moron monday

ahh, mondays. that joyous day of the week filled with calls from all sorts of strange characters who know nothing and everything, all at the same time. truly, it is a joy to work with these odd and bewildering folk. since when did intelligence become a non-renewable resource?

i spent a good half hour today with a man who lamented about his "vintage 1984 porsche-a" and how the woman who hit him didn't say she was sorry and no one paid any attention to him. at first, it made me feel embarrassed - like i was supposed to be the one who was supposed to be apologizing. but then i got annoyed; why should i apologize? and how does he know that something wasn't seriously wrong with the person who hit him. i understand wanting the other person to own up to what they did, but that doesn't condone your childish reaction, mr. pay-attention-to-me.

it's always a bit disheartening to have to go back to work, especially after having such a nice weekend. i spent a great night in with my boyfriend, went shopping and got my cartilage pierced on saturday with a good friend, had a nice dinner, went to spin class and lazed around on sunday... all in all, a nice weekend. i wish that i could have a four day weekend this week, but since i work for the gestapo, that's not gonna happen and i will be back in the office on friday after thanksgiving. hopefully it won't be too terribly busy.

i am looking forward to thanksgiving, though. we're going to spend it with other people (other than immediate family) for the first time that i can actually remember. although i've grown to love the food and company i get when i'm just with my parents and siblings, it will be interesting to spend time with some other family as well. i am gonna miss the steak, but there's always christmas for that.
