Damn mapquest!
I admit it...I have no sense of direction. However, I have gotten a lot better with them over the past couple of years. I called the doctor on Monday because I haven't had my period since November, when I took prescription pills that brought it on. I always feel like it's coming, and it never does. I finally made an appointment to find out what's wrong. The appointment was for yesterday and Tuesday I was out shopping and decided I would drive by the hospital to see if I still remembered how to get the doctor's office. I got off the highway and there was all this construction and of course, no detours. By some miracle, I found my way to the right road where the hospital was, found the office and made my way back home without any trouble. I asked my mom if she knew of another way to go, and she wasn't sure. I went online, looked for an alternate route on mapquest.com and printed directions, thinking I'd be fine. My appointment was for 3:10...I left at 2:40...at 3:05, I was going over the George Washington Bridge into NYC, hysterical crying. I called the office and told them I was lost. A woman connected me to a voice automated direction line that was of no help whatsoever. I called again saying I was lost and the direction line did not help. She connected me AGAIN to the same line. I called a final time to cancel--it was a different woman this time who was ridiculously rude and kept shouting at me. I got home and rescheduled for next week. I'll find the right way to go before then. For the record, it was not my fault. I followed the directions--I can always follow directions. They were simply wrong. So now, it's another week of worrying and stressing over what could be wrong with me. No one seems concerned and everyone keeps saying I'll be fine and it's nothing serious. For my sake, I hope they're right.
