The Quarter Life Chronicles

While I'm enjoying my new position at work, I often find myself frustrated with the fact that the person that previously held my position left things in chaos. 

Perhaps chaos is an exaggeration but not by much...

There has been many days in the past few weeks that I could have been spared a lot of frustrations, had I been left the proper information.  Take today for instance.  I was scheduled to take one of our residents to a doctor's appointment.  I was only given the name of the doctor and so I made the assumption that the office was just down the road.  I pick up the resident from her day program and head over to the office...I walk in, give the receptionist the residents name and was told that I was in the wrong office, that the appointment was in another town about 15 minutes up the road.

Of course I was late to the appointment.  And of course I blamed myself even though as far as I knew, there was only one office for this particular doctor.  If the girl who had scheduled the appointment gave me the proper information, the situation would not have happened.  I would have shown up to the appointment on time...and I probably would have been able to get out of work on time. 

But don't get me wrong, 85% of the time, I do like the new position.  I just don't enjoy making myself look bad because of situations that are out of my control-and were easily avoidable.
