Today, while sitting through a meeting about some new additions to our health insurance coverage, the man said, "If you don't sign up by May 1st, you have to go through a physical."
I thought, "oh that reminds me, I better check when my appointment is for my physical!"
A half hour later, I get back to my desk and pull out the reminder card from my Doc. There it is.
My appointment was on Tuesday, April 12. Today is Thursday...April 14. Yikes!
Then I remember this. I submitted a request for a paid day off on April 12 so that I wouldn't have to be at work before my physical. I never took that day off! I completely forgot I had the day off!! And I forgot my appointment!!!
So, I called my doc and talked to her nurse. I explained the whole thing - how my brain stuttered or something and how I forgot the whole day! I rescheduled my physical for April 20 - next Thursday.
My boss walked into my office and I told her the whole crazy story. She laughed as she signed another request for a paid day off, this time dated April 20. Then, as she handed it back to me, she got this funny look on her face.
"Wait a minute!", she said. "You can't take next Thursday off!"
"I have to!" said I, "i just made my appointment for that day!"
"NO!", she says, "You can't! You're training the entire office next Thursday, remember? We purposely chose that day because it didn't conflict with your appointment!"
Well, shit...
So I call my doc's nurse again and explain yet again that I have to reschedule!
She was still laughing when I hung up!
