I don't like what I have become in the last couple days....I am usually a calm person, but situations lately have turned me into a short-tempered, angry, cranky person. Students again and I will not begin on that tirade....same garbage, different day. The clients in the clinic are a piece of work...the latest list of complaints:
1. Why does it take so many visits to clean your teeth? (teaching school)
2. I did not want fillings, therefore I should not have to pay! (you came, you pay)
3. I don't have any money! (could you tell me this BEFORE we did the work)
4. You loosen my filling when my teeth were cleaned, so you should do the work for free. (it is documented you came in with a loose filling - PAY!)
5. Every time I come, you want me to pay $35 for a filling (go to the dentist and pay $200 if that bothers you)
6. I don't want to have a cleaning; I just want my tooth fixed (not our policy)
7. I'm in pain, I need my tooth done NOW (no can do, you are not a client here)
8. Thanks for nothing you b***h, (your welcome, God bless you)
9. I need work done now, can you put my name first on the list? ( if you brushed your teeth, you would not be in such a hurry)
10. I called and did not leave a message because it only beeped once (it says leave a message after the BEEP, not BEEPS!!!!!!!!!!)
...and so on and so on. All of this took place and it was not even a full moon. People seek out our clinic, we do not go after them, so stop with the complaints. Comply with our policies or go to a dentist and pay their fees. Everyone is having a rough time financially, so your case is not special....I have heard it all. Do not neglect your teeth for 20 years and expect us to drop what we are doing, ignore our policies and take care of you just because you are in pain. Regular dental care will prevent most emergencies. "A lack of planning on your part does not constitute and emergency on my part". God give me strength to endure these next 2 days without hurting someone....these people are NOT worth jail time, lol.....!!!!!!!!

One of those Days
I will begin by apologizing to anyone reading this; I use my blog as a place to rant and vent; if this is not what you want to hear, STOP READING NOW.
Yesterday was one of those days when you feel that you have had enough and you need someone to stop the merry-go-round and LET YOU OFF. The end of the school year is always full of drama; it is hectic, mind blowing crazy, and you just want it to be over. That is the point I have reached. I am sick of it all; I love my job, I just dislike this time of year. Students do not have great time management skills and of course wait until the last minute to do work that could have been done weeks ago. Then it becomes our problem if they do not finish their requirements, they lose instruments, they have to resort to lying and cheating to accomplish their tasks; enough is enough. The whole situation could be fixed by LETTING ME GO ON VACATION RIGHT NOW. I constantly leave work late because I have to fix a problem at 4:30pm everyday; I am rushing home to take Justin to work, get supper finished, clean the church, go to Bible study or get to quilting class, take your pick. I long for leisure time. Relaxing on the porch in the morning, eating breakfast and watching the birds, taking time to actually browse when shopping, not having a schedule, not having to be anywhere at any particular time, lying in bed until I am ready to get up. This is what I do when I am off for the summer..............HURRY JULY 10TH.....I NEED YOU NOW.

Just stuff
I am just going to talk about stuff. I am looking forward to finishing up at work, and starting vacation, even though we do not have any concrete plans for our vacation. I know what I would like to do, but I have to consider my husband and his limitations.
It has been a difficult semester; a lot of student issues that has cause a great deal of stress at work. Students consistently have ignored our instructions and I feel they are not ready to graduate, but it is not my call to make. I cannot believe how this generation feel they must lie, cheat, steal and whine in order to get by. I view this on a daily basis. People call our clinic and feel they are the only people in need of care and we are to drop what we are doing and immediate come to their aid, even though they have neglected their dental care all these years; now they are in extreme pain and it is our duty to help them, NOW !!!!!!!
I am happy we got a lot of junk out of our basement; I could not believe what we had stored down there. It felt so good to purge and rearrange things. The family room is shaping up nicely. I got a reclining love seat down there and once I am finished work, I can get the laundry room together and I will be satisfied with the basement. I want to clean and arrange my kitchen cupboards and finally paint my neglected bathroom. We have been in our house for 7 years this July and have not made any major changes since we have been here.
I miss my family and being able to take part in family functions. I wish my family would visit more, but with the new restrictions and needing a passport, I doubt they will put me on their visitation list. I love having company and making them feel welcome. I have some new recipes I want to try; I love to cook.
I am making dinner for my husband and dad for Father's Day. Our tradition is to have barbecue steak. Therefore we are having striploin steak with grilled peppers and swiss cheese, twice baked potatoes with bacon, green onion and cheddar, romaine salad with red onion, cukes and strawberries;grilled asparagus and corn on the cob, garlic toast and brownie sundaes for dessert. I hope they enjoy it.
that is all for now, I am tired and I need to go watch the hockey game to see the Pittsburgh Penguins win the Stanley cup. Peace out.
