Heya guys….
I think I gave y'all the wrong impression with the last entry. I was in a weird mood, as that day usually does to me.
Fact is things between RR and I are not all that bad. A couple of you kindly wrote out of concern, and I thank you. I guess my lust for the dramatic overwhelmed me a bit.
You see, if life with RR was as bad as I actually made it out to be, I would have left a long time ago. Instead of that, I am still here. Still here because I want to and because RR also wants me to be here. Those who know me well will acknowledge that I have a healthy pessimism attached to my persona. I think of it as healthy, a kind of "Hope for the best, but expect the worst" attitude. I don't think that's so bad. It assists in realism and tends to keep me focused. So, for that I'll make no apology.
Hope I've made myself abundantly clear on that matter. If not, feel free to apply for a clarification.
Today was odd. People came out of the freaking woodwork and felt compelled to come to my workplace. Not that I mind that, because I'm certainly not afraid of hard work, I just dislike it when there are only two of us and fifty-three of them. I was supposed to have a very short, cruise day on a mobile that was supposed to end at noon. I was looking forward to playing hooky and walking around CompUSA and lusting after things that I couldn't possibly afford. But NOOOO!!! I had to be NICE!
Here's the scoop. It's another "wolf-woman" story, so brace yourselves…
My friend called me yesterday, and asked if I would consider working switch assignments. I said "sure," without hesitation, cuz that's just the kind of guy that I am. She said that she had a doctor's appointment this afternoon and she had to switch to make it. That's when the story started to unfold. Seems the poor girl has conjunctivitis, (aka pinkeye) a HIGHLY contagious disease. She called our cuddly boss and said that the only appointment she could get was today at 2. There was a small growl, and she howled back "You need to make your doctor's appointments on your days off." Rather than help her, WW informed her that she should find someone (Maui) to switch with.
I told her that I would have said "fuck off…I'm calling in SICK! Cope with it!!!!"
What a happy dysfunctional place I work in….. Now, I'm off to Kona for a couple of days. Catch u on Saturday, if I survive.
