Shirley is one of my favorite patients, but she is never on time!
The other day she had a 4:30 pm appointment scheduled. At 4:40 pm she called and asked if I was running on time (I was). But, she didn’t arrive until 5:00!
“Shirley, is everything alright?” I asked as she was whisked into the treatment room.
“I was at the post office buying stamps.” she said. “Now Shirley,” I said, “today is April 15th, tax day. It’s perhaps the single busiest day of the year for the U.S. Postal Service. Just out of curiosity, what time did you get to the post office?”
“4:15,” she replied.
As I sighed, she confessed, “ I have an issue with time management.”
