Yeah so, I hate people.
Ever since being out of work for what seems like a god damn eternity now, I have slowly started to hate people. Not all people mind you, just really stupid ones.
I mean, I've always been annoyed with dumb people in general, but over the last 5+ years, the annoyance has grown to full blown hatred and I often catch myself before I say something out loud to the offending dumb ass.
I didn't catch myself just now. I let it go with full on snark and attitude and the tone, oh my the tone, of the message I just left for the retards in the medical records at my old doctors office.
I am still pissed off about yesterdays events, the records weren't ready, they weren't where I was told to go, spent 20 minutes driving around looking for a building number that doesn't exist before we finally just had to leave and try to get to my real appointment on time.
Pissed I tell ya.
I call them just a few minutes ago and tell them; "I need my records faxed to two different offices now. I've signed the release already, it's in there somewhere or not, yesterday you couldn't seem to find it or my records. But here's what needs to be happening right now, you need to fax my records, not films, to (727)xxx-xxxx, Dr. M's new office, he needs those, those are his records. Then you need to fax my records to (941)xxx-xxxx, Dr. F's office who will be in charge of pain management. I am not coming up there again just so you can tell me they aren't ready to go, that you lost my release and oh crap, wrong building. I'm not doing it. Because you messed up so badly yesterday, my doctor didn't have my records, lucky for me, he knows his patients really well but his new office staff needs them and it would super! fabulous if you could fax my records to the two offices I just gave you. If you need those numbers again, please call me, I need this done immediately. Thanks so much and have a great day."
I really just need to go back to bed. I'm tired and angry and fed up and just in general, pissed off about a lot of things.

And people like that run all kinds of important offices. It's fucking scary.

Woooohoooooo! Sounds so like a message I would leave after being jacked around. I don't blame you for being pissed...I would be too. That's just total incompetence right there.

If we didn't have stupid people, who would piss us off? ;-) I'm not making fun of your post, really I'm not, but it amazes me how many idiots we deal with on a daily basis. I know I can be an idiot at times but for the most part, I have a lot of common sense and I don't cause anyone problems (other than myself LOL).
I'm sorry you've got the stress of all this crap when you need things done. Life would be so much easier without all the idiots who are in positions they shouldn't be in.
Sending you BIG HUGS!
P.S. Wow, Mr. Mark getting his permit?! Time flies...

It`s not a health care system... but rather a health care-less system...
But I do think your message to them was pretty civil, from the sound of it...

Kat,
I can totally relate to how incompetence can piss you off, since my doc's secretary is the world's biggest idiot, and she's so mean to me too, I can't count how many fights I've had with her :( I've had three surgeries and have had to deal with her snarky attitude everytime, b/c on top of it all she seems to dislike me and acts like I'm spoiled when I want appointments and dates for surgeries(like I'm so lucky to go through all these back problems)
I don't know why stupid people work, and then even complain about their jobs.
