Latest Bi-otch
When you make an appointment with someone and you're left sitting in waiting area long passed your appointment. I had an appointment today for 10:00, at 10:30 I'm still waiting. You go to the doctor for a 9:00 appointment at 10:00 you're still waiting to get in the back and once you get in the back you wait some more. What is the purpose of appointments, the people act as if their time is more important than yours and you are paying them. What if I made appointments with people to come to my house and I had them to wait in the living room for a hour or two while I cleaned before dealing with them.

Last biotch's...

- Bartenders who can't make a "proper" martini.
- Bartenders who use "margarita mix" instead of fresh juices.
- Leaving my home to go out drinkin'

Ok, let me defend the doctors here. The problem with the whole appointment thing is this. Most doctors try and schedule their patient's in certain time increments. A lot do this based on the particular issue you are coming in for or base it on whether you are an established patient, etc. So imagine this, Patient Ava tells the receptionist when she schedules her appointment that she is just coming in for a ear ache. However when she gets in the room with the doctor (who thinks this will be short and his recept. scheduled 15 minutes or so) Patient Ava tells doctor I have an ear ache, indigestion, diarrhea, my toe hurts, and a whole list comes spewing out. By the time he finishes with her, he is running 15-20 minutes behind. This is how a doctor ends up leaving you waiting. It's not something he did or his staff, it's typically some patient in front of you. There is no way to accurately predict that a doctor can and will get to you in a timely fashion. I do know a whole lot of doctors and know that most try to get to you as quickly as possible. They don't like to leave people waiting. There are exceptions to this but not many. If you are seeing a surgeon or the such, there schedules are the most unpredictable. You must be patient with them and know that you will likely wait particularly if you are seeing them on the same day that they've done surgery.

I hope this helps you be a little patient with the docs. They really do try hard to do a good job for you.

That is good but I was using them as an example. I did not see a doctor this morning. But i have run into this with a number of fields { ex: doctors, lawyers, hair appointments] I went to a lawyer one day with a 10:00 appointment, at 10:15 the secretary said let me see if he is ready for you. Then i wait another 30 minutes. I just saying if you can't keep the appointment don't make them. I'd lot rather someone tell sit down I'll try to work you in than to keep me sitting. Like I've said I've seen this in a number of different professions.

Our yard man! He is psycho! Have y'all seen Caddy Shack? He IS Bill Murray!
He had been mowing a little while and then I notice that the mower has stopped. I don't hear anything for a long while. He is standing in the middle of our backyard with shovel in hand staring at the ground. He marches around in circles staring and stomping over and over. (It really is quite humorous) but still I need him to get the yard completed so I can go on about my business etc. Anyway he says he is hunting for moles and gophers! He thoroughly is obsessed! He also has a knack for showing up at the worst possible times.
It used to be during mine and Mr. Pokie's wine time on the back porch. Lately it's been when I'm in my tub. I have to remember to close the blinds! One day I looked up and here he came around the backyard and I'm in the tub!
Guess that's enough bi-otching for now!

Oh man, that's bad but it is also halarios. I can just picture a Bill Murray in the yard.

That is perfect LateNight! I came home another time and Bill oh I mean Yard Man was lying face down in my front yard not unlike this photo! Neighbors were calling asking me if I knew their was a man lying face down in my front yard! On another occasion he had his wife babysit in a lawn chair just staring at the ground for an hour or so hoping to catch a glimpse of that rascal!The stories go on and on!

He's baaaack!! Yard Man mowed yesterday and I just looked out in my backyard and he has just reappeared with shovel in hand trying to murder a mole he "just happened" to see this morning in my yard! This is getting creepier now I don't even know what time or day he's coming it seems to be quite often though. He said he really thinks it's fun!
I seem to be attracting stalkers lately!
