Title: My center has a 2 hour delay today!~
Post by: karen547 on November 30, 2009, 11:02:40 AM
Something big must have happened because my center called and told me they were on a 2 hour delay today!
I am not supposed to go in until I am called in

  It may not be anything for you to worry about.  Sometimes they have problems with the technical side of the machines.  Maybe a water leak or electrical problem.  Sometimes it might be a problem with staffing, too many called in sick and they had to (at last minute) call someone in to fill in. 
   Hopefully all was well when you arrived and someone explained the problem to you. 
    Also, hope you weren't too inconvenienced by the delay of your start time.

karen at least they called you and you didn't have to wait for 2 hrs at the center!!  Those things happen.  Any type of problem can put them behind.

Totally.. my center never called and told me when they were running late (always) - I would wait in the waiting room anywhere from 2 - 4 hours at least once a week.

yeah they were nice enough to call! I did end up getting a major headache afterwards though! The delay was due to the city water supply having issues. I did have a kind of poor me day, but hopefully tomorrow will be better!
