Unfortunatley at times there is only so much you can do. When I lived in Pennsylvania and worked as an EMT and dispatcher at times there was nothing we could do. Example: one day we were expecting a very bad ice storm. So we called in every available EMT and Paramedic. The storm came and so did the calls. At one point, while I was dispatching, we literally ran out of ambulances to send out on calls. My boss was driving to the minor inicidents in his pick-up truck to triage until a crew could get there. There's not a whole lot I could do in that situation. I was triaging the calls based on what people were telling me over the phone. I had to deal with one guy yelling at me wondering why he had been waiting 2 hours for an ambulance. I had to explain to him that he had a broken finger and simply didn't want to drive himself to the hospital, I needed to first send the ambulances to EMERGENCY calls. I know it's not a Dr's office but similar extreme circumstances can happen. Now if it's an office where it happens all the time than more than likely it's thanks to shitty management and it's time to get a new Dr.

Why did you have to make the boogie so far away??? I'm ready to go NOW!!!!

I hope that was supposed to be sarcasm.

Ok...this reply is not to any specific person (twoply, you just happened to be the last person who responded). How many of you complaining about the service at the Dr.'s office have ever worked somewhere that you had to provide customer service? Be it retail, restaurant, or say, a Dr's office. Or have you ever worked in the medical field? Well, I've done both. In the service industry there are a million factors unseen by the customer that affect the service. Most of them aren't even the fault of the specific person you're dealing with. More than likey they're just as frustrated as you that things are not happening at a timely fashion like they should. Also, especially in the medical field, there are stupid laws that require you to ask a person their birthday 50,000 times. And as for copying the insurance card and keeping it on file, same thing. There are LAWS that require you to see the physical card everytime. Bitching, complaining and whinning are not going to help you at all. If anything they will get you shittier service cause you pissed off the person who was trying to help you the best way they could. So please be patient and try to understand that more than likely it is not the persons fault and there isn't anything they can do about it. Granted there is the occasional dimwit receptionist who should have never graduated the 6th grade let alone high school or heaven forbid college, but that is very rare.

Did I hold you down, pry your mouth open and pour it down your throat? No, I did not. You drank it of your own free will.

Well there's a girl DD and a boy DD...it gets confusing, I know.

Ok...so I'm a day late. Sue me. Happy Birthday DD! Can't wait to see you at Fitzgerlad!!!!

I have finally figured out what is going on with Charlie Sheen. He's getting paid by all the anti-drug campaigns for the shit he's been saying lately. I mean really...how is this NOT an anti-drug commercial??? http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/13150557

I'm like you...not a germaphobe by any means. It seems like people don't understand that the only way to build up your immune system is by exposing yourself to some germs. They're actually doing their body more harm by sanitizing EVERYTHING. Now I'm not saying we should all go roll around in our own crap...but some germs are good.

Thank you! A girl who understands exactly what I'm saying.

you will no longer have a want to have sex with another human being? Having a discussion with a fellow dz.commer (a guy) who says that one day sex toys will be so advanced that you won't even want to have sex with someone else. Then you won't have all the excess bullshit to put up with. I say, that yes sex toys are great, and they're bound to get better. But, there is no true replacement for body pressing against body and all the other things you get with another person.

That hardly seems like a large enough sample considering the number of carts in the entire country. Also, which 4 states did they go to? If West Viginia, Alabama, or Mississippi were anywhere in there then the results would be scewed anyway.

There's the giveaway for me. Change in itself can be fine. Resourcing crisis panic measures dressed up as 'change' - not so much. Too often, managers have pressure from higher up to say they can produce the same results with fewer people. To justify that they have to present some kind of plan as to how they're going to do it, regardless of whether or not it makes sense in real terms. But of course you're right that whatever the reason, bitching about it isn't going to make it go any smoother! Well they are working on hiring another person. So we won't be permanently shorthanded. In fact I'm trying to get apollard the job.

I think it might be the exact opposite problem. The people complaining the most of the ones who don't do jack shit now and are being moved to something where they will actually have to do some work. I'm actually happy about the fact that I'm getting a little more work to do. I was getting pretty bored.

I like that saying...maybe I'll print it up really big and hang it in my cube. I will say, it's pretty sad when myself and the one girl who is the same as as me are the only ones not complaining. It has now gotten to the point that people are complaining that they don't want to sit next to certain people (they try to keep everyone who is working on similar stuff sitting together, and with the changes people are having to move desks). I feel like I'm back in elementary school right now.

(Sorry if this turns into a rant.) Just how terrified are you of your routine changing? So things are supposed to be changing a bit at work today. We had a girl move away, so they are changing who has what reponsibilities to make up for us being shorthanded (we were a bit shorthanded before she even left). Today was supposed to be the day those changes got implimented. Well, before people even started their new duties they were already bitching and complaining and saying how other people aren't going to be able to do what they're supposed to be doing now. They haven't even given the changes a try. Now maybe it's because I've only worked here for 7 months, not years like most of these people. But I feel change is good. If you don't swap it up every now and then people become complacent with what they're doing and mistakes are made without anyone noticing them. It just bothers me that everyone is in such a horrible mood over something they haven't even given a chance to see if it will work or not.

Hooray. Thank you! And I'll ask nice.

Woohoo!

Awesome...see ya there.

Tell that to Cyndi, apparently she has a problem with people removing her bra mid-boogie. I do when they don't have my permission. question- do girls need permission to do so? serious question- are you going to help me tighten up my corset? it's a bit tough to do by yourself when it is on! Girls do not need permission. And I will gladly help tie you up so long as you help tie me up.

Is that really a question? Does he know how to be anything BUT a smartass??? You have a point By the way....never let him give you hug...unless you're wearing a sports bra. a) you started it b) I gave the bra's back... and I never TOLD Bolas to put it on. So by giving you a hug like I give every other friend I started something???? I think you're just evil.

Trust me on this one. He'll seem all cute and innocent...but then he gives you a hug and the truth comes out...he's a devious little bastard.
