END DAY END!

 

  • I don’t think this antibiotic is doing anything for my infected throat.  I feel worse today than when I started taking it.  My throat is also noticibly swollen today.  Bah…and now my ears hurt.  I have a call into the doc.  Hoping he can see me this afternoon.
  • Went down and got into the car with Brian this morning for my ride into work.  Climbed in and the frikken thing is a frikken mess!!!  I immediately started screaming.  "BRIAN!!  I frikken told you not to treat the frikken car like a frikken roving trash can!!!  Look at this frikken thing!!!!!!!!  Ashes all over the steering column, backseat, side doors….you frikken frick spilled something or other all the frikken frick down into the electric window opening buttons and cup holders and now they stick and are all sticky.  There’s frikken food crumbs all over the frikken place.  Grease stains all the frikken frick over the carpets and drivers door.  Dirty socks in the back seat, coats in the back seat and never mind the frikken trunk which is chock full of shit!!!"  He says, "I didn’t see that…I’ll clean it."  Me: "You bet your frikken ass you will…and if this keeps up I told you before, you’ll be walking your frikken messy ass to work and back!!!!"  Brian: "*cough cough*

    Me: "GAH!!!!!"  See, one thing you need to know about me.  I absolutely cannot stand when things are messy in my surroundings when I am sick.  I don’t know what it is but it makes me crazy.  I frikken especially can’t stand when he treats the car like a roving trash can.  He ruins the interiors.  I told him before he even started to drive to his new job, "Brian, I swear to goodness, if you start trashing the interior of the new car I won’t let you drive it anymore.  I’m not paying another 4-years on a car with a trashed interior and I want some resale value on it for when we eventually trade it in."  Brian, "Okay honey…I will be careful."  I get so embarrassed on the rare occasions when I offer someone a ride and the frikken car is a mess.

    How many times can I say frikken in one entry?  We’ll see because I am FAR from done.

  • Get to work and as soon as I get in the door Attorney #2’s phone is ringing.  One of his incarcerated client’s girlfriends is on the phone again.  For the 6th time since yesterday afternoon.  I had told her already 6 times that Attorney #2 wasn’t in and wouldn’t be in for another hour or so.  She asks for Attorney #2 again.  Again I tell her he’s not there.  So she asks me to hold and before I can tell her I can’t hold because I am responsible for answering 10 lines, 2 of which are ringing…she slips me on hold.  So I hang up.  She calls back and immediately starts yelling at me for hanging up on her.  I calmly try to explain to her she didn’t give me a chance to tell her I couldn’t hold.  She calls me a bitch and hangs up.  Then she calls back and she now has incarcerated client on the phone and they are both yelling and cursing at me.  I am heated up from earlier with Brian any way, feeling like total dogshit, and now a migraine is starting…so I just let loose!!  I yell, "Listen!!!  I’ve told you 6 times already that Attorney #2 isn’t in!!  I told you 6 times already that as soon as he does get in I will make sure he calls you.  I’m not sitting here and taking anymore crap from you.  GOOD DAY!!" and I hung up. 

    This happens all the frikken time with Attorney #2’s clients.  He’s a court appointed attorney so his cases are paid for by the state.  He has a terrible habit of never returning client’s phone calls and they take it out on me.

    So Attorney #2 comes in and I tell him, "Listen, I’m not here to be verbally abused by your client’s anymore.  I told him about the conversation above and said, "I hung up on them.  I’m not paid enough to sit there and take abuse from them."  He said, "Neither am I."  To which I replied, "But these are YOUR client’s, NOT mine and you need to start returning their phone calls because when you don’t they call and scream at me.  If this keeps happening I swear to goodness I will tell Attorney #1 I do NOT want to work for you anymore.  I’m frikken done with all this stress."  Good day sir to you too, I SAID GOOD DAY!

