Bad Day
WARNING:::::RANT::::WARNING:::RANT
Most awful. The day started out so well too! Well, not magnificent or anything, but I had high hopes. My keys were where I had left them, I was out of the door on time, traffic wasn’t bad at all and there was a pleasant crispness to the air. I was in good spirits. Then work just pooped on me. Within the first hour my boss and my co-worker called in. I sigh but it really doesn’t bother me. At 9 another co-worker (who’s SUPPOSED to be there at 8:30) calls and says her kids are sick and she’s bringing them with her. Oh Great!! I think. Our office is small enough; let’s just add two small kids running around. And that’s EXACTLY what happens. I turn around and am constantly tripping, I can’t get to the charts, I have marker on my arms. BUT…I count to ten…granted MANY MANY times, but still. I keep my cool. They finally go see the doctor and at 11:15….more than an hour later they come back. They both have strep. *BLINKS* the two kids that were just all up in the front office. *rolls eyes* the mom (my co-worker) is SUDDENLY feeling sick herself. She drank after one of her daughters on the way to work. So they go home. In all of this we have another girl who is gone on vacation that was planned so I’m doing her job whenever I get a free moment. However when someone has a question concerning that they come to me. Even if I DON’T have time. Lunch time comes and I run out to my car. I need to get gas and a bottle of water. I reach to swipe my card and it’s declined. The machine is OBVIOUSLY broken!! I just got paid yesterday! I tell the attendant and she says “No, it’s working. You just obviously don’t have any money.” My face turns bright red and I quickly leave. I go to my bank and they’ve glitched and put my whole check in my savings instead of my checking. FANTASTIC!! I reluctantly go back to work and my sister comes in because she isn’t feeling well. Blood is drawn, tears are shed, and arguments are had then she leaves. I’m counting to a 100 now by the way. The girl who is working with me today is late coming back from lunch. The person who is SUPPOSED to stay late leaves with a migraine. OKAY THIS JUST FREAKING SUCKS!!! Everyone who is supposed to stay past 3:30 has left!! Who gets to stay until 5 after having gone into work at 7? YEAH, that’d be me!! When I’m told this….a woman decides to argue with me about her insurance. Normally I don’t like confrontation and I will run to get the office manager. However, I was just in the mood and I got right next to the glass window. If you have a PROBLEM with ME I’d be MORE THAN happy to introduce you to my manager, but these are THE DOCTOR’S RULES, NOT mine lady. She grumbled and sat down and shot me death glares from the seats. I gave her nasty looks right back. So 3:30 rolls around and everyone leaves. The ONE person who is supposed to stay late and answer the phones is over in the other office having some type of nervous breakdown. She’s crying UNCONTROLLABLY!! You’ve got to be kidding me!!! I don’t even ask her what’s wrong. I just turned around and walked away.
Being by myself really helped calm me down though. I bounced my ball and practiced controlled breathing. My muscles in my neck and shoulders are incredibly tensed though. Writing is therapeutic too right? Besides, it could be worse…it could always be worse. Doesn’t stop me from complaining though. Thankfully it’s over with.

OK! You didn't tell me EVERYTHING that happened, apparently because I didn't know about the whole issue with your sister or with the girl having a breakdown. Good grief! That is just the sort of ridiculous day you had. As for the Store you went to, I want you to take me there when I'm in town. I cannot BELIEVE the nerve of that woman to say that you 'obviously didn't have the money' that is totally unprofessional. It doesn't occur to her that it may be insulting. You point her out. I'm serious. Point her out. Report her bitchass. RUDE RUDE RUDE!
