I ask for so little. Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave.

Ok, so I've just basically had a shit day today.  Here's why...

 

I walk to work occasionally.  Today was one of those days that I did.  On my way, I was going thru the crosswalk at the intersection of 33rd and 2nd Streets here in St Cloud.  And some bitch in a black grand am comes speeding up and comes about an inch from hitting me.  I yelled at her, which is probably the only reason she even realized I was there.  She gets out of her car and screams at me, asking me why the HELL I'm in the middle of the street.  I looked at her and pointed at the ground and asked, "Do you see those little white lines on the road here?  Do you know what those mean?"  She just stared at me like I was an idiot, then I pointed to the sign that was flashing walk at us and asked her if she knew what that meant.  She said yes.  So, I informed her that it meant I had the right of way, and since I was in the crosswalk, if she HAD hit me, there would have been a major lawsuit.  She got back in her car and I continued on my way.  Got to work about 5 minutes late, explained to my manager why, and she just boggled at the whole situation.

Then, I was sposed to be off work at 5 since I had opened... that's a 7 hour shift.  The girl who was sposed to replace me decides not to show up, and she didn't tell any of us that she wouldn't be there.  So I end up working an extra hour until they can get someone to cover for her so I can actually leave and there's more than one person left to run the store.  I finally got to leave at about 6.  Since I was an hour late getting out of work, I had no ride home, so I had to walk another 3 miles to get here... and on my way, got a call from the office here at my building saying there were some things that had to get done in a vacant apartment by 6:30pm... this was at about 6:05 or so.  Asked her to hold them off getting into the apartment until 7 so I could actually have time to walk my ass home, drop my stuff, and run up to the apartment to finish that stuff off.  She got them to agree to give me the extra half hour by explaining that I had to walk home from work.  I'm glad they were reasonable about it, because you'd be surprised how many people aren't and have complete freaking hissy fits about a whole half hour of their little lives.  Cuz, you know, that couch WONT wait to be moved... *grumble*

 

So yeah, anyhow, how was your day?
