Chaotic Coffee Klatch (tea also available)

My whole fucking day seems to be going like this:

Patient: I have a question/don't understand x
Me: asks one or two clarifying questions to make sure I understand what they are asking
Patient: basically repeats themselves and then goes on a 3 minute bird walk completely unrelated to original question
Me: careful explanation/teaching/clarifying re original topic.
Patient: no one ever explained that to me before (exasperated tone)
Me: makes sympathetic noises and says, right...that's why I just explained that to you.
Patient: barely thanks me/hangs up/ or unhappy noises.

seriously people...I am TRYING to help.

*hugs* just think, there's a reason why you're the one helping and they're the ones needing help
