Are The Holidays Here Yet?
So Thursday afternoon I went to see my doctor about my shoulder. I took a 30 minute lunch so I could leave early for my 3:30pm appointment. After spending until 4:45pm in the waiting room I finally got in the see him. And what does he do? He just writes me off. Treats me like I'm some kind of hypochondriac or something. I think I was in there for a whole two minutes and all he did was move my arm around a little. He made me feel like an idiot and that I just wasted his time. Like I didn't have anything better to do that sit in his office for nearly an hour and a half.
The family doctor I grew up with was very warm and friendly, but he retired 4 years back. There is an extreme doctor shortage here in Ontario and so we don't exactly get to pick and choose who our family doctors are. Needless to say this new guy has no personality and is quite cold. I've already heard my mom and sister complaining about his lack of personality and well now I'm experiencing the same thing.
Thursday was also our first real snow storm here which meant the buses were as far behind schedule as my doctor was. I waited for half on hour for my bus to come. So I gave up and took another bus which drops me off a good two blocks from my place. Just as that bus starts pulling out, my bus pulls into the station. *sigh* I didn't get home until 6pm and I was pretty tired from walking though ankle deep snow for 10 minutes. Sudbury has to be the worst city for snow removal. What makes it worse is the fact that we're supposed to be used to it. But for some reason there were still unplowed streets and sidewalks Friday morning. And people wonder why I miss Ottawa.
Well I'd better stop cause it's just getting me all worked up again. Thursday was not a good day. I'm hoping to get the last of my shopping done tomorrow night. And well I wouldn't be surprised if a brand new copy of "Serenity" ends up in my shopping cart as well. Mwa ha ha.
Just 4 more days until vacation.
