Flu Shot?

Well, I will be receiving my flu shot today. I don't usually get one, at least I haven't for the last few years. Did I mention I really, really, really HATE needles?

Not A Grampy says that now that I am getting "up there" I should. So, after smashing the top of his head with a frying pan, I scheduled an appointment. Besides, I do work for an agency that has a shelter and we are exposed to all kinds of contagious bugs on a daily basis. But I am not going to let Not A Grampy know that he may have a point.

Tell me something, why do Dr. appointments have to be such a hassle? I mean give me a break, I am paying them to be able to come into their office, have a needle shoved into arm with junk then inserted into my body.

Now, I am usually at work at 8 am, an hour away from where I live and an hour away from my Dr's office. So, why couldn't I get an appointment at say, 8:30 or even 4:30? It's not like it is going to take the an hour.

Nope, they only do the flu shots between 11 and 1. Since I am the one paying, shouldn't the appointment be on my schedule? When I am available?

So here I sit, after my 7:30 am meeting, at home, (not being paid, by the way) waiting for an appointment, that I have to pay for, at a time I don't want, to have something done to my body that I really don't like.

Am I a dumbass or what?
