I don't know how I got myself out of bed today. I feel like crappola!!!
Oh well...my son had school today, and since his school is out of town near my work, I kinda have to go to work. I've been just sitting here suffering from an awful head cold. I feel light headed and queazy. My ears feel plugged up, and I feel out of balance. I hate that feeling. Oh well.. At least when I'm at work I'm not tempted to take on housework. That's what always happens to me. I don't feel well, so I stay at home, and I end up cleaning something, and I don't really relax to feel better. I mean, there is always SOMETHING to clean or do when I'm at home. So, thank God for work. I sometimes think it would be so wonderful to not work and just stay at home, but I'm afraid it would drive me crazy. Perhaps I would be able to start reading again? May be start on a hobby, or write something meaningful? Hmm... It would be nice to try anyway.
It's gloomy and rainy outside, and the air is thick. Not good weather for headaches. Not good for clientel moods either apparently.. We have had some of the most rudest people come into our lobby this week. The receptionist (oh yeah, she made an appearance this week) was called a "stupid b____" yesterday. That did not go well. One thing about the receptionist here, she doesn't take crap for NOBODY. The guy ended up leaving the lobby with his tail between his legs. This morning, there were also a few people that were really testing my own nerves. I also got a call from some dude in Texas who wanted to get some dirt on his soon-to-be ex-wife.
"Well, aren't you in the town with the big ferris wheel?" Tex asks.
Yes Mr. Texan man, we are located near the big ferris wheel. Oh my Lord. There is a Boardwalk here near the main beach, and YES, this town is known for the amusement park and the Boardwalk, but when the guy said the "big ferris wheel" it kind of threw me off on a loop, and I had to think a bit to understand what he was talking about. Aren't there places in Texas with ferris wheels? I'm guessing there is. Anyway, I guess this guy's soon-to-be ex got in trouble there near the ferris wheel. Interesting. Needless to say, I couldn't help him, and I couldn't find anything on this dude's wife, but I enjoyed hearing him talk. I love Texan accents; they remind me of Elvis and someone I used to know.
Anyway, this all reminds me of a bumper sticker I read on some idiot's truck earlier this week. Monday, I took my youngest son out for a nice walk near the ocean. It was a beautiful morning, and the smell of the ocean and the salt air felt so nice. We even managed to build a sand castle. Anyway, on the way home, here is this white truck in front of me with this bumper sticker that read:
"F___k You!
You
"F___king F___ker!"
Suddenly, my perfect morning with the youngster was ruined. Damn--it hurt my feelings even! Okay... Why would anyone be so inclined to purchase such an ugly bumper sticker to put on their vehicle is beyond me, but I really took offense to it. Normally, I would just ignore it, but for some reason, it really bothered me. Why would anyone want to create more negativity in this world? Isn't there enough bad things going on in this world already? What bothered me the most was my reaction to it. It actually made me want to grab hold of the wheel, pass the idiot's car and flip him off---but of course, common sense and morality catched up with me, and I didn't give in.
I can't stand rude people. I wish someone kicks his butt one day-just enough to bruise him just a little bit.
We just don't have enough bumper stickers in the world that actually say:
I know, there is a gunshot wound. It's the only one I could find in Google--sad, huh? Sorry :(

That's exactly why I got the tire cover that said Life is Good. I hate negative bumper stickers.
Missie
maybe that was one of my trolls driving that truck!!
lol
i hate it that you are feeling awful and hope you feel better today. I could quit my job right now and never look back and find a way to keep busy. I hope the rude people at your job take it elsewhere!
Love,lisa
Is it legal to put the f-word on your vehicle? Free speech has sunk to a pretty low level if that's all this dummy can come up with to display on his truck. I like some of the negative bumper stickers...as long as they make you THINK! --Cin
I had thought it was illegal to put something like that on your vehicle. Next time write the license plate down and report him to the police or DMV. If enough people complain perhaps he will be forced to remove it. That's just ugly, it would put anyone in a defensive mood. (Hugs) Indigo
