"The Gods have a sense of humor, and we are Their playthings!"
Today I'm feeling like a well-loved plaything...you know, the one with an an ear missing, an eye hanging on by a thread, and the seams coming loose? Yeah. I could do with a little less love of that nature. This week has been...interesting.
Started off with a snowstorm where almost everyone BUT Mpls cancelled school. They went two hours late, which was a total nightmare. Tuesday was an early release day in another of our districts...and half my standbys didn't want to work over the mid-day. Fuckers. Wednesday was a safety meeting AND the PM dispatcher was absent, so I had to stick around longer than I intended. Today was another snowstorm...no one cancelled this time around, and I kept getting screaming calls from parents about why wasn't their kid's bus there yet...it was FIVE minutes late. Excuse me, have you LOOKED out the window today? Hello, SNOW! Snow over ice in some areas, snow over compacted snow in others. That equals bad traffic. More fuckers.
And the boyfriend of the lodger downstairs runs his truck outside at all kinds of hours. They sit there together for extended periods of time. The revving is that sound just on the edge of hearing that make me ready to spit nails. I try to remember what it's like to be young and in love and just want to be together, but I'm having trouble caring at this point. I just want him to shut the damn truck off...or for them to go get a room somewhere and NOT be here.
I have a headache the size of Mt. Vesuvius...pre-eruption. So maybe it's time for bed. Maybe tomorrow will be better, but I'm feeling pessimistic right now.
