Aggravation

Got news that we would close on the house today. We got the call last Friday and we've been very excited about it. My agent called and said they wanted to close on FRIDAY but that was too short of notice for us to get there in time since we live an hour and a half away and my husband was at work. My agent said that she wanted to know if MONDAY would work for us. YES! We said. We'd make it work. Friday night I send her a message asking what time we need to be there. She didn't have an appt time. NO TIME! "I'll have to call them in the morning on Monday, will let you know." Is it just me or is that very unprofessional?! We have to rent a vehicle that's large enough to bring some the heavy pots I had in the back yard to our new place. They didn't make the cut when we were moving and they didn't fit in our car when we went back to clean. Our reservation was for 9am. It's now 9:30 and we haven't heard a peep from our agent. OH! We've called her. No reply. Did I mention that since we didn't have a time, we kept the kids home. We were afraid if we didn't take them we wouldn't be home in time to intercept their buses. My son gets home before my daughter and he's not old enough to stay alone. Yeah. Here we sit. Waiting for the call.....I should have sent them and then just picked them up when we had an appt. That would have been the smart thing to do.

I was so excited about the closing call that I forgot to call the doctors office to get the results from my sons test. The doctor said if I hadn't heard from them in the afternoon that I should call back. I remembered too late. The office was closed. SIGH. Their listing in the phone book said they were open on Saturday morning till noon. NOPE. No they aren't. So I called this morning 15 minutes after they opened. She told me she didn't have them. She'd call the lab and ask for them and then call me back. That was an hour and a half ago. I'm afraid they didn't turn them in. Why would I think this? Because when I showed up on Thursday morning with my little cup of pee the lady behind the desk acted puzzled by it. "Uh, you just want us to check it out then?" I wanted to tell her that I just go around dropping random urine samples off to see what they would do but instead I bit my tongue. Instead I told her that the doctor wanted to have some tests done on it. She put on her gloves and took it away.

I am so frustrated this morning! What happened to professionalism? Is it gone?
