When not to go in for radiation

annathepiperYesterday when I went in for zappy, there was a bit of oddness: the usual finagling of placing me just right on the couch and such took longer and had a false start. Tech Ashley told me that the couch setting was supposed to be 185, only the system kept waffling between 186 and 184.(random number), presumably until she whacked it in the head and got it stabilized. They were still able to successfully zap me last night.
Which is an interesting thing to remember in conjunction with how Tech Chris called my cell this afternoon with the news that their machines were on the fritz, and they were contacting all the people who had afternoon appointments lined up. He wanted to touch bases with me especially, he said, because he knew I took the bus to get over there and didn't want me to take the bus all the way there for nothing.
"Okay," I said, since it was around 3pm by then and I've been leaving work around 10 to 4, "is there an ETA on when they'll be back online?"
No, said Tech Chris. It could be two minutes, it could be hours.
"Okay," I said, "let's just cancel tonight and I'll see you all tomorrow evening."
Because, yeah, if the machines which are shooting radiation at me are broken, I'll stand way over here until you guys get those fixed. Yep. Way, way over here.
