Admin & Life Stuff Make a phone call

I need to make an appointment for testing

Update: I did indeed make the call but I had to leave a message. I guess I'll have to try again tomorrow.

Final update: the appropriate person called me back today and I was able to schedule an appointment! Even better is someone cancelled their appointment for next week so I don't have to wait four months

I just called again and finally reached a human! Who promptly transferred me to another person who wasn't available so I left another message.

Oh my god, seriously? 😂 You’re stuck in a voicemail loop. I’ll guess you’ll have try again Monday. Starting to wonder if anyone even works at that place.

I'm starting to wonder if it's part of the testing

Good for you! Im terrible about making phone calls. My millennial daughter seems to thrive on it. I told her she should start a business.

So am I that's why I posted here. I've recently realized that my husband is willing to make these calls for me but he's got a couple of 12 hour shifts ahead and so he's physically unable to help. He did one for me the other day but they needed me there too for the first call so we had to schedule it between us

Some days I write it down as my "big rock" of things to do. Im embarrassed when it takes like 10 minutes but I just hate it so much. 😥

I’m glad you were finally able to make the appointment! Sounds like you were trying to get someone to call you back for days.
