I am starting to wonder if the rising gas prices are making people evil. Gas is 3.64 a gallon for regular here. There were rumors that it would get up to 3.99 by this evening. Every gas station in the tri-county area is bombarded with customers trying to get gas at that cheap price of $3.64. I never thought I would see the day when that would happen.
Today was a bad day. There’s just no other way of looking at it. Have you ever had one of those days when everyone around you seems ticked off at you….and you haven’t done anything to them? First, it appears that Eddie is upset with me. He didn’t return my phone call & when I emailed him on another issue he sent back a very short snotty reply. Eddie is or was suppose to be my mentor of sorts. He was suppose to be the person training me to do my new job. He has invested 2 days in “training” me. I haven’t complained- not one word. I have received the least amount of training of everyone in my title on the entire east coast. I have sucked it up and researched the life out of every job I have done and I have just made it work. Long story short, a job he couldn’t finish- looks like it may get dumped in my lap. One would think if anyone should be ticked- it should be me, but for some reason he is upset with me….like I was plotting to take this flaming piece of crap off of his desk. Trust me- I don’t want it.
I went to the eye doctor today. It is like everyone around me is treating me like dirt. The receptionist was rude- the doctor acted like I was putting her out. Do you think it might be because I look so bad? I do look rough. All of the hours of overtime for months on end are starting to show…in my skin- in my eyes. I look 10 years older. I dropped Maria off a birthday gift at her office last night. I thought for sure she would IM me during work to thank me….she didn’t. She also didn’t call. Nothing, silence…just the gentle chirping of crickets. For all I know the janitor ran off with her gift before she came to work.
I was already depressed and feeling a down in the dumps when Joey called. Here I had been upset that he hadn’t called me since Thursday and today he finally called. He was cold- distant. He talked about the future again- I was noticeably missing from all of his plans. I had made a comment to him back in January when he and Cindy went on a cruise. I told him one of these days I would go on a cruise. He asked my why I didn’t go- I told him because all of my friends and family were married, and apparently I was unable of maintaining a relationship of my own. Today, he told me he thought I should go on a singles cruise. It hit me in the chest like a ton of bricks. It was kind of a polite way of saying “yeah, I don’t want ya.” Used to the idea of me seeing someone else drove him crazy- now he couldn’t care less.
I was down…way down low. I have been doing pretty good on my diet- but today was such a rough day the idea of coming home and having to fix a salad just wasn’t the least bit appealing. So, I decided to treat myself. I stopped at the Chinese restaurant to pick up a buffet to go. The little Vietnamese woman behind the counter was flat out mean to me. I have stopped at this restaurant about 6 times a year since they opened 10 years ago…she has always been nice- today she was mean. Slamming my cardboard box on the counter- sighing and rolling her eyes…it was as if when I said “One Buffet to go please” she heard- “hey little chinky girl- give me some dinner.”
I walked out of the restaurant cardboard box in hand. And a reminder of the fact I now reside in the ghetto was sanding around my car. (What is it about my car that attracts the scum?) There was a whole gang of 20 something guys just standing around my car. They kept eyeballing me while I walked up to it. After being hassled verbally by them I quietly got in my car and drove home- to find two white trash mama’s with babies on their hips standing in front of my house talking. They scattered as I drove up.
Man this was a bad day. I nearly died in 1996- nearly died again in 2000...but God kept me alive for THIS. Are you kidding me? THIS is the plan? This is why I am still alive?
