Does anyone out there make appointments, and when it's due, hate to get off your butt to go?

I don't know why you hate having obligations.  Take your two fighting teens with; it would be good for them to 'give back'.

no...I started awhile ago.  I dont like waiting until last minute because its too hard to find the things your looking for.

lol well I once had a boss that was really anal about time, so I would show up early, stand by the time clock till I was 2 min late, then punch in lol\n\nit was a little protest for being yelled at for being 2 min late one day, you would have though I did a no call no show.

no but I'd quite like to make an advance booking for a funeral.   I think it would be a nice way to go.  Can't set the date yet, hope that's OK

I try to not let them have their way too often. It is good for them to know that they are not the only dare you kind of people in the world.\n\nAs a matter of fact if someone is complaining and just plain old making all manner of stupid commotion over some picky thing,(this is the ultimate in rudeness to me) and I find out it bothers them I will do it all the more to see if I can make them leave.\n Who needs somebody who can't bend a little bit and let the world have its own way of flowing.\n\nI also hate the rudeness of standing in line and the people in front of me know the cashier or  teller and they are visiting about a personal matter and letting everyone behind them shift from foot to foot and if you are supposed to be somewhere at a certain time they are causing you to be late. I used to just smile and wait and not say anything, now that I am a grown up and know that they are absolutely the ones in the wrong, I will say ma;am excuse me is there someone else you could call to open another register or pehaps you could take a break now and visit, while another person checks us out. I have things to do today and I do not know who these people are you are talking about, but I do know I have to pick up my kids in about 5 minutes and I am now late because of you and this other person chatting.\n\nThey get red in the face and either call someone else or they get rid of the relative before I have the chance to get management over there.

It helps with lengthy appointments.

Absolutely! If I have somewhere to be at say, 9am and  I show up at exactly 9, I am late. If I arrive at least 10 minutes 'til, I am on time!!

i agree and if i tell someone I'm going to do something, i do it unless breaking the plans in unavoidable, like a sickness or something.  some of our so called friends make plans with us and then if something better comes along, they forget about us. i don't appreciate people like that and we don't plan stuff with them anymore.

I would quitely and politely ask to be excused and ask a friend for help.  If there was none around, I would clean up as much as possible and buy my necessities, rince my clothes out and dry them under the dryer and go on about my business.  But this senario is not likely to happen.  Most women know when their time is due.

Oh, I know the Sunday Blues... And I have recently found the remedy: I try to organize meet-ups and dinner invitations for Monday and Tuesday nights now. That way I look forward to the new week, sometimes I can't wait for Sunday to pass because I want to meet my friends asap. \n\nOk, yes, I am only fooling myself, but then again, if that doesn't work for you, you might want to take a look at the reasons why you don't like your work and change employment?

Looking for excuses already, are we?

maybe it was the building up, the setting yourself up for the disappointment that was actually what you dreaded. when i have something unpleasant looming over my head, i also tend to make it worse than it is.  not only will i dislike BEING there, i also dislike having to think about it.\n\nby the time you GOT there, you're already halfway done.  maybe this ISN'T so bad, and i'll be done with it in a few short hours soon, and i'll get to go home!  why was i even worried in the first place?  whew!

YES! i know just how you feel. then afterwards i say, "it wasnt as bad as I thought" it ususally depends though. but i do hate it when mom says "your getting that appointment next month" and then i think of it for a month- thanks mom...

I suggest to call and make another appointment. That way you can be sure that somebody will make time for you. They will tell you at the call as well if you can complete this validation at normal office hours.

If it is for your annual pap smear, they will have you reschedule it anyway. (I know from experience.) Unfortunately I waited to let them know until I was in that little paper gown. If it's for something else you can always call and ask what they suggest before going.

I'm like you too - I get in there, do my business and go out. I don't like taking any longer than I have to because I know that there are other people in line.  I am honestly baffled why other people take so long!!!!! Not only that, it annoys the hell out of me.
