I have been invaded by the spirit of Samuel L. Jackson

How do I know? Ask me how I know. Sound of crickets chirping. Okay, I'll tell you -anyway-! On the way to work today, every other word either in my thoughts or out of my mouth was 'fuck'. What inspired this? Oooh, lots of things. But the one that inspired it most was the pleasant little WASP mom in her minivan -full- of children driving 50 MPH...in the left lane of I-95 in the midst of rush-hour morning traffic going full speed. Okay, I can accept she's stupid. What boggled my mind?

She flipped me off when I passed her. Feel the loving rays, oh yeah! Fuck!

Dialog

Me: Hey, Ruth, I've been thinking. You know how I've been coming in at 7:30am because, well, someone needs to open the door for folks first thing in the morning. I was wondering, would it be okay for me to leave at 3:30pm every day, like I do on Thursdays? editor's note: Ruth okayed both me coming in early and me leaving early on Thursdays.

Ruth: Cold and angry tone. You can discuss all changes in your schedule with Barbara S. She'll be down later today.

Me: Um, okay. Thanks!

A world of WTF, here. Yeah, Barbara is our immediate supervisor. But how come all of a sudden I have to go to the department head for minor shift oddities? Wisdom for the day: Rubber bands only stretch so far before they break.

In good news, the lady I need to speak to in HR for insurance foo is here today, and her baby doesn't seem to have strep. Yay! Also, I managed to score Breyer's chocolate chip ice cream last night for $2.74 a 1/2 gallon. It's the little things in life sometimes. ;)
