Today has started off to be the worst day in quite some time for me.
I wake up late, get the baby up late. While I am in his room, the dog is under my foot everytime I turn around, which isn't typical. I feed the baby and put him back in his crib to watch tv and play while I get ready.
My oaf of a husband is still in bed, he's supposed to be at the gym by now. He starts in with this baby powder smell and what have I done, whats that smell etc... I ignore it and continue to get ready. And he is still going on about the damn smell. Finally I am like, 'Its my perfume, I'm sorry, whatever'! So I finish up and pop into the babys room to get him and once again the dog almost trips me. I come downstairs and the smell hits me like a freight train.
THE FUCKING DOG HAS SHITTED UP THE PLACE AND ALL OF THIS IS UNDER THE BABY'S JUMPER-ROO!!! I lost my everloving mind.
Here I am trying to get the baby in his saucer and away from the smell, turn on the tv so he can watch tv while I clean up DOGSHIT. It was so bad I couldn't just take care of it with a scrub brush. No, I had to break out the carpet steam cleaner! I threw in some bleach for good measure. So 'the oaf' obviously hears my yelling and hears some sort of machine running downstairs at 7am and comes down to see whats going on. I told him to get the dog outside, and what he had done etc... I thought for a second that the dog wouldn't come back! He was scared shitless.
All the while, baby guy is just talking up a storm and dadadad, laalalaa, mamamama this and that.
While the Oaf and I were outside smoking and waiting for the dog to give up and come back, we figured out that the dog was out a lot yesterday, and his last time out was at 11:30 pm! He never does this, ever! I think he did it on purpose beneath the babys jumper. He better quit that shit or we will have some problems. He is probably jealous, but I do play with him, its not like he is ignored since the baby came. He was here first, he was my first 'baby', but hey get with it 'mutt', change happens, deal with it!
I have to go smoke, I'll be back to fill you in on the rest of my day and actually my past week....
ahhh ok I'm back.
So earlier this week, I busted Little Miss Ignorance out to our manager. Last week, she 'warned' me that she would be calling out sick on Thursday and Friday to go to Miami. I wasn't happy b/c it's me who has to cover for her while she is out. All of a sudden on Tuesday she leaves me this message that she has a fever and wont be in. Fine I can deal with that. Then on Wednesday she's out also, same fever. But her messages to me and on phone calls, she sounds fine, shes laughing and shit. Then on Thursday she leaves yet another message, this time she said she went to the hospital and the Dr. said she had 'Viral Laryngitis' and the only way to make sure was to perform a spinal tap. Are you fucking kidding me or what?! First, if your going to lie about an illness get the fucking name right dickhead! It's meningitis you fuckwad! And if for one second, any Dr thinks you have that, you do not refuse a spinal tap, and you don't leave the hospital to walk around like Typhoid Mary!!
So on Friday, shes out again and I had just about enough. I was dealing with her customers and trying to fix things she promised to them weeks prior and dealing with their crisis. I went to my manager and asked if she believed all that crap. She said well Miss Ig sounds really sick, I said yeah I sound sick the first thing in the morning too, and I wished I could have recorded phone calls with her and kept her voice mails to me where she sounds great. So this Monday I finally told our manager about Little Miss Ignorances trip to Miami and that I am sure she will have some color to her face.
Later that morning, Miss Ig comes in and hands our manager a Dr note (lord only knows where that came from) and damn if she doesn't have some color on her! My manager even said, 'my you certainly have some color for being sick' Later that day, my manager called me into her office to tell me that Miss Ig had a dr note and there was nothing she could do. I said well theres something I can do, I will remember this, because this is shit, and I don't appreciate being put upon b/c Miss Ig feels like taking a week off. I also threw in some other stuff about her being such a shitty worker and rude to customers, just for shits.
I started my travel agent studies, so far so good. This is my 'plan B' in life. I don't know how much longer I can deal with Telecom and I don't know what will happen to my job when this merger takes effect. The new company may decide they have their own employees to handle our customers, and decide to let all of us go.
Oh well, its always good to have a backup and I love to travel.
Gotta run, I decided I'm not doing much today, I am going to complete my first test on my travel schooling...
