They Call Me Mellow Yellow
There's a fine line between being a good guy and being a chump. There's a fine line between being able to roll with what happens and being a wuss. There's a fine line between being mellow and being a fucking pussy!!!!
As always there's a back story, so let's start there.....
A couple of months ago, I was writing about my psychotherapist and how she was moving away. Well kids, guess who has returned? You've all figured it out, right?
About ten days ago, I received a call from one of her supervisors, telling me that she returned and asking if I'd like to start sessions with her again. I liked talking with her so I agreed. The next day, she calls and leaves me a voice mail saying since we've missed so much time that we should get together ASAP. She set a time for the following day, I called her and left a voice mail agreeing. The following day, I was getting ready to go meet her and there's another voice mail saying something has come up and she needs to cancel.
Ok...I can deal with this...no problem. This was the second she did this to me. The first time, I was in her office and she never showed. At least this time she did leave a message.
That brings us to today.....OY!!!!
We've been communicating by voice mails back and forth. I can live with that. Yesterday, she leaves me a VM asking if today at 10 am is good. Fine with me and I leave her a VM saying so. You can see where this is going, right?
I get to her office today at 10. She's not there. I check my phone. Missed her call while I was on the train. She didn't check her messages until early this morning and apparently 10 wasn't going to work for her...how about Wednesday at 11? <smh> Sure, Wednesday at 11 is fine....see you then...SAYS MY VOICE MAIL TO HER!!!
JUST ONCE PICK UP YOUR DAMN PHONE!!!!!
So we'll try it again tomorrow. Yanno...I wouldn't even have written about this except this group includes my primary physician, who has stood me up twice this year. If she doesn't show tomorrow, I'm naming names!!!!
Is there a point to this story? There are a few....
1.) You get what you pay for!!!
2.) Don't ever come down with anything major when you don't have insurance!!
3.) If you're in the medical profession, don't fuck with a guy who has a health and wellness blog!!!!
Ahhhh yes.....I feel much better now. "They call me mellow yellow...quite right, slick"
