Just as the title says, today was horrendous at work. WOW. And me without my emergency stash of happy pills. What a frggin' nightmare. I have been "chosen" to train a manager. If you want to be in management in my company, you have to work in every department and learn everything about that department. Great concept, but I have a routine people. I find it very distracting to stop and tell/show this guy everything I'm doing and still get all my work done in the time allotted. Its impossible actually. I am a bookkeeper in a very busy store and all I can think about while I'm doing all this splanin' is how much more work I need to get done before I depart for the day and I have this shadow lurking over my shoulder watching my every move. Have I mentioned that my office is kind of on the small side and this trainee has the worst breath I have EVER encountered? I worked with him a few years ago, and when he came into my office I would find something to do on the other side of the room until he left. Come on~He has since married and had a child and you think his bride would do something about this issue. For chrissake, how could she NOT notice and/or have him DO SOMETHING about it? Enough of that before I hurl chunks all over my keyboard. Good thing he's only gonna be here for TWO MORE WEEKS~serenity now, serenity now.
I also had this woman come in to the store to discuss a check of hers that was returned. She has got to be our star check bouncer~I counted at least 30 on record with us. She brings in paperwork from her bank telling me she got charged $20.00 for a check of hers that cleared on the SECOND TIME that we deposited it. The first time it did not. When your check doesn't clear you get charged-she knows this. She could send her grandchildren to college on the money she has wasted on paying bank fees over the years. She knows there is a charge and still continued to argue with me. I gave her $20.00 to get her out of my face. She was not taking no for and answer and I just wanted to be rid of her. Although, she did make me chuckle when Mr Trainee butted in with a comment and she looked at him and said "I wasn't talking to you, I am talking to her. Who ARE you anyway? Are you a manager or something?" hehe. He said nope, sorry. She told him he needed to mind his own business. She was feisty. But I was sooooooo busy and not in the mood to continue arguing with her. I know times are hard, but this woman has been doing this for YEARS. It was worth twenty bucks to make her go buh bye.
On a happier note, I reunited with 3 cousins on Sunday night. I found them on Facebook and we all got together. What a great time. We are planning a family picnic for the summer. A cousin volunteered his home (sucker!) and it will happen! We used to have one every year when all of our parents were alive. We all want to start this tradition again. I brought my son with me and he was able to meet some cousins(second)that he never knew existed and he actually got along great with them. My son doesn't take to new people to well and when he did it made momma a happy girl. The cousin that is having the picnic is in recovery and so is his wife! How cool is that?!!! I see his wife frequently at meetings, she's a sweetie and she was very kind to Jonathon and told him he is welcome anytime to come over and hang with her boys.
So I will go in with a fresh new attitude tomorrow, no sense in having the crazy check bouncing lady or the halitosis king ruin another day. I will not forget the magical happy pills tomorrow. Nope. Queen...OUT

When I saw the title to this post on my reader, I had to come see what up.
Stop & get some Certs tomorrow & give him the whole roll. Tell him you didn't know it had glutmoscartor in it, and you are allergic to that.
OH, how we make each other laugh. I tell you what, girlfriend, it's good thing we dont live by each other. I swear we would hang out and laugh all day and never get anything done!!
Additionally (yup, Im back on that word again, its cyclical..) - wonderful use of the f-word in the title phrase. You do a momma proud....
Sounds like life is happenin'.
This post made me laugh. There is a fellow at work here who has the worst breath on the planet. I have to stand 10 feet away from him. I've often wondered how he could be married, etc.
Ooooo....LOLOLOLOLOL (I love you now.)
Your day sounds much like my day yesterday. Maybe it as the alignment of the stars...
I was taking a woman to a detox (she didn't show, of course). So I went to a meeting, where a guy proceede to get in my face talking stoopid shit about a key that a guy in my home group gave me so I could get in to open the meeting on Saturday, because the board changed the locks. He was badgering me about having the key, and I told him to shut up. He yelled at me and said Don't tell ME to shut up. And I turned around and looked at him and said
SHUT. UP.
And I was pissed off the rest of the day. Not to mention I had to get up at 5 AM to take hubby to work so I could keep the car to take the invisible drunk to detox. Not to mention that I don't know what his problem was, as I have had a key to this place since I moved here 4 years ago.
Happy pills? HAPPY PILLS ??? GImme some.
xoxoxo
