It is now 0715. The relative peace and quiet of the waiting room has been invaded by three cackling females. They are really quite annoying, having “announced” their arrival by entering the room talking very loudly, laughing at every little thing, then sitting across the room from us while talking to each other as though they are sitting across the room from each other, instead of next to each other. There is one guy with them, but he’s quietly on his own computer, sitting a little apart from them as though he doesn’t want it known he’s with them. Poor guy. The “girls” (looks like an older mother with two 30-something daughters) conversation consists of the popular gossip from the cheap magazines and the low-life shows on tv. I think it will be good when their caffeine high wears off. If I don’t have that hope, then I’m going to start getting too irritated by them.
There were a few people in here who must have spent the night, as they were asleep in the chairs when Alex and I came in. We’ve been very quiet all this time, respecting that they are worried about someone in the OR. The Cackling Trio comes in, with no regard that people don’t want to hear their yapping, and the Sleepy People have gotten up and gone. Except for one young lady who was very sound asleep; she’s now awake. I think the Sleepy People have had a very stressful, restless night.
I understand when people like to laugh or talk, etc, but it’s so much more polite to at least make a pretense of keeping it among yourselves. I have no patience for ignorant people. Especially when they act like they own the place.
Nice…they’ve been quiet for a minute. Oh….never mind. Quiet shattered.
Oh no…..now one of the “girls” has decided to read the paper aloud to the other Cacklers.
Til later……
