Two things which would normally drive me to the point of hair-pulling, were quite simply – easy!
Yesterday I needed to call the election commission for my county and have them track my ballot for the November duty. Calls to government agencies – not high on my list of joys. I prepared for a long haul, when to my surprise, Carol answered promptly and proceeded to regale me during our chat. We both laughed about the delays in many things, but she assured me their new system would be taking care of the many issues being experienced. She even told me she’d call me back so as not to keep me on hold as she navigated the new system doing her investigation. She was true to her word, and I now will be voting in person having voided the lost ballot. Not my favorite option, but the safest at this late date.
The second surprise was my easy online scheduling for a booster shot. Seriously? I tried to get the flu vaccine and could only do so after the third attempt, with help from my daughter. No walking in and getting assistance! No, no. No same day scheduling either! Tsk, tsk. It was irritating.
So it was a pleasant surprise when I didn’t even have to employ patience as a virtue for two minor aggravations. I was walking on air all day! Let’s see if I need a patience pill today for anything?
