Ever have one of those days? I was doing good even though I overslept and was running a little late. We didn't have enough staff to open this morning, but my boss came in sick so we opened an hour late. Then we got a delivery of books. So I was helping to move big totes of books around and pulled a muscle in my back.
I got home and Joe said, "You just missed a phone call you didn't want to have." It seems the Open MRI place I was going to tomorrow morning is refusing to do the MRI of my liver because the blood tests did not come back good. They said my creatinine level is low. I looked it up and Wikipedia says it is low if I am malnourished or have lost a lot of weight. Well, duh. I had to call the closed MRI imaging place and they said if I was so claustrophobic I would have to be sedated and they would be using an iodine based dye. I told them I am the only driver in the household and I would have to go to work following the test so I needed to be alert. And I am allergic to iodine. The girl told me it doesn't matter, they have to use the iodine. So now I have to call the surgeon tomorrow morning and tell her about this and see if there is some other test I can take. Or if it can just be skipped. Why can't life be easy? But I know there is some purpose in this.
Well, now for the phone call of the day:
(phone rings)
Me: Good afternoon, Richmond Library.
Woman: Is this the Free Library?
Me: Yes.
Woman: The one in Port Richmond?
Me: Yes.
Woman: What time are you open till today?
Me: 5 p.m.
Woman: No you're not. You are open late on Mondays.
Me: That has changed. We are now open late on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We are open until 8 p.m. on those days.
Woman: Well I was there last week and you were open at 7 p.m.
Me: That's impossible, ma'am. We closed at 5 p.m. last Monday.
Woman: Where are you located?
Me: On the corner of Almond Street and Indiana Avenue.
Woman (now screaming): NO YOU'RE NOT!!! THERE IS NO LIBRARY ON ALMOND STREET!!!!
Me: I'm sorry, ma'am, but our address is Almond and Indiana.
Woman: YOU'RE A LIAR!!! IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ANSWER ME, JUST FORGET IT!!
JUST FORGET IT!!!!
She then proceeds to slam the phone down.
I love my job. I love my job. I love my job.
21 days to surgery

ReplyDeleteLottsa love & hugs!
I am sorry for that annoying phone call, but I am laughing so hard!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry about that, but for some reason, I think I have heard of similar phone calls like that, but I thought those callers all lived in Florida. =)
I sure hope and pray you can get your MRI w/o too many problems.
Yeah, with phone calls like that you have to laugh. I told my boss and he was hysterical.
