A Very Long Post

as promised.

ive realized i have poison ivy (since monday when i worked with the mexicans) and it's annoying the stew out of me!!! i need this to go away!

FRIDAY
went to the thing at the hobbs. not oo many people were there this time (they were all in Mississippi) but it was good none the less. i ended up spending the night there cuz i didnt want to drive home.

SATURDAY
woke up to realize that samuel jb and wes were going rafting with their senior class.......what was i going to do for fun? john hobbs, luke, robert and I, played fuzion frenzy. from dusk till dawn (reverse that) mostly we just played 'duck duck goose' and 'sumo' but it was awsome. i also bought a wireless xbox controller and i got a new Bible! it rocks! i ended up babysitting for like an hour because luke wouldnt do his job! so i beat $5 out of him. it wass worth it. i love kids! i had sooo much fun, that i decided to stay saturday night at the hobbs as well. two night.....wow. i also found a site in which to download massive amounts of naruto manga episodes! i have more than i had before! oh yeah!

SUNDAY
woke uo, went to church, got some medicine stuff for my poison ivy, ate at applebees with the hobbs and adam and robert. then, we went back to the hobbs to play more fuzion frenzy!!! we play that game non stop now. ended up staying till like 9 o'clock. jb, thanks for the brownies. samuel, i hate you. luke, the boycott is still on, plus i stole more of your stuff. john,.......idk what to say to you. robert, republicans rock! and a HUGE thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Hobbs who endured me over the weekend. i diddn't feel good about staying that long, but thank you for letting me......

MONDAY
anyone who might get offended at the fact that i am extremely mad a a senior citizen might want to just skip this paraghraph. i had to take a pump (work stuff) out to this lady in decatur. i was just supposed to drop the pump off, have her sign some papers, and leave. easier said than done. when i got there she was on the phone arguing (now, she's like 80 years old so she's not the "brightest" woman alive, and she talks slowly) with this other company about what to do with her husband (the one we're providing the pump for) now, i'm listening to her talk for like 15 minutes just sitting in her house, with other deliveries i had to make that day, and she kept arguing and disagreeing with what they say. i didnt really understand the conversation, but i knew she was trouble. when she finally got off the phone (i've been waiting 30 minutes now) i tell her she needs to sogn these papers and i need to get on my way. being as stubborn as she is, she says "i want to check what you brought me first". i show her what i brought. we were sending a pump to replace the one she had, but another company supplied the one she had so the one I had brought and the one she already had were different. immidiately "this isn't the pump i have. i thought you were going to send me another one like this? and these bags are different, how do these work? i don't know if i like this pump" ..........at this point i'm getting frustrated in my mind, but manage (somehow) to keep a smile on the outside. i explain the best i can how the new pump works (i don't really know how it works, but i know some of it) and i told her a nurse would be coming by to show her how to use it. "well, i want to talk to this nurse" so i have her call the office to talk to the nurse. (p.s she won't let me leave because she wants a pump but she doesn't like the one i brought. and i needed her to either sign the papers and deal with the new pump, or she doesnt take the pump and i could leave)she's put on hold multiple times (by now ive been there an hour) and she's waiting on a call from our superviser on us trying to get her a pump just like the one she's got. (it's not going to happen, i can tell you that) at this point i said i'd just leave the pump there and if she doesnt want it the nurse can pick it up when she comes by. she said "ok". thank the heavens. i ran out of the house and took my other delivery. then i called the head of delivery and told him about what i did. "David, you can't leave that pump at her house unless she signs those papers"..........at this point i'm angry. so i call the lady back and say that i need her to sign the papers and keep the pump or just let me take the pump back to the office (the main reasonshe wont just keep it is that she'll be charged for every day she has the pump). "but what if the other company comes to take away the pump that he's got?" that's why we're giving you a new pump. "but i don't like that one" i'm just delivery, i can't make these decisions. "well, can you wait here till i get that call back from your supervisor?" ma'am, i have work to do, other patients to see. "but what if the other company comes back to take his pump away?".........at this point im ready to kill myself. after debating with her for like 30 minutes and convincing her that the other company wont take the pump away unless she has another one, she finally let me go. i was at her house for about an hour and a half listening to this stubborn woman talk and talk........in all honesty, i refuse to go to her house again. the problem is, i was nice to her the whole time (regaurdless of how i felt inside) so she's probably going to request to see me again........
..........................................................................................
okay short version for all of you. i was at some old ladys house for a hour and a half listening to her argue.....i was mad.

this was a long post, but i had to be said. the best way to get your anger out is to tell people about it. so there you go. kudos to anyone who actually read the whole thing.
