Medicaid is making me take my foster child to for a second opinion to ask them if their office is in an office park as it's an area that has a lot of office parks.   I received an answering service that was manned by probably someone overseas because the woman couldn't understand me.  I asked her 3 times if the office was in an office park and she had no idea what I was saying - just kept saying " I can give you the address.  It is ....." and gave me the information I already had.  I then asked if I could talk to her supervisor and the idiot said "I can give you the office address it is...." and gave me the doctors office address again.   I hung up and called back 3 times and still got the same idiot.

Rest assured that when we see this doctor today he's going to get a piece of my mind about using someone to answer his phones that can't understand basic English!!! 

he'd be saying you are neglecting your children. He COULD help you some so that you have a little free time.

I suppose he needs you to work and make money but then be available when he crooks his finger?

Pet peeve of mine. Makes my blood boil.

After all of these years, I should be used to it, I suppose, but it is a bit insulting when people come up to me and say, "yeah, I'd like to work at home -- must be great, sitting around in your jammies all day" ... "I'm a fast typer (gotta love the typer part), maybe I should do that job."   To heck with grammar, knowledge of the terminology (not only the spelling but also the meaning), medications (including their usual dosages and uses), etc.  Just pull up a computer, put on some sloppy clothes, and *poof* you're a medical transcriptionist!   

Well, gee, I'd like to have a lawyer's income, so I guess I'll just go be a lawyer!   

Okay ... I'm done ranting now ... back to work for me.  Thanks for "listening."  :-)
