Update from Frustration Central
This weekend has been fun so far.
* Friday, I went over in person to my old OB's office to sign off on my records release, since it had been two days and I *still* hadn't gotten the fax (how long does it take to send one faxed piece of paper again?). I had to sit there for 20 minutes waiting on someone to help me, but still. At least it's done now.
* Yesterday, I took an hour or so to type up a sanitized version of the blistering comments I handwrote on eight single-spaced pages in my hotel room in Kansas City during the conference I recently attended. After Hubby read it over and suggested a few grammatical changes, I shipped it off to the appropriate personnel. I probably made a few enemies, and I don't care. I'm not going to blow sunshine up someone's ass just because they're a fraternity brother, and pretend everything was great when basically the entire weekend was a tremendous waste of time and airfare.
* Yesterday, while I was on a roll, I decided to also take a crack at getting in touch with the members (who are hopefully still around) of an organization I helped found last year on campus, but which has been floundering. Watching things fail because people don't follow up PISSES ME OFF so I decided to do something about it. Turns out that something actually WAS happening, but all of us old-timers had been left out of the loop. Nice. I think I've got the problem fixed -- the current treasurer and I are brainstorming ideas to overcome the communication problem. Which leads me to...
* This morning, when I spent all morning creating a new blog for the aforementioned organization. At the very least it can serve as a message board for officers to post information about meetings, projects, etc. That way, even if we get dropped from the email distribution list somehow, there's somewhere we can go for updates.
* Back to Organization #1, I'm thinking of calling one of my local contacts today to chat with him about our new section chair, and see if there's some way we can help a nearby chapter which seems to be experiencing a bit of a leadership vacuum. We shall see.
In the meantime, hubby's making cinnamon rolls (mmm...), and then I'm going to hunt for a slipcover for our ugly couch and chair. I could be, I don't know, doing actual homework or something... but I'd rather take advantage of the fact that I feel halfway decent today (even without meds -- woohoo!) and get some other things taken care of.
