I'm sure, if you read my blog on a regular basis, that you remember my complaining about this dumb, stupid bitch that works here, the one that always singled me out in meetings and did the schedules to give me THE worst possible jobs in creation... correct?
Well, I just found out that she's leaving the unit, she's going somewhere else, thank fucking Christ, you have zero idea of how much of a weight's lifted off of my shoulders!!!
I've been in such a good mood ever since I found this out that I've been talking to people, I've been laughing, smiling, humming under my breath... unreal. I never realized how much this bitch was dragging my mood down. This is the one reason why I hated coming to work. Now it's irrelevant that my feet ache and that I deal with idiots on Thursdays, or Tuesdays, or any day. It doesn't matter that I keep getting interrupted as I type this! (Writing from work again during the slow periods... hey, what else is there to do, I can't study here without my textbook.) None of it matters because she's not here to be a total raving bitch anymore. There IS a God!
However... now that the excitement's over... I'm not sure exactly when this is going to happen - only that it will. Still, I feel so much better, you would not believe.
Now if I can get my classwork together... God I'd be so so so much better.
One aside - I will NEVER take a cab from Jimmy's Cab in Towson ever again, I don't care if there's a raging snowstorm or a flood. Why? It was raining heavily this morning so I decided to forego the walk - it's too much to handle in the rain. I called Jimmy's for a cab, the guy showed up... and proceeded to tell me "this is a cash only cab". When I specifically said that I needed one that had a debit card function. I didn't have cash with me - so I grudgingly agreed to have this guy stop at an ATM (which of course costs me extra because this asshat's sitting there with the meter running). So what does the guy do? He takes THE LONG WAY around, and when I dare to protest, he goes, "I thought you wanted to go to an ATM." Of course, dumbass doesn't realize that he PASSED one on the way to the Beltway... which was nowhere NEAR where I wanted to go.
So then I'm steaming mad because this guy's added at least 3 bucks to his fare (and I'm not sure it wasn't deliberate, to be honest). We stop at an ATM and he's trying to make conversation.... only at this point I am NOT in the mood. My answers are short and clipped. I get the money, I get back into the cab, and then he comes out with a question that shocked the fuck out of me...
He goes, "Are you nursing?"
I was like, "WHAT? No, you sick fucking pervert, and even if I was it's none of your Goddamn business."
Needless to say, he shut up fast. And did he get a tip? Uh, NEGATIVE.
It only occurrs to me now that he was trying to say, "Are you IN nursing?" He was referring to my scrubs that I wear for work. A lot of people think I'm in the nursing field because of that. But his English... well, it wasn't the best, let's say.
I feel bad for calling him a sick fucking pervert, but I really thought that's what he'd asked me, was I nursing as in breastfeeding. -_- Hey, it wouldn't be the first time someone's thought I was pregnant, that's unfortunately what being overweight does to a person. :(
Meh.
I need to get going, as it's 6:30 and they'll be bum-rushing this place any minute. But I must say... I'm a lot happier tonight than I was. A LOT happier.
