Turning off the interaction on this one.

Thanks for y'all's points. Most of them were appreciated.

My point remains a little decency in communicating delays goes a long long way.

I've had my share of them in my life, totally get it.

If there's a delay in a routine setting, communicate with the patient. A simple apology for delay goes a long way.

You're welcome to disagree with me and I appreciate your vantage point though.

I do expect my non-emergency specialist doctor's office to be on time with appointments for routine procedures scheduled weeks in advance especially when they've texted many times to remind me to be early.

Doubly so when I'm not even being seen by the doctor.

Hell, nurses and doctors of all walks are amazing. Y'all make amazing differences in people's lives.

But, yes you are being rude going off on me without more info.

I get where you're coming from. I would literally never complain about anything in the ER.

ER nurses and Docs are amazing! Some of my best friends are ER nurses. My cousin is a former president of AACN, had dinner with her yesterday.

I would prefer communication. "Hey, sorry we're running behind there was an emergency that got pushed in front of you."

I get it. Shit happens. Communicate with me so I can figure out how to best use my time.

I had appointments waiting on my that was late for in turn. I let them know I was late.

Given how many people vote, in-person voter fraud may be the least common crime in America. Compare it with the most common: wage theft. We've done everything we can to prevent a single vote from being stolen. It's almost impossible! But we do absolutely nothing to prevent workers from being looted.

Hassett to baseline Trump voters, "Fuck you, we need to bail out our really rich friends first."

Lovely view from the office of Reckling Park and I can see the Baker Institute too. Many years of my life spent in those buildings.

Reckling remains the prettiest place to watch baseball in Houston.

Not that I was going to buy one anyway, but oh hell no.

Legal fees have been insane. Please sign up and help us out!

Valuable view point. Hope not with this particular office, but you never know.

I am a chef and night owl. It is a monumental task for me to make a 7am appointment, yet somehow I still prefer 7am flights.

It's a "vintage" busted ride kind of morning this morning, with bonus #JosephEdisonBeans content.

Okay, whatever, my ultrasound tech was kind, gentle, and very efficient. I'll attempt to be less grumpy.

Nap time and then 2nd and 3rd appointments for the day, then to work to cook a special birthday dinner.

Would have sworn on WI.

Feels like having both Ed Gein and Jeffrey Dahmer should skew the results.

Think doing some heavy lifting here, friend.

No they’re not, they’re just aware that the market no longer needs to reflect reality and don’t want to be caught short

COVID taught them that they can buy on the power of positive thinking and offload before the reality becomes someone else’s problem

Yes!

I do not understand how the doctor's office is already +30 minutes behind at 9:30 on Monday morning.

How?

I have a desperately long day today and even though I'm just getting up, I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to cram a nap into the middle of it.

NGL, looks better than the styling of any of the EQ stuff they've done recently. Best looking car since the CLS wagon that they didn't bring here.

I would really like my 3-year-old to have a habitable planet when he grows up. Stop using AI. Go to the library. Read more books. The future of all life on this planet is more important than literally anything, especially anything you could use AI for. Just stop.

It’s absolutely incredible that one of the largest Japanese-run Go servers, which has been running since 1992, is still accessed entirely via Telnet. And while most players use GUI clients that use Telnet under the hood, you can still connect manually and get ASCII graphics streamed to you
