Someone up there hates me..

Really hates me. Like big, steaming, heaping bowls full of hate.

The boy is running low on meds. He takes something for his ADHD. The doctor, neurologist, and I work together on this. If all is good, I just call ahead, telling them I need a 'script and then pick it up later. Every so often, they'll have us drop by for a check up. It's a good system. It works. Save everyone a lot of time.

Why don't they just call it in to the pharmacy? Well, that's not allowed due to the drug involved. I need an actual paper prescription to hand to the pharmacist. It's a pain, but I understand why.

So I call the doctor's office and I listen to the phone ring. For five minutes. This is after the receptionist has patched me to the office I need to talk to. I call again. Same thing. Again. I get someone, she puts me through to someone else and I listen to the phone ring for-- I'm not sure how long, I know it was longer than five minutes because I started dozing off. Call again. No answer at all. Call once more, "Hi, lovely receptionist! It is me. Again. Please, make someone not hate me and answer. I just want a voice.." so I get patched through, again, and listen to the lovely ringing, again, for-- I don't remember, I blacked out a bit after banging my head on the wall in time to the rings. Wait! A voice. I regain consciousness. Shit. It's voicemail. I leave a message and pray it is coherent and someone calls back. I crawl under my desk to weep bitterly.

While in the fetal postition, rocking back and forth, I consider switching doctors. Not because I don't like this one-- no, on the contrary, I love this doctor-- but because I can't handle the other people in his office. All of this not answering of the phones. I'm sure they're busy, but isn't it someone's job to answer phones? Isn't someone collecting a paycheck for this answering phone business? Maybe I should run down there and answer the phone for them, just so I could have someone to talk to. Do you think they'd pay me if I were to do that? Or would security ceremoniously toss me out of the building? Or would they even notice with all of this busy, busy not answering phone nonsense?

I need a nap.
