"I know how y'all are there, I know you don't really care."
-angry parent upset that I was not taking a report

This is something I hear on a weekly basis. You don't care. Bullshit. If all our calls were not recorded and it wasn't unprofessional, I would go off on these people. Right. I don't care. I have this job because it pays so much money and it's so easy and I don't have to care. I listen to horror stories about abuse and sobbing and screaming and threats eight hours every day five days a week because I don't care. I take between twelve and eighteen calls every day. We'll say I take an average of seventy five calls in each work week. I listen to seventy five different stories and different pleas every week because I don't care. Right.

What the fuck ever.

This day is fired. My car is injured, I have cramps, and I have no cigarettes or lunch and this is all fucking bullshit.

Your HUGE paycheck! Hah. I love that.

I say we run away to Italy for a month.

Oh, most definitely. I'll just call it "research" or something.

I don't know if you read Vanity Fair, but they have an essay contest every year, and this year the prize is a huge chunk of money and a week in Italy at a writer's retreat.
