Hi there,
I was waiting in a queue at a hospital last week, my partner too. We were told we had one appointment which started at 10:15 AM.
Yeah, NOT. Turns out there were 5 appointments, each one would send you on to ANOTHER FUCKING queue. No priority as you have been in the queue for hours already. Nope, back to scratch and fill out more forms with identical data on them.
I'm sorry but I thought we were in the 21st century and computers made life easy. Apparently they do but every single stop of those 5 had different types of PC's and they were not connected to each other so you could end up with 5 incorrect records and no one knows who you are. How? Well each area types the data in themselves and you don't see it.
WHY? It's madness and just proves human beings are NOT intelligent and neither is a computer if it is used by dummies. Having been part of teams back in the 90's who installed auto processing systems in places like the Tax Office wouldn't you think some piss ant hospital would see the savings in one recording? Oh, no way. Let's waste everyone's time and make the whole process as expensive as possible shall we?
What's a hospital visit like if you don't wait for maybe hours at each part of the process?
Apart from wanting to scream and punch someone, anyone really, I was also lucky enough to sit, in one queue, 3 seats away from a guy who appeared to be totally stupid to put it mildly.
Now, normally a guy spouting all the stuff he did I would get up, go confront him and tell him and everyone around him that what he was saying was total bullshit.
This is where the time for restraint comes in. You see, the guy was in a wheelchair that appeared to have better mechanics than the average NASA rocket as he could manouvre into any position he wanted. And proceeded to do so, endlessly. But that WASN'T ANNOYING AT ALL.
It was what he was saying. He spoke very loudly and was going on about this being the coldest summer he's ever experienced. That got me going as our summer does not actually start until December 1. As it was 20.11.14 he had 10 days left BEFORE summer even started, let alone allowed him to judge it temperature wise.
He explained in detail but I couldn't bear it and went for a walk after he said the centre of the Earth is the coldest part of the planet. Yeah, right, lava is always cold, right? He said it was to do with the angle of the sun. To me that means simply it is above the planet at all times. I could restrain myself in his case as he was in a wheelchair, bandages all over his legs and clearly unable to think properly at all. So I said nothing, just took a pressure break. He was still at it when I returned but I figured, can't be much longer, can it? Thankfully it wasn't and I went in for that part of the process.
But he did manage to announce that Cairns was the coldest place he'd been. Not the weather, underneath the ground, apparently. Somehow I don't see him EVER going underground except that once at the end.
That man is lucky to be as restricted in movement as he is as if he wasn't, someone would ensure he soon was. Unbearable ignorance and insisted on being loud enough for all to hear. Guess I'll just have to dig a swimming pool full of lava for a cold dip huh?
