Plus ça change . . .

I had my "get-acquainted" visit with the VA Health Care system today. It all went well, except. There's a parking structure there with five floors, and it took me fifteen minutes of driving up and down before somebody pulled out and I managed to sneak into that spot before anybody else. So I was five minutes late for my first appointment. That was not how I had planned to have my first meeting with a new set of health care providers.

Turns out VA employees, like employees at every other business, love to grumble about the lack of parking near their workplace. I apologized for being late and explained; both the nurse's assistant and the doctor just rolled their eyes and said, "Ah yes. I had trouble today too. Your best bet is to make appointments really really early or mid-to-late afternoon."

Good to know.
