Dr.’s Waiting Room

Clinic waiting room with tote bag, case files, and spray can on floor

I was back at the doctor’s office again; it was a different doctor at a different location for another reason. I must have arrived for the appointment early. It was unfortunate that I was not seen early because those who had their appointments at the appointed time showed up; so, I had to wait until the time I was slotted to be seen.

The wait was over an hour, thank heavens the doctor’s office put in a guest WIFI, I had my cell phone and my headphones that would keep me busy surfing the internet while I wait my turn to be seen.

Listening to a podcast I noticed that more patients were coming into the waiting room. The room was becoming quite busy, so much that the seating arrangements changed.

To top that off I saw some folders of case information that I took home to work on for the weekend overtime. The folder fell off my lap onto the floor. When I leaned over to pick up the folders, I saw the can of Right Guard deodorant roll in front of me.

Deodorant? Well, that was unexpected. While I picked up the folders, I picked up the deodorant and put it in my left pants pocket.  I could feel the cold aluminum can on my thigh.

Then I heard my name being called. This jolted me and I found that I did not have any work folders with me, nor did I have the can of deodorant in my hand.

Wow, I was in the dream space and I didn’t even know it.
