grrrr how much i hate ineptitude

grrrr as i sit here waiting for my father who went in for a half hour eye laser surgery(he was told it could take a few hours to process him!) but he went in at 4:30 and i wont be collecting him until after 10.15...grrrrrrr also if when i had rung at qtr to7 they had said he would be here til 10.15 then i would have gone home, instead being told 9:15 so i just hung around.... and around...and around
and whats more the girl was just plain stupid-not something i tolerate readily.
the place im at rhymes with feadownick..anyway here is the conversation..and i deliberately didnt help her out
hi, my father went in at 4:30 and i was wondering what time he will be ready to be pickd up
search, search search,,, oh we're running behind time it will be 2 hours before he goes in an then another half hour,
oh..(and i didnt know the time, so what time will that be please, she goes around trying to find hte time(cos she doesnt put me on hold and i can hear her asking......um i was thinking -look at your computer, MORON, oh its 6.45 and i just remained silent cos i wanted to see just how dumb she really was.... so that will be ummmm ummmmm 2hours from now is um(and i could hear her counting on her fingers almost!) errr 8.45 so then another half hour is ummm long pause.... ah(and yes i refused to help her out)long pause ummmmm errr 9.15.... ok where is it.she gives me an address. so if im coming up hoddle st from the south, do i turn left or right...
stupid girl:uhhhh theres a big building....
jo:so if im coming from the south, swan stwhich way do i turn, is it before bridge road after bridge road...anyway this circular conversation continued with the moronic receptionist until i eventually said, excuse me but is there someone else i could talk to, and she put me over and wouldnt you know it, that lady could actually tell me which direction it was...still grumbly about the stupid girl
so ok i will go and hang out at IKEA i guess then,,,stay til close, still havent heard from them so i call them again(they know me by now) and they say its going to be at least another hour, to which i respond another hour, i ve already been hanging around for four and a half hours..... oh well you can come here and relax.... grrrrrrrr NOT HAPPY jan... surely you can stagger appointments or have some come in at 6.30-its not that FRICKIN hard(probably the moron receptionist did it...lol)
deep breaath jojo
anyway my aunt called to see how dad pick up went to which i replied, i still havent picked him up yet,and recounted that i would have gone home if they hadnt told me qtr past 9 the last time i had called(and yes they could hear) i think i also mentioned the staggering of appointments and it isnt that hard and there may have been a ridiculous comment!!!!!oh yes, thats right i said i knew of other places who did the same thing but they actually gave appointment times that they stuck to
-and yes i did feel moderately better after my little rant

also it now means i wont get home til 11.30 at the least and i have to leave for work by 7am!

anyway time trial tomorrow-if my back isnt too bad from sitting in this stooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooopppppppppppid chair

oh yeah happiest of happy campers.NOT NOT NOT(the funny thing is i was in an absolute ripper of a mood for the whole day bc i had been for a run yesterday.. anyway id better go-my battery is going flat... maybe i could klonk someone on the head with my computer, Now, i KNOW that would make me feel better....

Hopefully it doesn't cost you a few hundred dollars too (in IKEA) ;)

My local RSPCA (bless them) are a bit like that too, I swear its a sheltered workshop for the mentally challenged, I take a very deep breath every time I walk though the doors, the ladies behind the desk are infuriating and do everything in slow motion.
