<br /><br />That's when you know you'll get to stay in Court the rest of the day, then get to work the Night Shift again. <br /><br />It really puts you in the Mood to go out and catch more bad guys, so you can get to go to court again. <br /><br />I don't care if they've spent half their lives in college, that doesn't make their time any more valuable than mine. I made an appointment, and I expect them to keep it.<br /><br />Try this the next time it happens:<br /><br />I've walked out numerous times. Tell the reception why you are leaving. 99% of the time you are called next if she asks you to stay.<br /><br />Send a bill to your doctor for the time you had to wait past your appointment.<br /><br />You know those letters you get when you miss your appointment and forget to call? Send them one too.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br />H.
Ken, good idea. Only one problem: changing to a later opening time will only make them late at a later time of day. People who are habitually late are that way because they fail to set and keep priorities. Some do this because they aren't able to get organized but there are also those who are just plain ignorant and do it because they can. Waddayagonnado?
Nope, not your fault, and can't blame you for your frustration.<br /><br />But I remember something a previous boss told me once. "Most people would rather be right than be successful". Even though you're right, chances are slim you're going to influence their behaviour, so suggest you minimize your stress and frustration by either changing shops or recognizing that they're probably not going to be there at the posted time and therefore going a bit later yourself.
