Being on time for work is not being on time if you eat your breakfast at the office.
I was raised the you show up to your job 10 minutes early, guess Gramps advise isn’t relevant anymore.
When I’m waiting at a doctors office, I don’t want to hear people at the front desk gossiping and talking about their personal business. What happened to professionalism?
How many people have to die before real gun control laws change. Example in Tulsa, an angered patient bought a AK Riffle that morning and by afternoon had killed everyone in the doctors office. How can guns be so easy to obtain?
Most people are good.
The American Constitution says we have Freedom of Speech, I plan to contiue to use mine.
If you set boundaries with children at a young age and continue until they are adults, it can prevent many struggles along the line. The same goes for parents and in-laws, clear boundries have to be set or you will have them show up unannounced, pressure you to do things their way and many more that can disrupt a marriage.
When in a relationship or marriage both have to have their own life, friends and hobbies. It needs to be tuned down so that both feel comfortable. Being in a relationship or married doesn’t mean you’re attached at the hip 24/7.

I especially agree with the gun control and that most people are good. I don’t think I’ve eaten breakfast at work but have eaten lunch at my desk while working. So thankful that’s no longer an issue.

We know when Gun Control will happen, not anytime soon. I would trying to eat at the store in the building where I bought my lunch but when it wasn’t possible, I would close my door until after I ate and had a few minutes to relax. There were plenty of people that thought I was not working hard enough but they were wrong, I was working to balance my stress levels and eating more healthy without rushing. I did catch flack but that has rarely bothered me. I wasn’t doing anything wrong. I’m as glad as you are to have that in the past.

I used to work late Thursday nights and would pray “God to deliver me from this job.” (The last ten years I often overwhelmed by the paperwork) So thankful my prayers were finally answered!

I’m nodding to all of these. But oh yes, the doctor’s one.
When I moved again into my own place, from living back at mum’s, a doctors surgery I was with for a very short time because of my observations left me feeling like it was a second class service. (The only persin that was great there, was one nurse who I seen. Who I heard left a little later. (I’m sure she would have found better wherever she went.)) But yes, the first of many observations at this particular doctors surgery – 2 receptionists younger than me behind the counter and all the time I was sat there while waiting to be called, I watched. They did not behave like receptionists. I didn’t see them do anything that receptionists are supposed to do a majority of the time I was there. Busy chatting in the back. ButbI could see them. Phone ringing. They didn’t always answer the phone and when they did, it was ringing for quite a while before they stopped nattering and answering it.

Another big disappointment and anger point is that doctor’s treat their patients the same, no face contact with office staff, no way to leave a message and they only way to make an appt. is to leave a message with an unknown person. One of my doctor’s told e he was going to get the injections for my thumbs and came back 3o minutes later saying he had a doctor’s appt. and the doctor came to him. WTF!!!!!! Block you calendar and take care of your business on your time. Patients are getting less and less access and service. :(

Yes. I could say more about that doctors I used to be at years ago, in the very short time I was with them. But I won’t. But if I did, it would be regards the doctors. Both my experience and a friend’s experience. She had been there longer than me. But she left not long after me, after what cropped up at her last doctors appointment. Which luckily, her son was there to witness.
Where I live now. I can’t complain about my doctors. My only complaint was during when restrictions had lifted during covid. But I still found them unaccessible as a deaf patient. I don’t go often to the doctors. But after that, I try to avoid if I can. Even though it is accessible to me again and has been for some time.

Unfortunately I have many chronic health conditions and see my doctor’s regularly. Today at the Gastro dr. everything was cool, check you in, take you to your room, ask the questions and the NP came right in. That’s what I expect but often that is too much to ask.
