WITH A SONG IN MY HEART

My Office Today

I had a temperature this morning so I haven’t done much.
Hoovered around and did some knitting.
I had an appointment to have blood taken at 1.40 and also had a urine sample to hand in. I was at the surgery at 1.35 and told the receptionist I had an appt and also a sample to hand in. She told me to take the sample in with me when I saw the nurse.
I sat and I sat and 2 people went in to see the nurse. I was the only one left. I went to the reception and asked if they’d forgotten about me. The receptionist said 
‘Oh Are you waiting to see the nurse?’  
‘Yes’ I said, ‘I told you when I arrived’.
‘No you didn’t’ she said.
‘Yes, I did.’ I replied, ‘You told me to take the urine in with me.’
She still insisted I hadn’t said when I arrived.

Then the sample man arrived to collect the samples. I asked if my urine sample could go in the box. 
No, it couldn’t because the nurse still had to fill in the form.
When I finally got into the room, I told the nurse the whole story and she said she had marked me down as not attended and apologised profusely. 
Then she looked up which bloods were required and said she couldn’t do them now as it was too late, they should have gone with the sample man!
I’ve never come across such incompetent admin staff. There are always prescriptions going missing or orders haven’t gone through. 
Everyone complains about them.
Rant over!
Now I will have to get the bus to Settle tomorrow for the bloods as Frank will be away.
Never mind, I can have a mooch about there till the bus home. 
Goodnight :-)X
