Damn Dentist!

Today has been a complete disaster - I had an appointment at the dentist which is 40 miles away. I set off an hour and a half before I was due to be there because the traffic can be bloody slow on that particular route and I wanted to give myself plenty of time. Anyway, the traffic was slow as usual but I managed to get there just in time, only to be told that my appointment had been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances! Well, after driving 40 miles in shit traffic, not to mention taking the afternoon off work and losing a day's pay, I was pretty pissed off. I mean, come on - can't they use a phone? Why didn't they just call me and tell me the appointment was off? I was mad as hell and I made sure they knew it. Oh, they were full of apologies, but what use was that? The treatment I needed was already three weeks overdue because of a previous cock-up on their part, and now I've got to wait yet another two weeks to get it done. I am NOT a happy bunny!
