG's lovely student's awful and undeserving mother, just say the word and I'm right there with you.

Polter-Cow! I know Matilda was busy giving you and your LJ friend her patented thousand-yard stare when we ran into each other Friday evening, but please know that once you were a block and a half away she leaned back over my shoulder and started waving and saying wistfully, "Bye-bye! Bye-bye Seel!"

that's insane, Teppy. Can you change docs?

Everyone I know who goes to this doctor has problems with his office staff. And, you know, I understand that they probably get a LOT of calls from demanding patients. I get that. Customer service (and that's what this is) is not an easy job.

I've never dealt with ANY doctor's office where I liked the front desk staff. Something about that job just makes people unhelpful and cranky.

I love the staff at my dentist, but my GP's office is surly.

Steph, that is total bullshit.

Heeeeeeeeeeee. Aw. Thanks for letting me know.

Teppy, what the fuck.

Dude! I had typed almost the exact thing! I feel kind of bad saying that since my mom does this type of work and I know she's great at it. Too bad they can't clone her and put her in every doctor's office.

Teppy, that sucks. The staff at my doctor's office is equally annoying. I have found the only way I can get what I need is to call and leave a message to please have my doctor call me at his convenience without giving them any information about what I need.

Man, Tep. I'm so sorry that your Dr.'s office sucks. The Allina clinic in MSP had awesome front desk staff, and I miss them (and my doc!) very much.

I feel obliged to note that the staff at Emmett's pediatrician are helpful, competent and accomodating.

Plus they give out whirligigs.
