Drama at work, as usual.
Had to give a statement about a former employee who is suing because she didn't like getting fired for stealing--just wonderful!
Had a call from the resident whiner who thinks my being a union rep means I have to talk to her all the time and provide legal advice. Today it was about her feral cat collection being picked up by Animal Control by mistake. I really have to bite my tongue when she calls because I just want to tell her to pay me the same rate she would pay a lawyer or shut up.
Then there is the entire department that is being fired for stupid stuff that should have garnered no more discipline than letters of reprimand. All are long-time benefit employees and in an area slated for downsizing, so I really think this is a way to do it without having to do a RIF.
The only nice thing about the day was that I decided to have a dinner out and tried a place I hadn't been in a long time (had a coupon). I was pleasantly surprised and, since I get coupons for that place every week, will be going there more often.
As for the rest... If today was a program on the DVR, I would press "DELETE" immediately.

It has been a long, long time
The last year and a half have not been easy on me and I took to another venue to vent.
Work--sucks and there WILL be changes.
Home--can't post everything here, but let's just say I don't have to go to Hell when I die since I've already done my time.
Family--:( :( :( :( There have been serious problems that are still unresolved.
Love--what's that?
Friends--well, I have some.
Right now, I am fuming over something I read elsewhere that really made me upset. I found out that D's father and his then-wife were in town with his mother and he never bothered to make any attempt to let D and her grandmother meet at all. Talk about absolute thoughtlessness and meanness! What would it have hurt since the grandmother was ill and it would have allowed some closure before she died. As I understand, she wasn't told until she was already sick and wouldn't have had a lot of time to spend with D. I don't know if she ever had contact with D's half-sister, but that would have been just as mean to D.
Yep, I am in a wicked-mean mood tonight. As it is, I already know what work is going to offer in the way of dreck tomorrow, I am not going to be a pollyanna for the next few days.
Oh, and the guy who named the iconic fashion doll Barbara Millicent Roberts 5 months before I was born (see, she's older than me and needs plastic surgery to keep looking good) died earlier this month. So did Amy Winehouse, who joined the "27 Club". :( You don't know just how much that scares me personally.
My dad turned 75 about 4 minutes ago (he lives in the central time zone). I would call him, but I think his girlfriend would be put out if I did.
