A few things that are irritating me today
I hate being an authorized user. We have a couple of credit cards where I am an authorized user. So of course no one lets me make any sort of changes. My hubby does not handle anything financial or medical or bills or anything. I do it all. I track interest rates, I make sure we put money in savings, etc. So when I need to call to change the address or something that I am unable to do online, no one lets me since I am just the authorized user. That blows. Seriously. If I know every detail of the account and every detail of personal information, and I am the one that pays the damn bill. Let me update the address. Come on folks. I mean REALLY!
And waiting. I hate it. Especially if I've made an appointment, and even more so if that appointment was made three months ago. You've had three months notice that we are bringing my baby in today at 1:30 for a check up. Well hubby got the day off work and took the baby. Just called and said they are running late and it will be at least an hour. WHAT!?! It's hard to keep yourself entertained in a waiting room for an hour. Try it with a very inquisitive 15 month old that is missing his much needed afternoon nap. It blows. I know this because it blew three months ago when I waited for over an hour with a one year old that was missing a nap. When the baby was a week old, we went in for our week check up and waited.... 2 and a half hours!
I nurse my babies and am fine with that, however there were other little kids waiting and I didn't want to put other parents in an awkward position of explaining what I was doing. Finally they moved us in another room where I could nurse.
YES I am changing pediatricians. Yes I should have changed long ago. Usually I don't put up with that shit at all.
The kicker is they have started CHARGING for medical records. 25 freaking dollars for them. So I have two kids. These people are sadly mistaken if they think I will pay them $50 for medical records of my kids. Made at visits that my insurance and co-pay already paid them for. And if they give me any shit, I guess I could send them a bill for the dozen or so hours I've wasted sitting in their waiting room.
My last job billed my time at about $100 an hour. So it seems they will actually owe me a chunk of change.
