Reunion Tour : So, What Are You Up To These Days?

Got a wonderfully revealing call today from the Workman's Compensation division of my company :

ring, ring

WC foole : "we're just waiting for a letter from Dr. #1 to explain the need for a referral to a specialist"
me : "um, because after 2 weeks on antibiotics my toes still aren't healing? Oh, and by the way, I wasn't examined by Dr. #1"
WC foole : "you weren't?"
me : "no"
WC foole : "well, he wasn't in the office and his assistant was Dr. #2 but he has to confirm the diagnosis/referral decision"
me : "but if he isn't in the office, WHO is supposed to write you the letter?"
WC foole : "well, it may be up to a week before he returns and forwards his letter to us"
me : " oh, ok, thank you very much, I'll just sit here, out of work, while you all pay my salary and my feet bleed on the rug"
