Anytime between 10 and noon?
Making a doctor's appointment on the phone this morning:
Scheduler: (after collecting the pertinent information) Ok, and is there a day that works best for you?
Me: Well, I'll be on vacation the entire week of July 28th so I could do any of those days.
Scheduler: Excellent, and is there a time of day that works better?
Me: Anytime between 10am and noon would be great.
Scheduler: Ok, Great! Let's see... I have an 8:20am appointment available, would that work for you?
Me: Anytime between 10am and noon?
Scheduler: Oh, right. You did say that. I'm sorry! Ok then... how about 9am on the 29th?
Me (forcing cheerfulness): Anytime between 10am and noon?
Scheduler: Oh. Well... umm.... OH! I have a 10am appointment available! Will that work?
Me: Yes, that'd be great. Thanks.
She was cheery and polite and all, but definitely having a space cadet moment.
