Days you think are going well, but then turn the other way around..

Today I was sitting on the computer thinking what should I do? Go on Facebook and read the new "gossip" or check my few random, mostly junk emails. Neither of those appealed to me. But then I remembered I have a blog. I should probably make it my home page seeing as how I keep forgetting...I know I am a bad blogger. But don't get too mad yet, I have a good story for you! I was thinking what should I blog about, but then I remembered my story that just happened a few days ago. So here it goes,
I made an appointment a few months ago (in 2009) to get my wisdom teeth pulled. But alas I had to wait until February 17, 2010 to get it done. Since I live 3 and a half hours away from where my appointment is I wanted to leave the day before my appointment. Which worked out perfect because I am supposed to know what time my surgery is the day before. Anyways, I call them at 9 am Feb. 16 like they told me to, and asked what time my appointment is. They told me that they do not have the schedule ready at this moment, so I said no problem just call me in an hour and a half on my cell phone not the house phone since we will be on the road, and not for an hour and a half because I will be out of service. Which they said was okay, so they took my number and said they will call, and apparently wrote it down.
Now I am where I get service, an hour and a half drive down now another two hours to go. I stop to get gas and look at the phone, no missed calls and it's not ringing. So they must not know yet.
Start driving to the next destination. Still no call, so I decided I might as well call them. Half an hour just outside of where I am supposed to get it done I call. I asked if they knew my schedule yet, and then I get this great news:


"We tried to call you, but you're appointment is now cancelled. You will have to wait until April.30."

"...um what?" They must be joking...right?! Also if they tried to call me why doesn't my phone say so?

"Will April. 30 be okay? The Dr. is sick."

"Uh, well... is there no earlier date?"

"No, but we can put you on the cancellation list if you want." Well OBVIOUSLY I would want that! The earlier the better!!

"Yes please."

Now how come I don't have my phone saying I missed a call, and how come it didn't ring??
We ended up just driving the extra 30 minutes to get to the city frustrated and yet can't believe that this happened so laughing from disbelief. We visited my sister and brother-in-law and then headed home the next day. Not as mad but still a little frustrated. Especially since my driver took a week off of work for this.
When we finally get home, we listen to the messages on the phone. Some little random ones, and then "...we just wanted to let you know your surgery is now cancelled until April.30th..."
HA HA HA!! You must be joking! I was so mad, we told them call my cell phone, not the house phone for I won't be there, and don't call for an hour and a half since there will be no service. Yet they still call the house! And of course they won't pay for the ride down. So all the money we spent on gas, is just gone, for nothing!
I just think these people could have been a lot more organized and do what they say, not just say they wrote it down and then don't do it. Or if they did do it, don't do what they wrote down anyway. Hopefully this does not happen again on April.30th!
