Eh, there's a depends here. I've had 2 really shit times in the last week dealing with people I know are underpaid; I also just don't care? Like, here. I've been having a scare with kidney disease. I'm in my 30s and I found out that I could have stage 3 kidney disease. I've been having near daily panic attacks for years because of a now-ex partner, and I'm on bp meds because my bp gets so high my organs start dying. So who calls me at fucking 7pm while I'm making dinner but the overworked NP at the nephrologists office. I miss the call. She leaves a message saying she needs to speak to me about my test results. I call right back and get routed to their after hours machine. Do you know how fucking anxious I was? I thought it was an emergency. I thought there was an issue with my results; I was devastated, and distraught. My bp shot up to over 200/120. I almost ended up in the hospital again. And for what? Because she decided to stick it to her boss and call me half-assedly? Why would you call me at that time and leave a message like that? Fuck a boss, but when you're dealing with people's health, I'm sorry but pick how you stick it to the fucker.
