the_rckThe cab to get us to the appointment failed to show up. When I finally got through, forty-five minutes after our scheduled pick up time, they said they still hadn't dispatched a cab and didn't know when they'd be able to. I ended up sending Cordelia back to class. We'll have to eat the $60 missed appointment fee. I'm pissed as hell, but I don't see what I can do. I'm stuck with this company because they're the ones contracted to do the A-Ride. My only recourse would be either to spend three times as much on a real cab or to try to take the city bus (which would require leaving earlier and a good bit of walking and crossing of busy streets without a light and generally terrify the hell out of me).
The cab company says the problem is the weather, that when it's snowing they can't be on time. I pointed out that this is Michigan in January. There will be snow. That's inevitable. The whole point, for me, of scheduling the trip days in advance is that the cab should show up on time. Why else do they need so much advance notice?
The social worker offered to reschedule for tomorrow, but I can't justify pulling Cordelia out of school again this week. It's a big deal. Plus, if it's still snowing, who knows if the cab would come then?
