the dentist's receptionist

sounds like a movie on sbs doesn't it?  my tooth broke the other night.  it was a back tooth that the dentist did a root canal on last year.  cost megabucks and wasn't much fun.  i was eating a pie.  please don't judge me.  lol.   the crust must have been too crispy but my nephew broke his on chewing gum so you have to wonder.  it wasn't sore just ached a little bit but was cutting my tongue to pieces.  very sharp.  so, i rang the dentist next morning hoping that he could extract it.  he's ok, i don't mind him.  he doesn't give me options usually which really annoys me.  he is my sister's dentist too and as she has been a dental nurse and speaks the lingo he always goes into great detail about her options.  anyhoo, as i said he's ok.  his receptionist on the other hand is a bitch.  she is rude and obnoxious.  after assertaining that i needed to see the dentist after ten minutes of cross examination i finally got my appointment.  she stressed that he's much too busy to do anything about it just make it more comfortable and i would have to make a further appointment in a few months when he is free.  ok.  i was relieved and a little bit surprised that all he did was file it down, a most unpleasant but speedy procedure, and tell me i don't need any follow up.  i'm overdue for a checkup of course.  so after all that i was only half an hour late for work.  it's fine now.  most comfortable.  :)  i rang about six dentists after i made the appointment hoping that someone else could see me but they were all busy.  i must change dentists soon but it's not as easy as you'd think and i have to wonder that as i only see him a few times a year is it worth it?  should i just suck it up and keep going to him?  i don't know what to do, so, for the moment, will do nothing.  :)  

i'd love to see the northern lights one day.
