I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Question. If my neurologist (for the moment) has managed to fuck things up so comprehensively that my botox is 5 weeks late, they've sent a prescription with the wrong number of pills to the wrong pharmacy once, then to the right pharmacy but a new wrong number of pills, and twice called me to have discussions about scheduling that we've already had...is setting the building on fire excessive?

Obviously I will not do anything of the kind, but I've spent a lot of effort over the last five weeks trying not to stress about this, and now that I'm about to go get my botox, the stress is bubbling up.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I can think of no spitefuller curse than to hope that amy's realtor needs a neurologist and Dana's neurologist needs a realtor and somehow they find each other.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Hm, the whole building might be excessive. If you can confine the fire to that office, otoh...

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

is setting the building on fire excessive?

Certainly Expressive!

You make me feel better about the scheduling and messaging snafus I was dealing with last week, Dana!

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

I can think of no spitefuller curse than to hope that amy's realtor needs a neurologist and Dana's neurologist needs a realtor and somehow they find each other.

I missed you lot, I really did.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Boo to Dana's neurologist and amyparker's realtor.

Wow- that is some not professional work on the realtor AND the neurologist.

Scrappy is back from the vet and stoned.
I was momentarily confused! Also, have we seen Scrappy lately.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Second Sheryl's suggestion.

And also JZ's.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Got my botox done, and after that, the medical assistant managed to show me someone else's medical record. So yeah, I will not be keeping that six-week followup.

Wow Dana! That is bad. I have to take so much HIPPA training as just medical adjacent, I just can’t imagine.

My Drs office pet peeve is very particular- perhaps JZ gets this to, but perhaps not. I work at a teaching hospital. I always get the trainees. I always have to reexplain what the doctor told them to do. I am not sure if they are comfortable asking because I work at the School of Nursing, but I am actually not a nurse! I don’t know if they just see me as comforting because I work teaching nurses, but as soon as the Dr leaves, they ASK ME what they should do. Do they ask other patients, because that would be weird? It was especially bad when I had my head to toe peeling skin rash because I actually never got s diagnosis. I ended up following the advice of a colleague nurse who told me to try Aquaphor, which works. In the meantime I feel like 10,000 dermatology students saw me naked.
