Good morning peevers and welcome to the weekend.

Anything planned?

I have to go back to the private hospital I attended last week.

Last week having already been asked in advance to put my appointment back half an hour found that the consultant was running late and I cancelled.

So I'm back today, late morning, and hope he's running to schedule.

However having an appointment late morning can mean that your day is tied up around that.

How would that be for you? Let's find out as I'll make the POTD;

One appointment tying up your day.

Most service people around here say they will be here between 12pm and 4pm but usually show up around 5pm...good peeve.

Good Morning, Early Birds!
Not a peeve for me, as I haven't had one appointment in a day for many years. Instead, I schedule back to back appointments all day long, as part of my business. I do remember many years ago waiting for a service person for quite some time. That experience instilled in me a genuine sense of respect for others' time. I schedule business appointments within a one hour window, and accommodate others the best of my ability.

BEEEEUUUUTIFUL pics Jezer!

If I make a Dr. Appt my day is usually screwed up because she's always late anywhere from one to two hours. It drives me nutz! I try to avoid going as much as possible

I'm getting ready to leave for the local Red Cross to give a blood donation.

I should not have any problems with waiting. I have in the past but not at this center as they are never busy despite only being open one day a week.

Regarding today's Peeve - I'm very fortunate not to have wait time when going to see my doctor. She is always within 10 minutes and I never feel rushed.

I like early appointments but it seems that there's always an issue with the time. It's best to get an appointment done and out of the way so the rest of the day is your own.

One appointment tying up your day. I had the other week the furnace guy scheduled and they told me they would come between 8 am and noon he came at 1 pm.Well my day was literally split. If I make appointments to go somewhere I always try to book the 1. one in the morning. But yes we do loose time Jezer a good peeve. Have a great weekend and lovely photos as always

I'm lucky when it comes to medical appointments. I usually request a early morning one and my PCP and any specialists I might need to see are pretty darn prompt.

Now Jesse, the yard guy, not so much.
