MOP's rants about everything! (1 Viewer)

[Ministry of Pain]

You don't know this or probably anything about her. You shouldn't label people who you have probably only had 10 conversations with in your whole life. And even if this is her, you are acting like it is a bad thing. She is clearly better off than you as you said you would love to trade places with her.

I know plenty over the last many years and her hygienists tell me a lot about her as well. There is nothing wrong with any of those traits. She is a very responsible was my real point. And you inferred that I was putting her down and at the same time wanted to trade places with her, that doesn't make a lot of sense.

I have a friend who is a pediatrician and I get a lot of doctor stories about folks he works with. He himself pretty responsible guy but has his momentary lapses of insanity. But the stories he tells me about some of the other doctors and especially surgeons is mind boggling. Many of them, if you knew them in real life, you would never let them touch you in an operating room. So my point going back is that she is a very responsible person, this was out of character for her and she usually is on point.

It'll all be water under the bridge tomorrow. I hope I don't have any cavities though or else she is gonna have a chance to get even with me. "Oops MOP, didn't mean to pinch your gums on that go around"

Someone asked about my wife...she is a terrific person except for 1-2 days prior to the monthly visitor. I don't deserve her and she puts up with too much. I also spoil her rotten many different ways so maybe that's why she puts up with it. Her friends have all been married and divorced at least once. We go everywhere together not he weekends and most nights cuddle together on the couch, we talk about anything we want and we try very hard not to go to bed angry or resentful of the other person. Some nights we have been up until the wee hours working things out but we're still here.

I'd have still gone ahead and given you your records and told you good luck.

I wouldn't even want a patient in my office willing to make that much of a stink over anything.

With people like that it's a ticking time bomb situation... if this isn't the proverbial last straw... something else will be. I've got way too much money in the bank... I don't need your few hundred.

We know and you're a jackass. I mean it with some degree of respect but you brag to everyone in here how much money you have all the time. We likely would never be dentist/patient to begin with and you don't live in a big metro city either. Big fish in a small pond, good for you.

I retracted with her, neither of us wanted to end on that sour note, and I have referred a lot of people to her so you can feel how you like.

You root for the ####eyes and we have a long history dating back Dentist, your opinion in my world is not regarded as highly as say Ford or Glumpy, no matter how many stacks of cash you have laying around the office.

Edit to add: I doubt you would make a phone call 2-3 minutes before closing the office for the day with an open 8 AM slot the following morning. But then again, you have so much money I bet you would just look at it as an extra hour to manage your ever growing large portfolio

A teacher with that much free time worries me. "Ain't nobody got time for that"

How many minutes did you spend in the dead-end conversation you had with your dentist, before you decided to go back, tell her not to copy your file, and start over? How much time do you spend every week doing that type of thing? If you cut out all of those anger sessions, screaming bouts, and useless arguments, would it be enough to do this once a week for the total number of weeks you teach every year? And if you did... do you think that over the course of your teaching career you might save one life? Or at least make one life better over time, because at a young age that kid got something important out of this?

Would that be worth giving up your angry arguments?

 

[dfwboiler]

What time does the dentist's office open?

If it was before 8, then you should've called to confirm before wasting your time.

If it was at 8, you should've called the dentist when you woke up instead of relying on the dentist to return your call.

Make your next dentist appointment when you are at the office. Problem solved.

My dentist's staff always books the next appointment for 6+ months out before I walk out the door ...thought that was the norm.

I do agree that if you said you were coming, she should have responded by letting you know it was filled. However, she might not have known it was filled (if her staff arranged a booking), and the staff might not have heard your message until they arrived.

mistake.

I ran a study a few years back where i looked at 2 years worth of data... the percentage of the time that someone who made their appointment 6 mo. in advance actually came on the day and time that they scheduled (because.. honestly it's a SMALL portion of people who TRULY know their schedule that far in advance).. and the percent was 6%.. SIX.

We now schedule approximately 25-30% of our best patients 6 mo. in advance (which is still probably a mistake.. but they are dug in and like it that way) and with everyone else we put them on a call list for the month they are due back... people MIGHT make an appointment that they make 2-4 weeks in advance (about 60-75%) but almost never 6 mo.

I would not make that phone call 2-3 min before closing - i agree that's probably misguided on their part.. it was the only legit part of your beef.

I believe he was referring to the Buckeyes by a slightly more insulting term. Where he replaced "Buck" with a rhyming word often used to describe the beautiful expression of physical love between two (or more) people.

 

[Nathan R. Jessep]

Have at it, did I do the right thing? Or am I the fool?

This was all on you. You handled it poorly, were disrespectful and sorry but just an ### to her. You never had a confirmed appointment, just a call about an opening. These places have office hours that they keep - it's not a 24-7 support center. Odds are the staff got your message when they came in the next day and called you accordingly.

If you spend this much time thinking that people are out to get you or wrong you, you're always going to find reasons to make it so.

These were pretty much my thoughts as I read the post. I think you were in the wrong on this one, MOP.

MoP left a message and assumed he had an appointment without confirming it with the dentist's office. Nobody to blame but yourself here.

Your tone was clearly negative about her. My point was why would you rip on her but want to trade places...your reading deductive skills are at least better than your writing, Watson.

 

[Ilov80s]

It works great for dating too. Text some girl you like and tell her you are going to pick her up at 9 on Friday. If she doesn't respond, then it's. date. If she isn't home Friday night when you try to pick her up, she is a liar that always did her homework, got by easy in school and never has time for anyone. It's totally reasonable.

Had my 1st "Oh Fudge" moment today...World History/Social Studies and I was trying to show how "Money is not the root of all evil but rather lack of money" and getting the stage set for WWI and WWII, showing how not everyone in the world is on a level playing field. And for whatever reason...

Kid decides to tell me and the entire class that his father is being released from prison today and that he hates the MO-FO in those words. He goes on to say that his father is extremely violent and crippled his mother to the point she can barely work and is handicapped against certain jobs

Where the Eff is that in the teacher's manuel? I couldn't find it so I tried to comfort him and asked if he really wanted to keep talking about it in class or perhaps we could slide down to the front office and talk there, maybe call his mom so we can all talk together about it. He started crying so I put my hand on his shoulder to let him know it was OK and he sort of fell into me so I hugged him and he said he was scared, I told him it was gonna be OK(so cliche). I informed the principal and lead teacher, they said they would look into it. I said how about right now? They said they had FCAT next week and they were a little busy

I get called down a little while later and I'm thinking I probably did everything wrong but they told me he asked if he could just talk to me. I said I'm not really the right person for this and that's when they reminded me I had a psychology degree and that's when I reminded them it's not a PhD in child psychology but more general stuff. I said I would do my best. I took him to the lunch room and bought him some ice cream and asked him what he wanted to do, he said he felt a lot of anger and I just kept telling him it was OK to feel that way or any way he wanted to feel about it

He said he felt better and I told the principal he needs immediate psychological support, whatever form that is from the county level, not his history teacher. Principal agreed. He hung out in my classes for the rest of the day, I had his other teachers send me his work so he wouldn't fall behind.

I hope I don't have to repeat this again any time soon.
