I’ve been coming here once a week for the last three weeks
This is week three
Jem hates this place
It’s awful
You just sign in to wait for hella long in a smelly ass room w no cell phone service
I didn’t even realize it smelled until she told me
She was like yeah
It does
If you went to hell, that would probably be it
She said I should’ve brought my book, but I can’t read in here w two TVs going on different channels
The main one is playing an MTV show w the Osbournes going over scary videos
It sucks, but I’d rather watch that than the morning prime-time lineup on ABC
I’m not pissed yet since my appointment time isn’t for another min
I probably won’t be pissed over so many min since then either
You really can’t be
Bc there really isn’t anything they can do in the most likely case that you are
This place just sucks
They know it
The doctors do too
Two min past my appointment time
They’re going over a potential poltergeist clip now
I’m like, so it begins
I think I wrote as much as I could about this place, but I don’t think I nailed it like I don’t think I nailed its essence
Then again though I don’t think it’s worth nailing
I wanna go to the bathroom to hit my vape but I don’t wanna lose my seat
I’m comfortable here
This is probably the most agreeable I’ve been this morning since I woke up at Jems where I was kinda pissed off
Dreading having to come all the way out here
Also wondered if I even had to while she was just full of it
Bursting w so much energy
She could’ve done a backflip
In fact, she probably did once she got back from walking me a few blocks
It’s twenty min passed my appointment time
A few ppl ahead of me have gotten pissed off and got up to go walk around outside
Something too is some ppl that get called back there will then come back out here to the lobby to wait some more unless this woman’s leaving
But the one to my left w the seat between us had to do just that, and she’s been here ever since
Service is better here when you just chill I guess
It’s fleeting, but I’ve been able to hold a game of pool against Jem for like four turns
It’s mine now
Looks like she’s beating my ass too
She’s playing hella defensive
I’ve gone to the bathroom a couple of times to vape
I wanna be like if you don’t want me to vape in here then maybe you shouldn’t have me waiting for a whole fucking three hrs
Now this woman who just got in here is playing Candy Crush w the volume at full blast
I saw Jem doing that w a word game the other day I had just downloaded
I was like why are you playing w the sound on
You hella like the sound effects and music
There isn’t any music in this woman’s case though
Just the former
I'm down to let her go ahead of me if it means I don’t have to hear it
The woman behind the counter was hella looking at me as I got out of the bathroom too like did you just go in there to vape
I wanna be like yes I did and I’m doing it for every fifteen min you make me wait passed my appointment time
Before that stare, I was thinking in the bathroom like I wanna tell em every time I get up to go do it too like hey
I’m about to go vape in your bathroom in case they call me
Hold my spot
No smoking in here my ass
They’re lucky it’s not a cigarette for how long you got mf waiting in here
Hella losing my mind in the lobby
I wanna get up to complain, but everyone’s already approaching them for that
They’re behind on everyone here
This is so pathetic
It’s that pathetic
What kinda institution is this really
A crackpot one if you ask me
I’ve had to have written either over or damn near a thousand words since I sat down and I’m running outta ideas
This place is getting hella busy too
This reminds me of my old barber shop that would double-book
Is everyone just like double-booked like did they just book all of us for the same time lol
Wtf
They just told me I’m the only one here to get evaluated, but the clinician isn’t here yet so if she doesn’t arrive in another ten min they’re gonna switch me to another one
I'm like why don’t you just do that now lol
I'm tired of listening to Candy Crush
I wonder how long I spent talking about my writing practice in here
I guess all this is protocol, but it’s also supposed to make me eligible for telehealth which I need to confirm
And badly bc I’m not trying to come back out here anymore for this
This is like a part-time shift
I’m hella surprised by how tolerant everyone’s being of this woman’s Candy Crush volume
I think the louder it gets, the more you’re crushing it, and so I guess she really was around a min ago
She’s at it again
This lady’s taken a break from Candy Crush as I just crushed the eight into the right corner pocket
I almost wanna trade words w this chap seated diagonally across from me about the wait, as they’re getting increasingly impatient
They must be new
I am getting impatient too though even though this makes it easier
Here comes hector
The elderly woman that came back out to wait here is hella going through it at this point, and she’s in no condition to be like they might have to call nine one one
I’m like you can’t be having ppl waiting out here like this
They apologized to me when I got back there when I was like yeah
I know it gets like this
They were like no it doesn’t
Someone just didn’t show up without calling out
I was like oh so is that’s just what’s happening every time I come in here
No it’s not
Stop gaslighting the both of us
