AND THE BEAT GOES ON
So, the upper, left , broken molar still resides in my mouth despite the visit to the oral dentist yesterday. It seems the appointment was for "Consultation". If would have been nice if somebody had told me that. Here I am all prepared to under go the appropriate pain and get this sucker out. But no, just a chance for them to find out if I had insurance, enough money to pay for it, or (C) at least an honest face. A face with strategically placed wisdom creases slowly turning a lovely shade of red because of all the diddling around. The surgeon took one look at the x-rays and then one of the tooth and complained that they always sent him the tough ones. Of course my smart-a comment was "Well that's why they pay you the big bucks"! After all you are the specialist, Jack! I mean, it's your job. Duh!
Probably not a cool comment to make and I don't think he took it too well. Sorta like making the executioner mad just before he starts the deadly drip or pulls the switch to start the juices flowing. He's liable to come back with....OK, lets see how we can draw this baby out just to make it more painful. Didn't think about that angle before I said it. Standard behavior for me. Think after the foot has been appropriately placed in the mouth. My motto it seems. Of course they didn't have an appointment till the 17th of April. Good thing this thing is not hurting. $240 into this thing and still no extraction.
Is it just me or can't you find good help these days. I guess, why else would a rant and rave site like "Angie's List" be so popular.
Dear Angie,
I had lunch at this fast food place yesterday and here is my story. Waited in line to get to the ordering machine. You know where the speaker is feet away from the menu sign which in turn is just feet away from being in focus of 20/20 vision. The tin speaker cover which is strategically placed in the mouth of a clown or some other icon, covered with spit from other satisfied customers. Some sound comes out of the thing that sounds like a cross between amplifier feed back and the overbearing sound of a 747 overhead on a landing approach. Then a strange voice says "Como se como" or "No habla English". The voice also sounds like it is coming from a person deathly afraid that this job will somehow negatively impact their participation in the food stamp program or some other Nanny state, feel good, give away.
Just like going to the dentist. We actually pay somebody to give all this pain. Well, we also pay somebody to push a cold precooked burger and soggy fries into our face without even a smiling adios or get the ____ out MF. ! It's the dumbing down of the American shopper. Think we all have to make some better choices. I know I do.
I would be remiss in not capping this rant off with some crass commercialism. Fine Art America is one of the finest firms I have found in my 25 years in the photography business. As you know I sell my images almost exclusively with them And, there is are a few reasons I do that. The treatment of the collector/customer/buyer fits my own outlook with regard to customer service. These are the bullets and you can count on them if you are in the market for fine art prints.
. The printing is outstanding
. 30 day money back guarantee
. More than competitive pricing
. A huge number of artists to look at in one place
. Simple retail satisfaction and customer care
Do me a favor. If you have any interest at all in purchasing some wall art, go to my website and look around. Play with the options of type of print....paper,metal, or canvas.
You'll find it fun and it doesn't cost a cent. Look around at other artists. You'll find it a whole more fun that sitting in some dentist's office looking at three month old "People" magazines."
