Collected Thoughts

Eye doctor thing was a bust. I got an appt for 3:50. Then I didn't eat all day.

Well, I had a candy bar and chips out of the vending machine but that's not actual food.

I missed the entrance to the parking lot twice, because of the time of day and new intersection change I had to go way the hell out of my way to make a u turn to go back and make a u turn so I could get on the correct side of the road. When I said something about how they might want to mark it because it was difficult to see they were rude to me. And hung up on the last time I was there, which was in 1991. I had no idea. I waited and waited and waited and finally went to see what the time was and it was 4:30. My appt was at 3:50. I waited some more and being hungry and pissy and genarlly not happy (and not liking the rude staff) I left.

Which I so shouldn't have done but I left almost an hour after I got there. Evidentally there was some kind of emergency but the reception staff informed me of that with an attitude.

Plus I discovered in the grocery store that I don't actually have anything with my perscription for my meds written on it so I'm going to ahve to call the doctor about that.

And then I drank 5 diet cokes. I didn't realise how many I'd drank until I looked at the 12 pack.

Tomorrow I'mtaking a mental health day and hoping that I can get to see another eye doctor. I feel stupid now for leaving but I have a very very low tolerance for being treated rudely by doctor's staff.

First I stayed home from work. I feel horrible about it but my god I needed a freaking day to pull myself together. I feel better even though I got zero sleep last night and I've gotten a few things done.

I called my shrink but they haven't called me back so in an hour or so I'll call again re: my meds.

And I called a different eye doctor, explained the situation and they said I should be seen by my HMO's optometrist first becauset the HMO perfers that, which was news to me. So I called them to set up an appointment, I didn't go into detail why since the eye clinic I saw yesterday didn't think that there was a need. But the appt they gave me was for Sept 9 and then I explained what was going on. I got put on hold and talked to someone else who asked me detailed questions and when I hesitated to use "peripheral vision" (because I got smacked down for using that yesterday) the person I spoke to said "you mean your peripheral vision". And said I could see them tomorrow at 8. So I'll be there.

The big difference is that they took me seriously and wanted to know information. And my supervisor knows what's going on.

Several times in this lj (and on b.org) I've mentioned my friend E.

And now she has an lj _ej_. She's fan of Stargate, West Wing, CSI, many ohter things. She's the one I was hunting down Jack/Sam stories for.
