Been One of Those Days
Feb. 7th, 2018 11:26 pmMore for my parents than me -- Mom got majorly screwed over by a doctor she visited to get some bloodwork and tests done, only for said doctor to never actually ORDER said tests, and her job has gotten to the point where she's finally ready to quit to get away from all the drama -- but we all had a "fun" ride into my work this morning! We all ended up taking the truck together, and am I glad we did! Highlights:
-->Somebody blowing through the stop sign at an intersection near our house, and somebody else who seriously looked like they wanted to until my Dad started going and forced them to stop
-->Dad getting onto the highway, only for a white car to come flying up beside him (preventing him from getting over another lane), whip in front of us, and then just proceed at a terrifyingly fast pace weaving in and out of traffic
-->A green car ahead of us deciding to drive up the dotted line between the two lanes for a while for no particular reason
-->Had to pull over just before getting onto 95 to let a cop car and an ambulance through
-->And then, on the road up to my work, a blue Jetta started drifting into the side of us because the driver was on the phone. My parents are naturally upset -- and, since we're actually at a stop light with this person near us, Mom decides to call the police and report the driver. I give her the license plate number, she calls as Dad proceeds once the light turns green --
And suddenly there's a ton of honking behind us, and then the Jetta WHIPS up the other lane, with the woman still on her phone and shouting at US! Mom's furious, I'm rattled, and this continues to the next red light. And then we turn onto the next street --
And the lady turns in the other lane, and when we stop at the next red light, she starts taking pictures of us with her phone! And then she rolls down the window and starts shouting at us again, and Mom screams that she's on the phone with the police right now, and finally we get away from her because we have to turn again and she goes straight.
So yeah. That wasn't fun. Took me a while to properly calm down. At least work itself wasn't too bad -- roster maintenance, tracking down some donor information for CAP, starting the next data file, doing a few things for the capital campaign. No major fires, which was nice. Did have some icky weather, though -- it was snowing like crazy for a while today. I thought for a second it was gonna turn into a proper blizzard. But then the weather warmed up and it changed to slushy rain. Better than snow, but -- well, it's supposed to get cold again tonight, so now we get to deal with morning ice. *grumbles*
On the PLUS side, I'm caught up on stuff -- got in the latest Silent Hill 2 set from Helloween (visiting Brookhaven Hospital, creepy nurses are freaking creepy man), and snuck in a Yandere Simulator Myths episode by Jay (showcasing mostly fun/silly glitches he managed to find testing out the new "bullies" feature). And my VictorLuvsAlice queue now extends straight through the first part of Sunday! Nice to be prepared. :) And gives me a little extra time this weekend to think of Valicetines and suchlike. I've got a Sims one wrapped up, and I'd like to do one with my new plushes too. . .
That's for later, though. Right now, I gotta hit the sheets. Work tomorrow, after all. At least now we're halfway through this week. . . Fingers crossed the next couple of days will be better. Night all!
