Grrr.... angry face

Last Friday I got a call from a doctor's office informing me that I had an appointment today. I had to confirm it was actually for me, because I had made no such appointment. Turns out it was supposed to be for a mandatory insurance exam. I doubled checked the date and time before I got off the phone with the nice receptionist. Hmm, Monday the 17th, sounds a bit odd but she doubled checked it, so okay. (MLK day??) Since I was scheduled to work today, I had to get a replacement.

However upon arriving at the office a little before my appointment time, the building seemed rather vacant. I knocked, then rung the door bell. Called the office and left a message. Repeated this process and then called the 'emergency' number. Still another answering machine. Left another message. Waited on the porch for 15 minutes, then took pictures with my cell phone camera to prove I was there at the right time. I am really frustrated because I could have been working today, but I got a replacement because I was told this was mandatory and yes in fact the doctor's office would be open today. I know that anyone can make a mistake and I'm not angry at any person, just the situation.
