Someone needs her meds adjusted...again...

Remember that awful day that I just KNEW was lurking around the corner?

I totally called it.

Most of the day went well, actually, until the Second in Command of the Crazy Department (Commander in Chief is still out on Loony Leave) at work picked a huge fight with me as I was getting ready to leave. I had noticed she was pissy all day, but she's the type you just generally don't want to mess with, so I've found it's best to just ignore her and she'll snap out of it. But today, wouldn't you know it, she REALLY wanted a fight so finally I gave in and took her bait. Turns out she's been angry with me and my only other normal co-worker about things that happened MONTHS ago, and today it all came pouring out. It was the kind of full disclosure that will just make your jaw drop, as you try to maintain your cool while some psychotic raging menopausal woman unloads all her baggage on you in the span of 20 minutes. It wasn't pretty.

And you know what? I HATE when things like this happen right before you're about to start a really fun weekend. Tomorrow is Zoey's big Owl Birthday Party, my mom and my sister and my new little neice will be here tonight, Sunday is the day we're going to decorate for Christmas (finally!) and Monday is Zoey's actual birthday, so I took some vacation time to spend the day with her. But when shit like this happens just as you're walking out the door, IT MAKES YOUR BRAIN HURT, because you just can not fathom how some people live with such constant anger and drama in their lives.

Anyway.

I'm feeling better now that I've had a chance to fix dinner, clean my house (scrubbing the bath tub is best reserved for days when you have to deal with The Crazies...which means my tub usually looks great and always smells of bleach...), and bake all the cupcakes we'll need for tomorrow. I will not let one of The Crazies ruin my daughter's fun birthday weekend.

And that job offer I got for the middle of February is looking VEEERRRYY promising....
