I'm up quite early, but I'm actually "up" up considering I fell asleep before 8pm and had minimal interruptions through the night. It's not too bad, as I'm taking care of some logistical stuff related to both work and my personal life that I never can take care of on any given "normal" day.

The doctor looking at my pinched nerve decided to reschedule again. I now see him Dec. 12, which on the plus side, is one of my days off. No coordinating with my boss to make the visit happen. On the minus, this is the third appointment scheduled by this doctor's office.

I'm reminded of that neurologist back in July/August who got so indignant about me not being able to make his appointment after he refused to see me for six months that he officially (certified letter and all) dropped me as a patient. The stringing along has already started with this new guy.

I'm tempted to call the office and ask for another doc if this guy is going to be indisposed so much, but I have a feeling I'll have to wait another six months for the privilege. The pain isn't going away anytime soon.

Work seems to be going all right. I've got a guy to watch out for. He's a good guy, but he is very effective competition. He matched me for sales yesterday which was a definite jolt. Should be fine. Just got to be on my A game.
