I had a dentist appointment at 5:45 last Wednesday, and the receptionist called to remind me of my 6:00 appointment. I assumed (because it was a new dentist) that they wanted me there 15 minutes early to fill out paperwork. Now, I had already filled out paperwork and sent it in, so naturally I assumed the my cleaning was to take place at 6:00.

I rushed out of my office with ten minutes to spare and made the trip in 9 minutes flat. I jumped out of my car and ran up to the building to discover in horror that I was at the wrong building! I was at the opposite end of town. Not the worst thing in the world, as we live in a tiny, podunk, cow town. But running late sucks. I screached up to the correct building at 6:06 and ran inside, looking like a stark raving lunatic I'm sure, to find out that my appointment actually was for 5:45 and that I was SOL. Whoopie! Now I have to take time off from work to go, because the next after work opening is in October of 2065 or something. Grrrrrrrr!

So, I hope you feel better cause now I'm all aggravated!
