I have failed to get boosted

About 2 weeks ago I booked a bivalent COVID booster and flu shot for 6:30 pm Saturday (today) at Walgreens. Because it's not possible to schedule a bivalent booster through the department of health website (the way I did all my other ones) for some fucking reason.

I was very glad the Saturday evening time was available, because it let me go in right at the end of my work week and have 2 full days off to recover. I tend to have strong reactions to vaccines, including fever in the case of the COVID vax.

Got to Walmart tonight and was told there was no appointment for me. Apparently I managed to screw up the process of scheduling online.

I did try not to be a dick about it, but I doubt I succeeded. Sorry, Walgreens person.

I've rebooked for next Saturday, correctly this time and with the confirmation number to prove it, but I'm annoyed with Walgreens (for not being clearer that you should receive a confirmation #), the department of health, and myself. At the end of a kind of a rough week at work, too.

*grumblegrumblegrumble* If I'd had my wits about me, I'd have suggested that the next person this evening who turned up for a COVID booster without a mask on should forfeit their slot to me.

Boooooo! I'm sorry that didn't work out and I hope it all falls into place next week.

Oh, damn - that's frustrating. :(
