A complaint. (c/o Annie)


If you are a fence man it is inappropriate to do the following:

-Ask to use the restroom inside someone's home.

-Take the stinkiest dump humanly possible

-Leave poop stains in my toilet


Sick. My bathroom had to be on quarantine until I scrubbed it with bleach 100 times
 
** Seriously, this is the worst thing ever. A stranger pooping in your home?! I would just have to burn the house down. No other options.
 
Thank you for your submission, Annie.**

Big Hands

When people have abnormally big hands it always totally grosses me out. Or big feet. Both equally disgusting. I think I would have embraced the Chinese tradition of feet binding if I would have lived during that time. And been Chinese.

I have another thing to say today. Remember how I complained about the doctor's office? Well, after waiting the appropriate 3,000 years for my appointment, I went, was seen by the doctor, drove across town and had my blood drawn and was done in an hour, start to finish. Then they called me the next morning at like 9:01 with my test results. WHAT?! I sort of forgive you, doctor.

Possible Grossest Habit Ever

I hope all the smokers hurry up and die. They are making it really stinky for the rest of us.

Non-funny

This is a serious complaint. I've chosen to do on the blog because I've already complained to all the actual people I know and they are sick of hearing it but I don't feel better yet, so I have to blog it out.

Why's everything gotta suck so bad? When will the sucking end? What is one to do to make the sucky stuff suck less? And most importantly, why does everyone keep telling me that other people have sucky stuff too? Is that supposed to make me feel better? It doesn't. I already know that other people have sucky stuff and it doesn't change the suckyness level of my stuff.

I'm tired. Tired, tired, tired, of all the things, and from lack of sleep over dreading and pondering all the things. I'm tired of trying to pinpoint where I went wrong that led me to this point, and trying to figure out how everyone else took the same steps and ended up somewhere else. And I'm tired of comiserating with friends about our problems, feeling better that I have a friend who can relate, and then watching their problem go away, and they are moving forward and their life is getting better, and my problem is still sucky, and it never goes away.

At least I have Woobie and Original Sauce and Little Baby (Justin, Obie, Fifi). They make me feel better most of the time, except for when Little Baby cries too early in the morning and I have to hate her because sleeping in is the whole reason I have dog babies and not people babies and she's ruining it. I still mostly love her. I just shut her in the closet when she's too loud.

That is all. I actually do feel a little better.

Doctor's Office, Part 2

You may recall in our last episode of doctor's office the Doc. had decided that I had either women's polio or bubonic plague, and needed to have some tests done.

Step 1: Go to the front desk and ask to pay. Front desk girl : "You have a co-payment of $300 dollars and we'll bill you for the rest." Me: "WTF?" Pay all my money, and try to schedule a follow up appointment for after the "tests" are finished. Front desk girl claims that the results of said tests will be sent to their office and they will call me. Ok...

Step 2: Call the blood drawing place for an appointment. "Uh, gwe don't hab no appoinmenths.. Ju can jutht com een gwen ju wan." (Apparently they will suck your blood only on a walk-in-basis).

Step 3. Go to blood drawing place and repeat step 3 of 'Doctor's Office, Part 1', doubling the time and stink level. Say a silent prayer of gratitude for internet on my phone. Watch as seven Mexican families with at least 6 children each in tow go before me because the Mexican working the front desk likes them best. They are probably all cousins.

Step 4. Finally, it's my turn. Igor comes to get me, makes me sit in one of those chairs with the "misery arm rests" on either side. You know, the ones with special arm rests for drawing blood? Turns out he will be the one sucking my blood and would like to know which arm I prefer to have mutilated. The left. Despite the fact that my arms look like a map of the amazon river, he has a hard time finding the vein. Luckily I planned ahead and got high on cough syrup at hour 5 of my wait, so the pain is tolerable. When Igor finally finds a vein he takes 74 vials of blood while he wiggles the needle around inside my arm and tries to ask invasive personal questions to distract me from my essential fluids painfully oozing out my arm into a jam jar sized vial. I am dismissed feeling arm raped.

My blood drawing guy, Igor.

Step 5. Repeat step one of Doctor's Office, Part 2, except with a Mexican lisp accent.

Step 6. Six weeks later: have received three bills from each office asking for $600 and a flask of dragon tears and have not received a call from the Doctor's office. So I call them. Front desk girl "Um, ya it looks like everything came back normal- no polio, plague, or std's, so we can go ahead and schedule you a follow up appointment. How does 87 years from now sound? We can getcha in first thing in the morning!"

Step 7. Give up. Use NyQuil, optimism, and shopping as medication instead.

And that is my excuse for acting the way I do, and for my house looking the way it does. And for being obsessed with my dogs.
