Rant of the day!

Feel free to add you own Rant of the Day!

The gremlins formula is prescription only and I pick it up monthly from the pharmacy (at $160 a month). I usually go in a day or two beforehand and get them to order it in.

I went in last Saturday (as in 10 days ago) and asked him to order it so I could pick it up at the end of the week. Well, I didn't get there at the end of the week, I went in yesterday to get it and he hadn't even ordered it.

GRRRRRR! It's not like it's a medicine that they can miss one dose of and be OK - it's their sole source of nutrition. So I went off the deep end, and rang my doctor who then rang the pharmacy. Luckily I had a spare tin in the boot of the car for emergencies, but I didn't tell the pharmacist that. He had some lame excuse that it was out of stock with the supplier (even tho I spoke to the supplier earlier in the week about something different) - don't insult my intelligence!

So they rang this morning to say they have the formula in and are going to deliver it to me coz they are sorry for the inconvenience. I told them not to bother, which is silly coz I really should make them deliver it, but I'm sulking so I don't want them doing me any favours.

Rant ended. Congratulations if you're still awake. And as I said, feel free to add your own rant - there's something about other peoples misfortunes that put your own into perspective!

That just sucks! I hope you let them have it.
Tyrell has Lactose free formula and not 1 out of the 5 supermarkets I went to stocked it....I rang and we can now buy direct and save $10 per tin!

Emma that really does suck. YOu would think after 6 months the chemist would know you and know that you need it when you say you need it. I might add something today if my mum's flight is delayed from Oz.

That sux Emma! Its bad anough when you run out and have to dash up to the supermarket to get a tin

Well my rant (not a very exciting one) is that my lovely mother made my blankies for Ashleigh out of nice polarfleece and stitched some tags on (taggy blankie for anyone that has heard of them!!) and posted them on Thursday. Still haven't got them. Its now Tuesday. They should be here by now. Grrrrrr they better not be lost!!!! They are only coming from Auckland to Cambridge so surely it shouldn't take this long although I guess any mail would go through Hamilton first. Ah well hopefully they will be here tomorrow or my poor mum has wasted her time

I hadn't thought of Pharmacy Direct. I've had problems with this pharmacy before but I keep going there coz they are close and the parking means I can leave the girls in the car and just run in coz I can still see the car.
I might check out Pharmacy Direct. But coz it's a restricted product and you have to have a HFA# to get it it's a bit tricky.

ah bugger...mum did same a few weeks back - get this flights to LA / USA were $499 return...but only one seat per flight and no guarantee we could get bubs on....so missed out! UGH!

OK have a rant now...yep took half a day but...I filed bubs registration with BDM...then got letter (YES THEY wrote telling me to reg her!!!) to say i hadnt - thought the forms and the letter had crossed in mail so left til today to phone BDM as no birth cert has arrived. Well got told by woman on phone that she wasnt registered...HUH? oh no they have found it now...oh ok! But no birth cert - their response (and i got distinct impression this is standard and most people beleive them?) was oh your credit card was declined. WELL i know i have $2000 on that card...and told her so, told her i had been in my accounts on line today and nothing showed of them trying and did i need to contact my bank as sure they would show BDM never tried...welllllllll turn around and suddenly the eftpos at BDM might have been down or something? what the????

so she would do it now...no need for form etc she had all the details...THEN proceeded to ask my name, bubs name, her DOB, my address, my credit card...ummmm dont you have these i asked? apparently NO!!!! they never dealt with it so are restarting my request...

can you say DUMB Ar#E.....some people...man i was ropeable by time i got off...have vented at DH and then thought of Emmas thread....LOL!

oh yeah shall i count the 24 hours she says it will take to get to me....yeah right!!!

Well my rant has an almost funny ending. I went to pick the formula up (and they only had half of it, but that's another story) and they gave me a box of chocolates to say sorry for the inconvenience. I hear you all thinking "what a lovely gesture" BUT - I started Weight Watchers yesterday

It could only happen to me!

And LMAO at BDM Bombshell, when I applied for Maya's passport they trimmed the photo and in the process trimmed the top half of the ID sticker off then sent it back and reckoned that the witness had only put Te Irirangi Marama Davis and missed out her first two names. How could that even possibly happen? My witness was her godmother who was there at the birth - I think she remembers Maya's first name! I threw an Emma-size tanty (I have a habit of that ) and the passport arrived the following day.

Emma - that sucks!! Stupid people in shops saying silly rubbish to justify their mistakes always irks me! Yay for the chocs tho! Hope you have more willpower than I tho, if that had've been me they would've been eaten already and I would have had to hide the box in the bottom of the bin so Andy didn't ask about them!

Maria - That is sooooo frustrating! I do things like that all the time, I am one of these people who has to go away and think for a while before making a decision and have lost many fab oppourtunities cause of it!

And bonbshell - BDM are crap (am I allowed to use such words here). We had heaps of probs sorting out Quinns birthcert too. And it annoys me that they print the address on the back of the cert to avoid the effort involoved in printing it on the envelope?

Emma... I sooo need some lessons in tanty throwing. I have a feeling you could come in useful when I have gripes with WINZ etc.

ok so plunket just copped it....unbeleivable - rang the number and got told that it wasnt it and got number to call office BUT before i did the woman told me that they were very busy and i wasnt probably a priority and others were probably waiting longer - oh and my MW might have got contact details wrong cause people move and number change - OMG yeah right in six weeks!!! and this chick didnt even have form etc....!!!

so rang office and got told they were busy and had lots of people waiting and what was DOB...told her and she was trying to work out the age...so told her six weeks!!! dumb #@%@.....then she told me the form - oh look its here - they have it...have not actioned it cause there are a lot of people wanting them, despite a plunket nurse going up my street i told her...ummm apparently yeah some people have more urgent needs...HOW THE *$@% would she know???

BUT GET THIS - she will action it now and get someone to call me cause "now you have rung in so i will do it now"...SOOOO if i hadnt had rung it would still be sitting there....OMG!!!!

I feel surrounded by these idiots!!! i hate dealing with them!!!
