Crazy Busy
Thanks everyone for your well-wishes and concern for me! I'm healthy again -- have been since Sunday -- but the whirling vortex of undone tasks while I was out has swept me into the abyss, so it may be another day or two before I have a real post.
::::: mini-rant ::::
If you have a calendar on your computer system at work and the front desk staff have access to it, is it too much to expect that they will actually open it, understand it, respect it and NOT schedule conflicting appointments?
Repeatedly??
Because really, I'm quite weary of having to call people to cancel appointments I never made and didn't know about. I take responsibility for the scheduling difficulty on the phone, but it irks me. I dislike having to explain that I really am unavailable, I really was unavailable at the time they scheduled their now-cancelled appointment, and it's nothing personal. Then the scramble to reschedule now-grumpy clients.
Hmph.
:::: end mini-rant ::::
I haven't even gotten to read blogs yesterday or today, so any further spare moments I get I'll be prowling around to your sites. Because you guys are fun to read!

Fire 'em all! :)
Hope it all works out soon! We miss ya, and you have to go and be all responsible, catching up on work and the like. Tsk.
I hope you gave someone a stern talking-to over the scheduling issues. And if you did, I bet it went in one ear and out the other, 'cuz that's just how that sort of thing works.
Glad you've found your way back to the living and you're getting back on your blogging feet. We've missed you!
boy, shari, are you lucky i don't write anything any more. catching up on my site will take all of two seconds!
glad you're feeling better :)
I'm SO glad you're feeling better! Ah, all seems right in the world now.
I'm going to visit my Niece today so I'll give her extra snuggles from you.
Heh, front desk personnel SUCK! Oooh, that felt good and I don't even have to deal with them :-)
So glad you're feeling better. If you don't get time to get to my blog I'll tell you that they caught the pellet gun sniper in the building next to me last night. This time he shot up the landlord's Jeep and almost got Ichabod when he was out on the deck.
Just plain irritating when people don't pay attention to your calendar.
I am a firm believer of never allowing anyone to schedule crap for you. Even if you have to say, "I'll be there in JUST a sec." It's fun and you can retain a little control in this wonderful world that is lacking in it.
And I'll tell you my next suggestion...in juuuuuuust a sec.
I'm glad you're feeling better and able to tackle the build up!
Good luck with the appointments thing...sounds like a real pain in the arse. How can someone NOT see that there is a conflict? Oh boy.
That has to be the biggest gripe in my company: lack of communication.
Hang in there. I'm glad you are well again! :oD
Glad you're feeling better and I hope things @ work get better soon also.

There's an audio post that sounds like what we've been grousing about at the gym...it's too funny!
Yeah..ain't that fun? Or when everyone in your entire company can see if you're 'busy' or not but schedule you specifically anyway. I take no small amount of glee in declining those meetings. Bwah ha ha ha!
Glad you're feelin' better, dear.
glad to hear you're feeling better, and getting caught up :)
that situation totally deserves a rant, and a big 'ole grrrrrrrrrr.
Oh Yes! One of those weeks.
