Woe unto the girl who denies her instinct to walk through the freezing rain to her doctor’s appointment. And woe unto that same girl for dialing Beverly, Massachusetts’ alleged taxicab service Cab Express. I figured 30 minutes was enough lead time for a cab to pick me up and drive me the mile to my new doctor’s office. But no. No, that was not enough time for Cab Express. After three phonecalls, 40 minutes, and some over-caffeinated aggressive pacing, I finally threw in the towel, rescheduled my appointment, and cancelled the phantom cab. Had I walked, I would have made it with time to spare. But I chose to call Cab Express, so there’s nobody to blame but me.
Hell, at least I don’t have to go out in the rain.