  • So as you can see I am in no mood for anyone’s horseshit today.  And that is THAT!
  • A lady that looked like a man struck up a conversation with me on the bus yesterday.  Oh yes she did.  the woman who was sitting next to me gets up and as soon as she does shemale comes over and sits practically on top of me.  I look at her and she leans over and right in my face she says, "Hi.  I’ve had a rough day.  I think I’m going to have a couple drinks after work.  I hope I don’t get PC’d again!"  I say, "PC’d?" She says, "Yeah.  PC, you know, protective custody?  That happened last time and I got arrested and held in PC for hitting a city worker.  Do you know it’s a felony to hit a city worker?"  I reply, "Uhm, yeah, it is."  She says, "That’s bullshit.  You know?  I don’t think it should be a felony the first time, I think it should be a misdemeanor until you do it again."  I’m like, "yeah…uhm, okay."  She says, "I’m addicted to ritalin.  I just scored a bunch of pills at the Square One Mall for $5.00.  The kid that sold them to me has a prescription for them.  I had ADD when I was a kid.  He wanted $15.00 for them but I talked him down to $5.00.  Isn’t that great?"  Me: "Uhm, well…yeah, sure.  Great."  She says, "What are you doing?  Just walking around?  I’m calling my doctor, maybe he will diagnose me with adult ADD and I can get my own prescription for ritalin.  Think so?"  Me:  "I don’t know…"  She says, "Are you just walking around?"  Me: "No, I’m just getting off work."  She says, "Oh, yeah?  What do you do?"  Me: "I’m a paralegal."  Her: "Oh, yeah, good, good.  I’m an EMT.  Can you believe it?  They don’t drug test me or anything.  For 2 years they haven’t.  They never checked my CORI either…I’m working all weekend too.  At the gay pride parade.  That’s why I am wearing this bandana," asshe points to the rainbow bandana on her head.  I’m thinking, "Niiice.  Great.  An EMT addicted to ritalin who is going out to booze it up tonight and then go to work in the morning.  Great.  Please don’t respond to any of my calls.  That’s ALL I need."  She says as she leans up against me again and gets right in my face, "Hey!  Want to go have some drinks with me?"  I said, "Uhm, no.  I can’t.  Thanks, but no.  I’m not feeling well and am on antibiotics."  She says, "Oh.  Well, where do you live?"  I say, "Ohhh, well, uhm, I am not going right home.  I have to go to my friends house and drop something off for her."  All I kept thinking was, "Great!  Now I am going to have some ritalin addicted criminal shemale following me home."  Thankfully she got off at the next stop.  Whew.  

    My freak magnet must have been in high gear yesterday.  You simply cannot make this shit up.  Incredible.

Glad to see that your chaos beacon is in fine working order. LOL!

i can’t handle messy things either. your meds should have kicked in 24 hours after the 1st dose. i HATE clients who call and call and call. it’s like “The more you frickin call here the less likely i am to give messages, return messages or do anything at all for you so good day!”

ryn: thanks for the concern. we’re working on the play nipping (i’ve heard it’s called affectionate but i don’t care for it at all) and she knows she has to be “Beneath” us at all times. she gets rowdy but if her head is higher than ours she gets “clicked” at and has to lie down or get back. 🙂 plus if we want her with kids she can’t do any jumping! hope you’re feeling better…

the love biting- i find it annoying- but maybe i’m making too big of a deal out of it- but i want to nip the “gnawing” on clothes- she’ll take my tee shirt arm and semi-gnaw it while i’m wearing it or something! it’s weird but i just say “nu-uh!” and she stops… she’s very attuned to our voices and when to stop or get down, at least…even if she’s stubborn in other areas like time to end a walk!

Have I ever told you how strong of a woman I think you are? You are so dedicated to your work, crappy clients at all, that you’re there no matter how bad you’re feeling. Even when you’re dealing with the bigger illnesses in your life. I admire you so much because I was never able to do that.

One good thing done today though is that I fixed your background. Need me to do anything else to it? 🙂 Can I have a picture of you? I wont put it online or anything, it’s for gregs scrapbook and I want him to know who gave him all those cute gifts! 🙂

Listen…..C is going through EMT school…She says that they are ALL effed up on drugs…pot heads, pill heads and the like…She said “you would not believe what they are letting into those EMT classes!” Isn’t that AWFUL?? Scares the hell outta me.

LOL! Don’t look at my Saturn then. The first 2 years I kept it spankin’ new.. then we had to start carting B’s sheetmetal work. AND he scratched the f**k out of it with a snow brush/scrapper!! He says some idoit at the Pistons game did it.. I don’t believe him. lol You need to write a small book..”My ride on the bus”. lol
