Mini Rants and Apology for not blogging

I know it has been a while since I have last blogged. A lot has been going on that has kept me quite occupied and I promise to blog about it (although kind of personal) in the next day or two. But in the meantime I have a few things that I need to complain about so others can either help me or laugh along with me.

I have been at my current job for almost 5 years. Holy shit, I know, that's a long time, but in that time I have grown quite the thick skin for very evil people. I have only cried, I think 3 times in those 5 years, and although many people probably have never cried at work, I think this is pretty good considering the abuse that I take daily. Since becoming a senior adjuster, the number and intensity of evil people has certainly increased (since I am the person that the evil person requests after being evil to the first person). The woman that I spoke to on Friday had to be the worst of the worst. I honestly don't understand how a person can call up to a complete stranger and be so mean. I can take, yelling or screaming or insults in general, but when that person is making it so personal, using so many swears directed in your direction, you can only take so much before either 1. going postal or 2. shedding a tear (and I did the latter). However, what my complaint is this....does this person not realize that she has hurt a human being? A person that will be driving home, replaying the insults and yells in their mind, a person that now has a ruined evening because of her evilness? How would this person like it if she was screamed at, call a moron, stupid and a bunch of swears and then excepted to leave work and have a great evening? Grr...It just frustrates me so much. I would never be evil to another person, no matter how angry I am!!

So I walked up to my front door this evening after work and found a business card stuck in the door. Now to preface this story a bit, my grandfather has a very old Ford Van in the backyard of the house that I live at now. this van has a ton of memories for the family and we promised each other that we would not get rid of this van until my grandmother passed away. OK....so it's been over a years since my grandmother's passing and the van is still in the backyard. I am not sure if it runs or has anything in it for that matter.....I am pretty sure that it has quite a few weeks growing up in there....but anyway, I am kind of scared to look into. So anyway, I come home to find this business card stuck in the door and in blue pen on the back of the card it reads, "I am interested in the van in the backyard, please call" So I turn the card over and it has some business and in blue pen the name, "Mark". All I have to say is SKETCH. Now, if someone wants to haul this van out of here, more power to them...but the van will be missed very much.....I promise to up date you all if the van is actual removed!

Not much else is going on in Katherine land. I got my tree which like always acts as a giant cat toy for Dizzy. But I love having a real tree and it wouldn't be Christmas with out it. I have finished my Christmas shopping (shocker I know..since I am always a last minute person). My job is a living hell like always and I can't wait for the weekend!!

Must end the blog now, as Dizzy is actually removing the lights from the tree! I will write again sooner than you think;)
