ack.
I got up and rode to my shrink appointment this morning at 9:00. When I get there, there are signs all over the place saying that they have a new computer system, and please arrive for your appointment 15 minutes early. Of course, those signs hadn’t been up the last time I was in the building, and nobody told me, so it took me forever to check in. The entire office was in chaos; it was kind of cool. The new computer system was making every single administrator on the 3rd floor of that hospital so confused they were on the verge of exploding!
So, I go into the waiting room… and wait… and wait… and wait… I finally ask one of the harried receptionists what’s up with my shrink, and she says, “oh, he’s on the 4th floor. I’ll ring and tell him you’re coming up.” thus I go tot he 4th floor–the admins up there are similarly freaking out about the new system. In short, I never got to see the shrink. It would have been nice if someone had told me he was on another floor! I didn’t even know the building had another floor! Oh well. At least I got a nice bike ride out of it, albeit an early morning rush-hour-filled one.
