Do you know how easy it is to get used to not getting up early to go to work, but then having some desk jockey make you a early morning medical appointment ?

In fact I do.

I wouldn?t sweat it. Even if you?re there on time you?ll likely sit there waiting until mid morning anyways. I?d just roll in at whatever time you want.

Yeah, I thought of that, but the way my luck is running, if I were to be late, it would be the only time that they had a cancelation or two and because I wasn’t there on time they moved on to the next person and I would have to wait even longer.

Maybe I'm just a quitter, but I don't understand how in the face of that much failure, people willingly keep coming back for more. Oh well, not my burden to bear I suppose.

After years of semi-retirement, I'm still a morning person.
I prefer the earliest appointments, so I can make way for the mid-afternoon slump with a short TV nap.

Or charge for a missed appointment.

I like the story of the guy that wants to cancel his appointment same day and they say they will charge for a missed appointment with less than 24 hours notice. He asks if he can just reschedule his appointment, for which they tell him that is OK. He changes his appointment to a week out. He then asks if he can cancel his appt that's now one week out and they do so without question. Problem solved!

Every Dr visit the referrals dept calls to tell me i have an 8:15 or 30 apt. Every time they call i have to explain to a referrals dept in 1 state how it's impossible to be there (in a different state) at that time as i am 2 hrs away from their specialist. OH exactly where are you located? The same place i was 2 weeks ago when we have this same conversation.
They pulled the same shit when in CO. Ok we're sending you to X for an MRI, in Pueblo. Umm once again, Pueblo is 3 hours (1 way) for me. Oh where are you, again? [facepalm]

I then call the dr office directly, speaking to a local person, who understands the logistics.

I spent an exceptional amount of time modifying an '02 F series 7.3 trans dipstick tube to fit into a '79 with the 7.3 in it. I FINALLY got the fukker modified enough to fit/clear and function properly. (picture dog chasing tail here). I probably bent the tube 12 times,(fill it with sand and empty it out) and messed with the head mount bracket 25 times at least. The "crawl into the cab, then go out to the firewall"....run over to the vice, bend it different, run back to the cab/firewall thing....blew ass....tiring and frustrating.

Modified the tunnel opening with 1/4-20 nutserts instead of the factory speed nut/screw plan, and had to open all the cover holes to line up right for the serts.

Started fitting the carpet and getting the trim holes opened back up again, cut the shifter hole and mount the boot when the carpet gets relaxed.

Dropped off the bench seat at the upholstery shop to get new pad and cover.

And I found out that my bumper is finally getting shipped and I should have it next week. So, I better get those lights a comin' and get that switch plate shit figured out.
