I got up early today and got in a big hurry… because I was scheduled to get the tires replaced on my jeep. So I am sitting in Walmart waiting for the mechanic. Now that is not worth writing about… even if it is an annoying thing for me. Though I suppose that anything can be a writing prompt at the right time… No, the reason why I decided to go into the writing mode… the email that reminded me of the appointment. It said that I was supposed to be on time – 7 am on a Sunday, and if I wasn’t there within 15 minutes then they would give my slot away. There was no one in the tire center until 12 after 7. So I am running around with anxiety…omg I will be late…of course I am 15 minutes early because I always am – thank you anxiety. Only to be made to wait wondering if anyone is going to be here for twelve extra minutes.
why do places do that? Doctors offices do it too. Don’t be late! Do they just like adding a layer of anxiety?
All I can think of as to why they do it is that so many people are late (and tend not to take responsibility for it) that they drive the schedulers and front desk people to tearing their hair and gnashing their teeth.

I’ve had that feeling too at times, even this week. The only thing that keeps me calm to an extent through it all is prayer and trusting in God, but that’s just me.

They did… until they didn’t. My life is a series of unfortunate events.
