Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
Okay today was hands down a pile of smoking shit.I took on call for Deb Ellison as her grand father died so I thought I would do a service and be nice. There was my first mistake of the day.
My worst non custodial came it. Told me that I am shit, the program is shit, and that overall everything sucks.
One of my custodials came in, she was just illiterate. I could deal with her.
Next guy was just pissy about income withholding till I noticed that the due on arrears was out of this world and that there may be an offset which no one told me about, nice. Fixed him.
Then Laura was at lunch and some appointment, got stuck listening to one of her custodials rant about her sperm donor and how she is going to term his parental rights. Get an attorney.
Then my phone was nuts after I got back from lunch. I think I had about 8 calls.
Then one of my grouchy bitches came in and ripped my ass because she is overpaid. Well, when I asked her how much money she gets a month from social security for direct benefits she couldn't say. She proceeded to yell at me for over a half hour, everyone in the office just sat there and let her do it to. When I told her that at this point there wasn't much I could do she said that I can apologize all I want but she wants money. Well that says a lot. Kanye, you were right, she is a "Gold Digger!"
After that I nearly was in tears. I felt like everything that I try to make right in my day was just tossed into a waste basket of hopelessness. I did manage to get a few things done between all that chaos, but not a whole lot.
One shining accomplishment is that I have is a pretty good bet going with one of my friends. That perked me up pretty good and it brightened my mood. I have a pretty good shot at winning too, so now comes the task of determining what I want.
Suggestions are always welcome.
There are conditions so I have to be good.
*watches Halo fall to the ground*
Oops. My bad.
(thanks Dusty...hee!)
Since I have been home, the phone has rang twice, Lloyd's cell too. It's Kelly. Carson did a small baddie the other day and well needless to say he has been in a lot of trouble.
Him and his friend Zack, went door to door with a coffee can stating that they were with the boy scouts and they were taking donations. The collected $23 in cash and then went to Loaf & Jug and got $16 worth of candy and gorged themselves. Zack's mom found out about the donations and told Kelly.
She wasn't sure what to do so she called here. Lloyd told her to call the cops as Carson just doesn't have any respect for her and really has been bad about listening since they moved in July.
So she called the cops. They really didn't do much the night of but it did manage to make it's way to the 6 o'clock news on KXMB Tuesday as the actual Boy Scouts are starting their popcorn sales.
So now with the calls, I am wondering if something happened. Lloyd isn't home as he was going to go out and have a few drinks with the boys after he came home which he hasn't done yet. I don' t want to talk to Kelly about it as at this point I am trying to take a back seat to this and let Kelly & Lloyd figure it out. Carson needs to be dealt with but I don't know if this is our role as a part of the BB/BS program.
So here I sit, scared to answer the phone, exhausted, and really too lazy to do anything except maybe shop for some rocking shoes as I found a pair at Herberger's last night that I am going to see if I can find for less online. I am not willing to shell out $90 right now for shoes. I think I would rather spend that on booze.
