The 4th

Well, My 4th of July sucked big time.

I got 4 hours of sleep, and then went to church for rehearsal at 7:30.

Heard some stuff at church that makes me both really sad and angry.

I will just be praying over it, and for everyone involved, because it is just sad that the whole thing occurred.

Got into a fight with Jamie over a bookshelf.

We had agreed to put it into the music room where the couch is, and yesterday he decided he didn't want to put it in there, which made me feel like he didn't want me to invade "his" space. Then he complained about the clutter, which made me feel worse, because I feel like it's my stuff he's talking about. All he would say was "I can't change how you feel, but that's not what i mean."

It was ugly.

Had to go to work instead of any 4th celebrations.

As soon as I got to work, was told I had to change both sides of the marquee in 98 degree weather.

Thanks, boss.

Was called a bitch by a customer.

Yes, this one was pleasant. She walked up, handed me a movie, and says "it's late, and i want the fee waved." I asked her why. She says "because money is tight, and I don't want to pay it." I tell her, "It's only $2.59, and you don't have to pay anything on it today, you can wait until whenever." She says "well, I want it waved, or I'm leaving." And I say "Well, I'm not waving it just because you don't want to pay it. I have customers come in every day, who gladly pay their fees because they understand that it's their responsibility. If you car had died, or something had happened that you couldn't get it here on time, I would gladly wave it. But I will not wave it just because you order me to." At which point, she leaves, and when her 6 year old kid cries for his movie, she says "Well, you can't have it because that lady is a bitch."

I will say that I cannot stand that sense of entitlement, and if she had been polite, and nice and ASKED about the fee, I would have waved it. But I am not her slave, and I will not wave a fee, especially one of only $2.59, for someone who wants to treat me like that. I'd rather her not come back.

My boss is probably still going to be mad when she finds out though, that i didn't kiss her butt.

Oh well.

Then, at midnight when i finally got home, I thought the day was finally over, and then as I was going to bed, I realized that my phone was missing. I ended up having to drive back to work at 1 AM and get it.

OKAY. enough venting.

I made myself find some positives in the day last night. Here's what i came up with:

Singing with Misty, and making some awesome harmonies at church.

My nap before work.

My lovely husband having a fire and smores waiting for me when i got of work. That wasawesome.

I also made vegetarian baked ziti for myself! I used broccoli instead of beef.

It tasted wonderful.

Well, today is another day, and I am really hoping that it is a better one.

Sorry about the long vent session, but I feel better now.
