Greetings break room. I'm a relatively new TM still in my 90 day new hire period. I need to make an appointment with my doctor for an annual checkup. As the schedules are only posted a week in advance, I don't know how to schedule this appointment.
My doctor schedules about 3-4 weeks in advance. So, should I schedule the doctors appointment, hope it happens when I'm not working and if not, cancel the appointment and reschedule hoping that the planets align? Or schedule the appointment and indicate I'm unavailable for a few hours on that day?
Mind you, I have absolutely no idea how to indicate I'm unavailable as HR didn't/hasn't discussed this during training and they never seem to be available for questions. I also never seem to be scheduled when my TL is working and I am uncomfortable asking others TM's for their advice. I would put this off until after the 90 days period when I might feel better about blocking time periods, but my doctor requires an in office visit for a prescription refill which is tied to the annual checkup. Many thanks in advance for your advice.
