rage towards the High Society Engineers

I don’t get mad often but this afternoon I felt the urge to go crazy.

When I got back home I was expecting to find a little brown letter confirming the time for Monday’s surgery in Croom. Instead all I found was a pizza hut flyer, some random donation bag and the limerick independent paper.

Ring Ring went the phone to find out what is happening. Ring Ring, Ring, Ring.. it rang out three times before someone answered. I said my name clearly but people have real issues with my surname ( I can empathise with Samir from Office Space.. “No one in this country can ever pronounce my name right. It’s not that hard: Samir Na-gheen-an-a-jar. Nagheenanajar”.). So after we got past the surname bit, she politely told me I wasn’t on the list for Monday and I was rescheduled for the following Monday because my surgeon had to leave early this Monday.

Thanks for letting me know HSE – you are brilliant!!

I have been building up (and looking forward) to getting the screw out and getting back to more normal things. OK so I wouldn’t be able to walk immediately after the screw comes out but it timestamps the point where I can start putting weight on the foot. Now that timestamp is delayed by another week. What’s another week? not a lot in the grand scale of things.. but I don’t see it like that right now. Once I calm down it will be alright – I’d normally play a game of soccer to relieve stress and anger but it’s my beloved soccer that got me into this situation in the first place.
