DAH!

                           DAH!

        Today's blog is based on actual
events.
        We hold these truths to be self
evident. That, from time to time, we
all deal with wonderful well meaning
people who seem lost in a fog.
         My daughter dealt with one of
them this past week while trying to
arrange a medical appointment. She
had already had the first in a series of
two examinations and called to arrange
for the second.
          The receptionist pointed out
that the tests had to be done within 30
days of the first series. Since the first
were done of January 31st she explained
that my daughter had until February 31st
to schedule the next series.
          Anybody else see a problem here?
          My daughter explained the
obvious and the receptionist agreed to
schedule an appointment for March 2nd.
          My wife spoke with a representative
of a large insurance company to have some
changes made to the policy for our cars.
           The spokesperson took down some
basic information but suggested we'd be
better off speaking directly to our local
agent on Monday.
            Wanting to make sure we were
covered in the meantime my wife wondered
if a call Tuesday would be all right since
Monday was a holiday.
             Seems that information came as a
complete surprise to the company representative.
"What holiday" she asked. "President's Day" my
wife responded. Since it wasn't Christmas or
Thanksgiving the representative said she didn't
recognize that one!
              Admittedly it's only been around for
47 years so it's a relatively "new holiday" which
could explain her ignorance.
               I'm just happy Congress didn't schedule
it for February 31st!
               Hope you have a great day, whatever
date it this is, and that all your NEWS is good!
