What a freaking mess. Monday flew like crazy. Here was the plan, then I will shortly state what went down.
Plan
Well Murphy had screwed it up.
I get to my mother on time, but she is not ready. I wait 10 minutes or so and then take her onto outpt services. We sit for awhile, then get the paperwork checked, ect. Then wait another little while. They take us up to surgery. Wait another 10 minutes. Get her in, I can't go back there till they get her ready for the surgery room. Wait another 20 minutes. ( see a pattern here? ) Get back there, see the doc. Everything will be cool, be about 1.5 hours. ok ok
I go back and wait in the surgery waiting room. I also had my wife bring my PDA to me , since I forgot it so I can call into a 8:30 a.m. conference call. 2 hours later still no update. I begin to ask whats the deal. Then finally the Dr. comes out, yes, all went well. She will be up in the room in about 20 minutes. "What's the room number, Doc?" " OH well they will tell you in 20 minutes." OK
I also had already made a call to the boss lady, I will be a little bit late. Then after another hour of no-updates. I finally get the lady to call for an update. Received the room number and walked up there. ( Also asking anyone if there is a cable outlet for me to work. of course not, no ) Then I sit in there till they get her in. I didn't get a chance to leave till freakly 12 p.m. I was so frustrated with the time-line. Yes, the main thing was my mother and I know the concern should lie there, and it did. But I knew she would be ok with this, I just did. But frail, a 1.5 hour procedure lasted 5 hours. 2 hours more if you count the time I got up. (sigh)
Now during all this time, my wife is running her freaking head off grabbing some errands and then being stuck at home, while the cable guy goes through 3 cable digital converters that were bad, then had to go to Van Buren (about 30 minutes away ) to acquire another one that would work. You would think they test them out first.
On top of that, we are still getting our friends kid at noon. I drove there on the way home to grab him and take him to the day care center.
Get home, get updates and hit the work.
My wife went to grab the kids from school at 3p.m. , take them to the Chiropracter, then Speech therapy, then grabbed something for supper since we had the meeing at 6:30 p.m.
When they returned home, we ate and I threw them in the shower to get the showers done. We all 4 went to the PTA meeting. The kids had their snack there. Came home, kids brushed their teeth, went to bed. I then ran to 2 errands, then over to the hospital to check on my mom with some flowers, ect. from the family. (sigh)
I got home around 10:30 p.m .
So that was Monday in all its glory.
Tuesday,
I had scheduled the call to change interfaces that would move Hemocare charges from Hemocare --> Invision to Hemocare --> OPUS. This was already tested and we had the prior meeting last Monday. Now the plan was if they had an issue then contact us because this call was the make or break for us turning this on. Well, the facilty had some charge codes they were concerned about and didn't quite understand. I asked when this was found, the answer? Last Thursday. Needless to say, I was aggravated. The project is now moved up another week, with another facilty up another week as well. Maybe we can get this up next Tuesday.
I had to grab another Cable digital converter for the living room. We found that there are an additional 5 kids channels on the higher channels. figures.
