Mondays....
Jun. 5th, 2019 06:32 pmOkay so, Monday I went all the way out to the apartments I was looking at and mostly it was just a huge waste of time. I didn't get a great impression of the management and they didn't even offer to show me anything there. They even complained about a lady who was calling about her oven. I don't know I just don't feel like I'd be comfortable there pool or no.
I called the apartments on my work campus. They don't have any openings but tenets have until the 10th to decide if they're staying another month so I'm hopeful one will open up soon. Also the lady I talked to was very helpful and even offered to call me when one does open.
After work that same day I finally went to the clinic and it turned out my wrist is sprained. I've been working through the pain for a couple weeks but now I have to wear a splint even while sleeping and I'm not allowed to lift more than 5 lbs.
It was not a great experience at the clinic either. I check their hours, they're open until 8. I leave work around 5:30, I get there about 6:00. They tell me it'll be about an hour long wait. I say okay and start filling out the paperwork. A nurse is pretty quick to call me to get the basic information. She orders an x-ray and I pull the ticket. Sometime later I'm taken back into an exam room to get weighed and blood pressure and all that. I'm told the doctor will be there soon. I wait.
I read all the news feed on my phone.
I hear people saying their goodbyes in the hall.
I get concerned that they're going to forget about me.
Eventually a doctor does appear. She looks over my wrist and does a few tests. She says it's a sprain then tries to look at the x-ray. Only there is no x-ray. No one called me. She says that means they had already left and I'd have to come back tomorrow. Unless I refused it. I said to say the words. But it saved me a pointless trip and radiation.
Afterwords, she gave me the splint and a report in triplicate one for the office, one for my boss, and one for me to keep. When I get back out to the front there is no one there. The lights are out, the front is locked. I don't know what to do.
I end up just leaving the papers on the reception counter and wander around a bit until I find a door that will let me outside.
Yesterday was fine. Everyone made sure I knew I could ask them for help.
Today was a good day at work. Richard and Miranda took me out for lunch as a thank you for all I do around there. And we got all the tables and chairs set out for Friday's events so tomorrow we can focus on place settings.
