it's 2:30pm and I'm already aggro.

thejunipertreeI ran out of insulin needles for Nympho last night and had COMPLETELY forgotten to call in to have his prescription refilled. This morning, I call the vet's office so that they may call the pharmacy and have it filled again. I'm put on hold for ten minutes and forced to listen to Michael McDonald's 'Ain't no mountain high enough', which fills me full of the undeniable feeling of wanting to hork. The receptionist picks back up and asks if they can help me, I tell her once again what I'm holding for. And she puts me on hold again, for another ten minutes. I smoke another cigarette, drink my tea, and begin pacing in the kitchen (pacing is what I do on the phone and is one of the reasons why I hate talking on it, I'll pace all over the goddamn apartment if I'm on for enough time). A tech finally picks up, I tell HER the situation. She starts checking for my records and after putting me on hold twice more (to make sure it's okay), she tells me that she'll call it in now and I'll be able to pick up the script later this afternoon.
Yeah, we'll see about that. They always manage to fuck this up, one way or another. I just wish they would put a multiple refill allowance on the damn prescription, so I don't have to go through this every time I run out of needles.
I called the high school and was put on hold, first by the general receptionist and then by the guidence office. After a bit of mucking around, I'm finally put through to someone who can help me. Give them the address to send my transcripts to. And this weekend, I'm hopefully going to be able to check my father's basement for my immunization records.
This staffing agency shit is really starting to get on my nerves and all of this is the prime reason why I never wanted to deal with temp/staffing places. When I interviewed with them, a couple of weeks ago, I was told that they would call me in a couple of days and that if I didn't hear from them, to call.
Which is what I did.
However, the one girl had gone home sick that day. So, the one I spoke to told me that she was going to leave the other one a voicemail to call me.
I waited. No call. I called them again.
This time, the girl I needed to speak to was in an interview. And the receptionist told me that she does't have voicemail, but was going to put me through to the other girl's voicemail. Okay. I left a message, asking them to call me.
Nothing.
A couple days after that, I direct called the one girl and got her voicemail. Left a message.
Nothing.
So today, I'm fed up. And I direct call the other girl. She actually answers the phone (finally!) and I brief her of my situation and everything that has been going on. What's her reaction?
SHE HAS NO IDEA OF ANY OF THIS WHATSOEVER.
What the shit? This is out of control.
She tells me that she has to speak to the other girl and that they'll call me on Monday. Yeah. Whatever. I know this song and dance. I've seen it all before.
Tuesday, I have an interview with another agency.
