Three things I didn't particularly want to hear at the dentist (yet heard all of yesterday!):

1. "Oh, it looks like it's raining much harder now."
(Rain is great! But my car spends 99% of its time in our garage because the roof leaks, so I was really hoping I'd get lucky and not have heavy rain while I was spending an hour getting my teeth fixed.)

2. "The generator will kick on... any minute now."
(POWER OUTAGE AT THE DENTIST??? A brand new thing I didn't even think to worry about, but yes, it happened! The lights went out, they came back, they went out, they stayed out, the dentist and the assistant looked at each other... I'm pleased to say that the generator DID kick on, after a nerve-wracking wait that felt very long to me, but was probably not more than thirty seconds.)

3. "We're having some trouble getting into our billing program."
(As one might guess, having the power go out a couple times caused some computer issues. They had to use the Backup Computer to get the job done, but I was able to pay my bill and head out. And it wasn't even raining by then! It started up again almost immediately, but every small victory can be celebrated.)
