How Did I Get Here?

Quote of the Day: “Computer games don’t affect kids, I mean if Pac Man affected us as kids, we’d all be running around in darkened rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive music.”

As most of you know, I am retired.

And one of the things I was supposed to do BEFORE I retired was to get with the VA, as I explained in a recent blog post:

I had mentioned that I made an appointment with the VA.

It was today.

CORRECTION: It was SUPPOSED to be today.

At 7:00 AM (I still refuse to use military time), I got a voicemail from the lady I had an appointment with that said that she was sick and could not make the appointment.

You know, if you think the bad reputation and the clichés are unfair, such as dealing with the VA akin to having a quadruple root canal performed up through your ass, then maybe you should stop reinforcing it.

OK, yeah, people get sick. I get that. But today? After waiting so long to get an appointment. And now I have to make another one for the undisclosed future? Do they not know my tendency to procrastinate such things, evidenced by waiting 6 months to do it in the first place?

Well, whatever the cause, my appointment was cancelled which left, let’s see, …. Nothing on the agenda today.

Hmmm, nothing. I can DO nothing. Nothing it is.

Seriously, on my Outlook calendar where I put everything ad nauseum, it is completely blank other than VA appointment/ quadruple root canal performed up through my ass.

Oh well.
