Sick Note Frustration

I've been trying half an hour to get through to my GP surgery to get an appointment so I can get a sick note. The appointment system is such that the phone lines open at 8.30 and you keep ringing till you get through. Which today has taken half an hour of ringing literally every minute or two. Only to find that when I do get through, the only appointments left are emergency ones. Getting a sick note today is not quite an emergency.

So I have to go through the same rigmarole tomorrow with added fervour that I get through and get an appointment. Then backdating the sick note is at the Doctors discretion. Bloody annoying.
