I don’t need
an anger management course I simply need people to be punctual!
I’m a
punctual person I always have been, ok so my life is run to a clock but I could
read a clock before I could read a book, my wife would say that I’m obsessed
(she has her opinion I have mine), if I say I will be there on the hour you can
pretty much guarantee I will be at least ten minutes early, well that’s if I’m
by myself and other people aren’t in the mix, add other people and it soon goes
awry .
The other
morning I finally made contact with the people who are trying to organise some
assistance in preparing me for the operation ahead (no not a lobotomy) we kept
on missing each other and when I rang back there was nobody available to take
the call, I was simply going to leave it, but I missed one last call by seconds
and I rang back and they got the shock of their lives as they weren’t expecting
that, the chap was shocked that someone would ring back I answered some
questions and he was pleasantly surprised that I was being helpful. “we usually
get just grumpy people” his words not mine, but he did say it’s a brand new service
and they are not fully staffed hence my frustration in attempting to contact
them, I was going to buy a pigeon and see if that made a difference, whilst I comprehensively
answered all of his questions he asked me did I still want an appointment as I seemed
to be pretty clued up about the road ahead, erm yes I would like a professional
opinion by a trained person not someone on the phone, if its all good, well
fine I won’t bother them again, he gave me a couple of dates and some times I took
the next day and the first appointment, Gemma will ring you tomorrow, what
could possibly go wrong.
I decided
to take the call at home and then travel into work as some of the buildings I work
in there is terrible reception, hence the missed calls, I was up at silly o’clock,
as always and then sat next to the phone like an expectant father, well it
could wrong and it did so 45 minutes after the allotted time I took myself off
to work in a rather grumpy mood, me with
my reputation, well actually I am all sweetness and light these days, but the
old me surface, not for long but it did cheese me off just a tad. On the way to
work this morning I was second guessing myself had I got the day wrong, but
come 08.30 still no call I decided to move on with my life, as allegedly life
is far too short! Just after 09.00 this morning the young man who originally
called me and was very contrite, he had double booked me into the system and
the system couldn’t cope, he was nice I was nice, we all moved on with our
lives!
The old me
would have festered for days, plotting revenge, yes I was unhappy at the time
but the world kept turning, who would have thought it, I can see some of my
oldest friends going into shock at my response there, but its not worth losing
any sleep over it crap happens, so one last hurrah for February and then I’m
away for my holibobs so expect me to run silent and to run deep for a couple of
weeks, but keep an eye on the skies, you can bet there will be some blogs when
we get back, stay safe, stay alive, I will be back before you know it, but
until that (and yes the name game is in play) .....Toodles!
