So I had a doctors appointment this morning. Needed to get a physical, it'd been a few years. I also needed to find out an alternative to birth control pills because I've been on them forever (12 years) and I'm tired of the fuckers. I'm looking into an IUD for about 5 years and then something more perminant.
Anyway, right before my 7:30 a.m. appointment that I'd told my boss and coworker about last week, I turn on my cell phone and get a message left last night by my coworker who is supposed to open every morning at 8:00 (she lives about 5 blocks from work but is late almost EVERY SINGLE morning because she has to drop her damn daughter off at school that's just as close to their home). Meanwhile, I live about 45 minutes to an hour away and do my best to get to work between 8:15 and 8:30. Well, it seems her obnoxious, six month old chocolate lab has somehow gotten puke all over herself and coworker will be late this morning because she has to take the dog to the vet to get the smelly barf groomed off.
Lemme fill you in a little on coworkers famblee... First off, they're stupid with dogs and animals in general. She is the typical breeder animal lover with a family who doesn't help because she has insisted on doing everything for them since she didn't work full time before this job. This poor dog is kept in a crate most of the day because everyone is gone. Coworker has to go home to let the poor dog pee and play a little. The dog is constantly bored and chews on shit, swallows shit, gets stomach upset and barfs pretty damn often. None of her stupid family are consistent with any sort of obedience training, the hubby is impatient and has a heart condition that he thinks is agitated by the dog... It's just fucking stupid. You get the picture.
Anyway, her message says she called my home last night, but didn't bother to leave a message on our machine. So she leaves one on my cell, that I'VE TOLD HER I TURN OFF AT NIGHT. She doesn't remember my appointment and doesn't even bother to call my home this morning to make sure I got the message from last night. She also tells me in the message that she called our boss, who OKAYED IT because she fucking forgot about my appointment also. Naturally, because she is too worried about building her fucking castle of a house... Ugh... I know I should have reminded them both before I went home last night. Stupid me thinks they actually WROTE IT DOWN when I emailed them about it. All I could do this morning was call my stupid boss and tell her I'd be there as soon as I could.
I should add that, in pure breeder quality fashion, coworker is going to be late again tomorrow because she's got the ol' teacher conference for her useless daughter. Yea, I remembered because we discussed this LAST WEEK WHEN I TOLD HER ABOUT MY FUCKING DOCTORS APPOINTMENT. So I'm all stressed and pissed by the time I see the doctor and I mentioned what happened with coworker and her dog emergency. I complain that I didn't understand why she HAD to take the dog to the VET to be washed and couldn't just wash the dog off herself last night, since this incident apparently happened at about 7:30 or so. Then, you know...take the dog to be washed AFTER WORK. The doctor says, "Oh, can't let fluffy be dirty, you know how THEY are... They put them ahead of people..." I just sort of said, "Uh huh...well, I sorta understand about animals..." Then I didn't want to waste my breath on the stupid bitch so I just uh-huhed and moved on. Yea, she says that after I tell her I don't want kids and want to get more permenant bc. I realize I'm too sensitive and this woman doesn't care enough to put two and two together but still... How did she know I wasn't ONE OF THEM? One of those stupid animal lovers who puts animals ahead of precious humans who are OH so much more worth life because they are so *cough* INTELLIGENT *cough* *cough*.
I got to work a little after 9:00 and made sure to tell coworker how I felt about what she did. You don't leave a fucking message, you talk to the person to be sure they got it and that all is good. Especially when that person lives way the fuck further away from work than you and needs more notice! This on top of all the other stupid, mindless shit she's been doing lately and just annoys the fuck out of me. Doesn't help that I HATE my job and my boss and what it all represents. Heh...after writing and rereading this, I realize I'm really pissed off and emotional lately. Well, that was another reason for today's appointment, to get some different medication and see what else I can do about this constant anxiety and depression. Life is shitty right now, but it could be worse.
THE END
