Like last night at work (I work at a veterinary hospital). It was a few minutes past closing, the door was locked, the open sign was off, and all the blinds were closed. The phone starts ringing like crazy, so I go up front to answer it and see the doctor's wife and kids standing outside (It was the doctor's wife calling to get someone to open the door). So I open the door, let them in, and lock it behind them. It's not like I'm going to leave my boss's wife and kids locked out in the rain and cold.

Not two minutes later, some woman with a bundle in her arms is pounding on the door. I unlock it and explain to her that the office is closed and that the doctor is in the middle of an emergency surgery and couldn't see her pet anyway (which was no lie, we had a cat with a bowel obstruction come in and we had to do an emergency exploratory surgery).

She starts arguing with me, demanding to be seen because she thinks her dog is dying. It was a little chihuahua who was basically a skeleton covered in skin. Well no $%&* the dog is dying, because this idiot didn't bother to go to a vet in time for a problem that obviously didn't happen over night. I told her again that she could not be seen and would need to go to the emergency clinic.

After that, the conversation went something like this:

"Well can't I just wait and be seen when he's finished?"

"No ma'am, we're closed."

"Could you please ask him?"

"The doctor is in surgery right now and I'm not going to interrupt him."

"You can't just ask him?"

"No. He's in surgery and we are closed. You need to go to the emergency clinic."

"But it's only a couple of minutes past and you let that other family in."

"That was the doctor's family, ma'am."

"Look, my seven year old son is in the car right now crying because his dog is sick." (BTW, people, for the record, I hate kids. This kind of thing doesn't work on me.)

"I'm sorry to hear that, but we are closed, the doctor is in surgery, and we can't see your pet."

"Do you always turn people away like this?"

"When people show up after we are closed and the doctor is in surgery, yes, we turn people away. Now I suggest that you stop wasting time and go to the emergency clinic."

Then she demands to know my name and storms off like I'm the bad guy, when she's the one who obviously waited far too long to seek help for her pet.

Dumb bitch.

Sorry, but I really am in a foul mood. I love my kids, but why does the little one always, I mean EVERY DAY, try to tell me she doesn't feel good to get out of school. (I know why, she can't stand her teacher) And why, for the past 2 weeks, no kidding, is my teenager mad at the world??? I mean, ****ty mood. Bad. Not towards me or the little one... but I have to listen to her rant about everything. It's cold. (she'll go on about this for a while) Math is stupid. (she's gone on about this for 6 months! haha!) Dumb friends getting pregnant at 16. (okay, she has a point, but why bitch about it?? It won't make them unpregnant) Then, here at work, our pensions were just reduced and our retirement insurance premium was just raised. Does it suck? Sure it does! Will everyone constantly bitching about it make it change? Hell no! Be thankful we all didn't get pink slips and sent home without jobs. Things could be so much worse... so why constantly complain? It just drags you down and the people around you. Whatever happened to trying to see the better side of things???
