Well, the five and a half hours helping a customer with a non-working $1000 phone were for naught. She dropped my company and went elsewhere, which considering how they led her (and me) on for a good two and a half days, I can't really blame her. To her credit, she contacted me at my other store and thanked me for my efforts, told me what ended up happening (Her new phone carrier accomplished in 15 minutes what I being stonewalled five hours for!) and offered herself as a character reference if I sought another job. Strength of weak ties. I'll take it!
I've got my appointment finally to look at my pinched nerve. Took three months and two cancellations (on the doc's part) to make this one initial appointment happen. Frustrating to say the least, but it's at long last happening!
Oh yeah, meds. I made a miscalculation on Friday and decided to try and pick them up after my shift at work at the other store. Apparently the Wally World pharmacies in my neck of the woods are starting to cut opening hours. I chose the one I did because it, at the time, didn't and it helps when I'm off 6-7pm to have a pharmacy open a bit later than 7pm. Well, my neuro appointment will give me a good excuse to go and get my meds.
On the plus side, my Christmas present to myself should be coming in today! The GCHQ Puzzle Book (GCHQ being the British version of the NSA) is a collection of puzzles and challenges that apparently relax the hackers and codebreakers there. At least that's what it says on the tin! I'm excited to see if I'm completely out of my depth! Ha ha!
No appointment with the PsychNP today. Something about a half day. Anyway, still a busy day!
