Welcome to Our Lady of the Short Fuse

Welcome to Our Lady of the Short Fuse

This is just not the day to challenge me on much of anything.

I have had three phone calls today, all three from men who wanted to argue with me. The last straw was one that wanted to file charges against his soon to be ex-wife because she told the Houston police officer that came out to the house last night that she had filed a restraining order against the soon to be ex-husband, and once the officer had checked and found no restraining order in the system (and trust me, I know about how hard he checked) he informed the wife that she had committed a crime by lying to him. Now the husband wants me to tell him why she isn't going to jail. Hey jackass, why didn't you ask the cop that was out there last night?

Here's a clue, Einstein, she doesn't want you anymore. If she's going to the trouble of filing a restraining order, she really doesn't want you anymore. She doesn't want your company, your opinion or your laundry layng around in the floor of her house anymore. Pack up your shit and walk off. Trust me, in the long run you'll be much happier.

And two calls where from a man who wanted to argue whether or not our office figurehead was out at his house at 4 am knocking on the door to serve him with a paper.

Let me assure you, dumbass, that he was not. he wouldn't be out there at noon to knock on your door if his life depended on it. He'd send somebody else.

I'm three days into the Dr. Phil Weight Loss Challenge, two days into my own personal campaign to cut back on the Diet Coke, and 5,262 days into my career as an office grunt working for somebody who barely remembers my last name. The fog this morning completely sucked and I was fifteen minutes late to work instead of my customary ten minutes.

I work with a bunch of grown men who want to whine and bitch like a pack of three year olds. I work with a woman who has to go take her bilingual certification test today because this is the last possible day for her to take it or she'll loose her bilingual pay.

Fuck this.

On the upside, I have my first belly-dance class tonight after work and I'm really looking forward to that.
