Review: EPM Angela: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times

Yea just to make something clear, this wasn't a situation that would have been better if I shut my ringer off. I can only speak for the school my kid is at but if your kid is sick and they tell you to get them you are obligated to come and are told that at enrollment. If I didn't answer, they would have kept calling my SO - who was at work and whose ringer was on (but she ignored the calls because she was in an important meeting). Eventually though, when the nurse calls 87 times she will pick up. And then? She will go crazy, that I'm supposed to home, yet am not answering my phone when there is an "emergency". The situation would have been much worse if I didn't answer, so thank god I did.

I only wish they never called my SO. That is why I asked the nurse (smart on my part, I must say). Because if not she wouldn't have found out until that night after everything was fine. Unfortunately they did call her though first before they called me. When I spoke with the nurse (and while I can't guarantee this. I said it hoping she would do as I asked) I instructed her that I should be the first point of contact, not my SO who is working at a company and gets in "trouble" for personal calls (all bullshit but again I'm attempting to manipulate her into doing what I ask in the future). Always trying to close loose ends, the problem is, it's impossible to close them all if you have SO and family. Always wild cards. But, I do my best to minimize them, hopefully that helps me if there is a next time.

Ye gods, I's stressing out just reading this, J_H! I'm glad it worked out, but I think you would have had a less anxious session clinching an explosive bowel movement the entire time.
Hahahah. Yea it sucked big time. Luckily it ended up ok in the end.

Tomorrow I got a TM with a favorite of mine. So... the week should end on a good note. All I wanna do is relax after the roller coaster of the last few days.

Hope you all have a stellar weekend.

Jim,
That was the best review ever. I am about an hour from EPM so once I am there I am committed. You made the right call, your kid was fine and you had a reasonably good time. I have two kids (one out of the house, one in high school) and I would have called bullshit on them if they called from the nurse.

Thanks so much. Yea I did salvage it but I still felt like I missed out on what could have been.

Since I hate that, I booked with Angela this morning. Just got back LMAO. Damn amazing time, way better than the first in almost all ways. She even remembered the phone call I had, using translator app saying "Last time you have phone call... bad". She didn't know how right she was. But this time, no call. Just sparks and dynamite and one of the best sessions in a long time. Her English isn't great but sounds like she will be here another week then she's leaving.

Glad I was able to make things right and see her again without a 1000 lb gorilla on my chest. She's a really fun girl to spend some time with.

Have a great weekend gents.
