Why Do they Do That?

Today has been day 4, of 5, of working from home. A busy morning was followed by a wide variety of afternoon tasks, one of which was very frustrating.

I had dropped my repeat prescription to the docs on Wednesday morning, prior to driving to work. At ours you have to wait 48 hours before you can collect. So, I dropped the work I was doing and drove across town to the surgery. It was sunny so I could have the top down and top up the tan.

I asked the receptionist for my 'scrip. She went away; came back; looked at the computer; went away; came back and looked in a large lever arch file. Then she looked at the computer, looked in a smaller file and then said that it was at the pharmacy. Now there are 2 in the area, one round the corner, my usual, and one half a mile away. Guess where mine was!

She couldn't explain why, just that that was what had happened.

Still it gave me the opportunity to call into Sad Sister's, who should now be renamed Happy Sister. She's got a job at the school she was at last year and therefore has no worries about the new year in September. HURRAH!!!!
