So I had a repeat of the experience from the last posting. Spammers need to be fucking struck down by lightning, then their remains sent into the sun.

The party was fun, lots of good food and hanging out with people I haven't seen in ages. Or ever.

Remember the vertigo case from last year? My mom woke up with similar symptoms this morning, and we went through similar ridiculous waits trying to get medical attention. The problems started at 9am. At about 12pm, we call in to Kaiser to try and make an appointment to see a doctor about the symptoms, and we're told they will call back. At 1:30pm, they call back telling us to call THEM back at 3pm to make an appointment. (Upon calling them back to ask why the hell such a ridiculous demand was made of us, we were told it was because an after-hours appointment was required if we wanted attention today, and the schedules for those appointments aren't available until around that time.) Calling back at 3pm (which makes the 4th time calling Kaiser, and 6 hours after the problems started), we are told that there are appointments available at 6:00, 6:30, and 7:30. While I was told this, the 6:00 and 6:30 appointments were taken, so we were left with no choice but the 7:30.

At 7:25, we're at Kaiser (and not the one we normally go to, but one a bit farther away because they had after-hours care), and waiting. It was over half an hour before we're called out of the waiting room, and another half hour after the nurse's standard inspection that we actually see a doctor... that literally takes 2 minutes to write up a perscription for Antivert, of which we still had plenty of at home from last year. So, we spent over 11 hours to get something we already had in the first place. >.> At least the OTC variant they had are chewable...

Yeah, I'm annoyed enough at the incessant spam attacks that I don't really feel like writing an entry anymore. Probably going to vent in the direction of the PS2 now.
