< whine>
I woke up today with UTI. I called one Kaiser and waited on hold only to be told that I have to call my primary office. I eventually get a hold of a nurse and she says she can put in the prescription for me. I tough out another 2+ hours at work, going to the restroom every 20 min.
Finally, when I was done w/ work, I head home and call the pharmacy to see if my drugs are ready. They have no record of my prescription! argh. More calls, more transfers, and a whole lot more of waiting later I find out that the nurse was unable to do it b/c she was w/ urgent care & during office hours, you have to go through the docs office instead!
So I try calling the docs office, but was told to call back b/c they're all at lunch. Call back later and got to the right office. Went through the whole questionaire AGAIN and was put on hold for another 10 min... only to be hung up on!! So I call back and eventually a nurse said she'll get the doc to sign off on it.
J convinces me to get a haircut in the meantime. So I go and ask for an update from my previous perm... expecting to walk out with that same fresh, cute cut/perm I got last time. After falling asleep and hitting my head on the blow dryer thing, and sitting there for an ENTIRE evening, I ended up looking worse than I walked in!
My hair was still waaaay long and the waves looked lifeless. So he started to thin out my hair even more, but it still looked bad... I didn't pay for bed hair! I figure the problem was it needed more obvious layers and shortened, so he chops off my hair... including all the newly permed hair!!! So now I look like a mushroom. A poofy top sitting on my stem of a neck. :*( I have never been this unsatisfied with my haircut!! I'm going to wear a beanie for the next month and hopefully it'll be long enough to have something done to it. :(
My hair stylist has never let me down the entire several years I've been with him. In fact, he has always left me pleasantly surprised each time! I felt bad b/c I think it was poor communication. I wanted more layers and a bit shorter, but i only said shorter. I assumed he would just do the thing he has always done! He knew I was unhappy, but I didn't make a big deal to him about it because I didn't want him to feel bad. I don't like making ppl feel bad, and I know everyone has their off days. I have underdelivered before and I know how dissapointing that feels, so I didn't want to make him feel worse than he probably does. Paid him the full amount still and yes, will still return to him, but with more specific requests next time. As one of my students said regarding his favorite sport team, "One bad season doesn't make them a bad team." So I give him the benefit of the doubt and will try again once I regain some inches.

I hate 2008 so far. (But I DO appreciate greatly how my relationship with J and our photography has only been getting better, so I am grateful for that.) But all the other stuff going on around me suck. :\
Edited: Oh yeah, so WHILE I was sulking about my hair, I check my voicemail and it's a nurse telling me to call her back. damn, there must have been an issue with the prescription! I call back and they said the clinic closes at 5! The nurse left me the voicemail at 5:30 though! So still no meds. ugh... okay, now I'm done.

He ended up with an owie on his foot, so Natalie played doctor. Must have learned it from her mother.
Then some... cuddling?
THAT was an eventful day. The next day I had a very chilled day with Aiden.
