Chasing the Clock

Something that keeps me thinking is my own struggle, man!!! I just have to keep chasing the clock.
Every morning I keep a target of reaching the office at 7. And hence I set my alarm by doing backward calculations.

Some factors that I consider are -
- How much time I wanna snooze before finally getting up
- If I miss getting up on a desired time, what could be the latest time that I should get up
- How much can I compromise on my breakfast so that I can survive till lunch
- What is my lunch so that If I miss my breakfast, I can rely on my lunch
- Is my lunch spicy or is it ok to have direct lunch and no breakfast - will my system digest it without problems?
- If I have light breakfast at home and if I wanna have something from the Cafeteria then do I have time in the morning or do I have meetings?

Uff!! Just to meet the time of reaching the office at 7, I have to think so much Or rather, my mind does all this stupid thinking exercise!

Actually, you might feel this as exaggeration, but this is really not exaggeration. I really have to think all the factors which are related to my diet, my dearest tummy. My tummy can not stay empty. It has to be full always.

Even though I make all the calculations to get up on time, I still have missed my timeline many many times. I put an alarm of 4:55 am and then I snooze it till 5:50 or 6.10 am :)
Tell me frankly, can you beat that? I am sure you can not... :)

Anyway... have fun!!

An Experience

They ask you some questions (again & again)! They tell you to sign almost 6-7 times and they tell you to wait till your turn comes.

The papers will look like a big test paper which you have to pass to get admitted to some college. And because of the fear that you might fail, they don't want to take responsibility and hence they make you sign the agreements thrice. Huh! Too much...

Finally, they'll take you to a room and ask some questions for which you already answered on a test paper (Do they ever care to look at the paper?!?!?). You'll feel that you are being attended, but hold on - don't feel so, because they are not yet attending you but giving you an illusion. After saying some soft words to express that illusion, they will leave from that room and now you are left alone there for almost another 10 minutes.

The room will have all kinds of weapons and pictures on the wall (Really Natural pictures - anatomy, you know). You can actually feel the silence in the room and then you may start thinking weird things like - do they have hidden camera in the room and do they observe you/your activities before attending you? hmm.. I have no clue.. And finally the moment comes, when that one man enters the room. That's the doctor of American clinic.

After spending almost an hour in the entire pre-processing, the doctor comes and performs some kind of observation for five minutes and then writes the prescription for you where the game ends. Can you beat that? 50-60 minutes of pre-work, so called paper work and only 5 minutes of doctor's attention? hmm poor me :(

After taking the prescription when you go to a (an American) Medical store and ask for the medicine, they will also ask few questions regarding your insurance and all, then they'll take away your prescription and leave no choice to you by saying - 'Do you wanna wait for 25 minutes Or wanna come later?'
You have to leave then, what would you do time pass with in the big medical store? Though there is no much choice, I did some time pass and bought some energy bars :D

That's the experience worth sharing. I wish no one has to go to visit doctor in America, it's irritating because they are too unfair(Waiting time Vs Attention!!).
