to understand that the world is filled with people who have ulterior motives. I don't even care what their motives are, but when I am somehow involved in their grand schemes, it makes me uber unhappy.
Today I got four phone calls after an initial phone call ten minutes before. Mind you this was not an urgent phone call but because I had waited an astronomical TEN MINUTES without responding, four phone calls and two voice messages resulted.
ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MINDS???????? What if I had been with a patient? Does anyone think that sometimes you just MIGHT be busy and it might take you longer than ten minutes to respond to a message?
O. M. GOSH.
So I tried repeatedly to say something to my manager about this and I got:
Relax and have a margarita.
O. M. GOSH.
So here is what I learned today.
You must answer phone calls rapidly or you will be pelted with unnecessary phone calls that interfere with you trying to answer the call, make a call to reply, or listen to a voice message.
You cannot complain about the excessive phone calls because you are seen as being just too darn uptight and you need a drink.
Nice.
