I've probably blogged about this before however, I am a stickler for protocol.  I like rules; rules are put in place to keep order.  If a pediatrician office has hours posted as 9-5, the office phone should ring and someone should pick up, so you can schedule an appointment.  The answering service admin shouldn't answer the phone and tell you the doctor won't be in until "10-ish, I think."  What the fuck is that?  Additionally, said office should have a professional office staff.... i.e., person behind a desk that can address any questions you may have about future appointments, co-pays, etc......  NOT have an attitude and be on the phone bitching about her boyfriend's partying habits/facebook pictures to a friend.  SO ANNOYED.  I can't wait until I get a real job and pick my own damn doctor and have better insurance.

Now, I am stuck with a sick kid that needs to see a doctor this morning, but can't because the doctor won't be in until 10-ish, I think.  SO fucking mad.  I do not recommend Pediatrics of Woodridge.

It's Chris' birthday today.  I wanted to get him something nice but can't because we are on a tight budget.  So, I got him golf club head covers.  Blackhawks covers.  Not my first choice, but he liked them.... or pretended to, at least.
