She said:
"shoot"
so I said:
"well, I kinda wanted to know if/when I might be moving to the fax team. not that the phones are driving me absolutely insane or anything, I was already insane, but being on the phones is certainly not improving the condition, and besides, maybe I LIKE being crazy sometimes but not irritated and crazy which is what I can get sometimes when I'm on the phones too much. (and if you were here in person, I'd probably have said that all in one breath and be struggling after the next one right now.)
anyway, I'm having some problems with my daughter and I was thinking of switching schedules now that so many earlier ones are opened up, but if I'm needed on the later shift I can do that, too, especially if I can be on the fax team. so...yeah, that's what I wanted to know."
then she answered:
"Ok, well here’s the dealio…
We will be getting some new peeps on the fax team, but I don’t know when…hopefully sooner rather than later. when we get more people, we will be doing a shift bid as well… I wish I had something concrete to tell you, but do what is best for your daughter first, and then for you. if you need an earlier shift, you should probably try to go for it. but I couldn’t promise anything w faxes.
I know that did not help at all."
at which point I replied:
"well, at this point, I think what's best for my daughter is to duct tape her mouth and string her up by her toes in a secret closet that I would then board up and brick over, probably pad as well just in case the duct tape came loose so I wouldn't hear her screaming...
But everyone tells me she's just going through a phase..."
and she asked:
"I am sure she is. do you need to spend more time with her? is that why you need an earlier shift?"
so I suggested:
"yeah, that's what I was thinking. but there's two schools of thought on that. either a) spending more time with her will cure her of all her ills and be the best thing in the world for everyone involved or b) spending more time with her would be catering to her attitude which would only get worse and hence be the worst thing in the world for everyone involved.
*sigh* there needs to be a handbook for this sort of thing. one not written by Dr. Phil."
and she helped with:
"Can’t help you there, that is why I have a dog."
So now I'm debating about my work schedule along with all the OTHER stress in my life.
Now, you may be asking, what brought this up?
Amethyst is turning into a royal pain in my ass, and it's mainly due to the fact that she has too much contact with my parents and not enough with me. Fuck, I gotta get the hell outta that shithole.
