I hate people who talk out of their asses. (figuratively, not literally... this is not a rant about flatulence) A lady I work with told me that I should consider myself lucky that my time at the office is limited to the next two and a half weeks because I won't have to deal with some of the idiots who work there after that time. My normal warm fuzzy demeanor completely left me and the part of me that dares have someone cross my path on a bad day, came out like I was channeling Linda Blair. I did not yell or scream, but I'm certain that my hushed tones, glaring, beady eyes, and scowling visage was more than enough to let her know she phukked up in a more than huge way. I asked her, rhetorically of course, what made me so lucky. * Was it that I got to come home and tell Things 1 and 2 and my father that my job was disappearing like water vapor on a summer day, and see them look me in the eyes and ask, "Why, Mommy?" * Was it that I have 5 whole weeks of health insurance left, and the couple of meds that I have to take daily are so damn expensive that, without insurance, I won't be able to get them? * Was it that compared to losing my brother 3 weeks ago, losing my job is nothing? * Was it that I get to see if the landlord will take an I.O.U. if nothing else turns up in the next 16 days? * Was it that if I can't pay my car note and it gets repo'ed, I should be dancing because at least I won't be paying $4.10 for a gallon of gas? * Was it that I get to see if I'm made of hearty stock and how resourceful I can be if I have nothing? * Was it that I can try my luck at being Rumplestilskin and spin straw into gold? * Or maybe it's because I can finally clean out my storage unit when I have to sell my stuff on Craigslist in order to pay the electric bill? Now, mind you, I don't typically buy into the "oh, poor me" shit, but if you're going to sit there and bitch about having to drive your husband's truck to work instead of your BMW because it takes cheaper gas than your nice ride does, and then tell me that I'm LUCKY to be getting laid off, be prepared for me to verbally snap you in half like a phukking twig. ok... rant over... ~ Signed, Distributor of Verbal Bitch Slaps
