That's a very entertaining story, esp. the part about the Gaddafi dude buying 100 t-shirts.  Sory it was entertainment at your expense.  If it makes you feel any better, yesterday I had 2 dr. appts. in the morning, at 9 and 11am, and planned to be back at work that afternoon.  I didn't even get in to see dr. #1 until 11:30, and the appointment consisted of a 5 minute explanation of why he needed to send me to a different doctor.  While waiting to see dr. #1, I had to reschedule dr. appt. #2, and they had no opening for 3 hours, which meant I'd have to go into work, and turn around an leave after one hour, which is a bit silly, so I had to take the whole day off in order to make dr. #2.  I got to dr. #2, who was supposed to be giving me some contraption and teaching me how to use it, and it turns out he was fresh out of said contraption, apologizing profusely for the inconvenience, let's reschedule for Friday...  So, basically I used up a day of sick time for nothing!  Grrrrr.
