Thou Shalt Not Have Momentum
I hate phones. I hate talking on phones. For that matter, I don't really like talking to most people under any circumstances. And I really don't like talking to people to tell them that I am about to make their life more difficult through no fault of their own.
So, I need to reschedule a retinology appointment as I'll be in Hawaii at the time. It was scheduled 6 months in advance, so it's hard to guess about such things. But I dislike rescheduling if I can avoid it as it tends to make them overly crowded on whatever day I get moved to. They're always nice about it and friendly when I have to reschedule, but it is a hassle all around. And it'll also inconvenience everyone else with appointments that day. But sometimes you have to.
But since I have to, the sooner I do so the better. That way they can schedule based on my new data. Both to possibly fill the spot I vacated and to not overfill the day I will be taking. So, I was going to call them today.
When I get told that my long distance service doesn't exist and to contact AT&T about it. So, I check when I last paid them (a bit ago and before my current bill is due) and grabbed my account info. I called them up and they checked and apparently a block on long distance from 2006 was affecting my service. This is weird as we didn't have this number in 2006 and we have had long distance since then. The guy on the phone said it was weird, he didn't know why it happened, but he would fix it, which was really all I wanted from him anyway. I'm chalking it up to a weird glitch. What's really weird is I made a long distance call just before trying to call the office, because I needed to check with my father about scheduling info. So, I made one long distance call, hung up, went to make another and was blocked.
Anyhow, he said I'll have long distance back in 10 to 15 minutes. And then I'll go call the office. It's just frustrating because I have to do a task I don't want to do. I get up the energy and willingness to get it done. And then smack, can't do it.
Doing things is really hard. Even stupid little things like this. So, it's really annoying to have a stupid obstacle in the way when I'm finally about to do it.
But at least the obstacle was really easy to deal with. But I hate phones and will have to make three calls today. Ah well. It's not really a big deal. And at least it was a weird glitch.
