SCENARIO:
You’re at work. Lunch hour is coming up and you are going to run an errand during lunch hour. Today, it involves finally getting the time to have that blood test stuff done that your doctor prescribed 4 and a half weeks ago. 11:55am comes, you shut down your personal Facebook account early and you head on over to this particular lab to get the blood draw done. You get there and you see the sign in the pic above!!!!
C’mon! Does the WHOLE office really have to shut down at lunch time???
Do ya think they all go to McDonalds. Then they all come back, realize there are no customers so they decide to check their own LDL’s, HDL’s, HTML’s, EIEIO’s and LMNOP’s?
I think the person who decided Noon was a good time for all of the Quest phlebotomists to take lunch was probably unsuccessful at their previous consulting jobs:
Suggesting grocery stores to be closed on the weekends
Church closings on Sundays
And “POP ONLY” sales 4 hours before all NFL, NBA, MBL and NHL games.
Imagine if I would have actually wasted my 5 minute-vending-machine-stride-gum-lunch-break to get to this office..or worse, someone wasted their coveted SMOKE BREAK to get there!!!!
Hey, Quest-phlebotomers, Dr. Lou Stool (my G.I. doctor) said I eat too much fast food and ordered me to get my blood tested. You’re closed before work. You’re closed AFTER work and you’re closed during our lunch break.
Here’s what I have determined out of all of this… you lab people have lunch with bank tellers and postal employees every day. I know this cuz, when I’ve had other errands to run at lunch… get some stamps, cash a check I received as a gift… GUESS WHO ELSE IS AT LUNCH DURING MY LUNCH HOUR??
As a heads up, I’m getting a job at your favorite office-delivery pizza place. And every time you call in for a lunchtime delivery, I’m gonna simply say, “Thanks for your order. I’ll just drop those pizzas off when it’s convenient for me.. about 2am on my way home from work,” Ya Jagoffs!
You should find a good vampire! They never shut down for lunch especially when you are the lunch!
LOL…. I think that might make a good movie… We’re not Jagoffs, We’re Vampires!
This works well for them if you’re the only blood lab in town
Yep… or at least the one that all the jerk doctors refer you to within their “network.”
