I haven't posted anything of substance outside my take on Indecision 2006 (to borrow from the only news source anyone needs) lately, so I'm thinking maybe I should.
Work is work, and I'm not up for commenting on that, so nothing there.
Except, it's my week to do end of the day security nonsense, so I'm stuck here till five or six, which means I'm not sure I'll make very many TKD classes this week.
I need to schedule an appointemnt with an ortho, but when I call them, a machine picks up and sends me into a maze of twisty little passages, which I fucking hate. Pay a goddamn receptionist to answer your fucking phones. I hate the phone as it is, and having a computer answer it just makes it worse. I spend all day running networks. Is it that gods be damned hard to talk to an actual person? Apparently, the answer is yes.
That's okay though, I'm pretty sure the phone system is either Mitel or Avaya (they've not left any of the default voice, or I'd KNOW already), so getting a real person is a simple matter hitting a pair of keys. I'm not sure they'd like me if I did that though. Reprogramming the voicemail menus is normally considered rude. I hate voicemail. It brings out the OCD in me. I don't leave messages on machines unless there's no other option.
Why am I letting this get to me?
Probably because it means I can put off the inevitable a bit longer. I NEED to do this. My hip joint isn't getting better, and I probably shouldn't be popping ibuprofen like candy before class if I want to keep my liver intact, but I have nightmares about being told I have to quit if I'd like to keep walking. Of course, it could go entirely the other way and maybe they can fix me so I can kick without being in pain.
I'm the eternal optimist, however, and I'm always positive that things will go badly.
