Explain this to me? PLEASE??????
I get back home after nine hours at the shop stripping cables and tinning lead wires. I'm tired. I'm sore. I just want to have a shower and a bite to eat before curling up in bed and reading for a bit. SUch is not to be.
She greets me by telling me there's an important message for me on the answering machine. Listen to the message ( which is dealing with my appointment at the VA ortho clinic about my knees ... something she knows is an ongoing battle for me. )
The message states how, even though my appointment for the 26th ( the one I'd had booked since late August ) was cancelled due to overbooking, if I call ASAP I could get in tomorrow afternoon. The message was from 1pm. The ortho clinic offices close at 5pm. I got home close to 7pm.
I ask her when she listened to the message ... she said, "right after I got home at 1 or so." ... I asked her if she knew HOW FUCKING important that phone call was. She nodded, but I could see if those eyes that she didn't. She said, "That's why I told you right away about it."
SIX FUCKING HOURS AFTER YOU LISTENED TO THE MESSAGE WHEN I HAVE A FUCKING CELLPHONE ON ME AT ALL TIMES IS NOT "right away"! now is it?
So I just walk off and go take my shower. I thought the water may calm me down. Fat chance.
While I'm drying off she comes in and tells me about how she sent a message to a friend of mine in Tennessee apologizing to her about how shitty she's been acting towards her and causing her stress.
I asked her WHICH of the two information bits she was able to tell me straight away should she have told me?
Now she's pissed off talking about how she can't win.
She still doesn't understand why I am upset over this. I just don't get it. How can she be that dense?
