Camo Boots
There are certain qualities which exist in some people that I cannot tolerate. The thought of it makes my stomach turn, gets my blood boiling, my breathing more rapid.
One of those qualities is being a coward. Not owning up to your responsibilities and taking credit for your own mistakes.
Today was one of those days where I not only had to deal with an individual that possessed that cowardly trait - but it must have been my lucky day because I got to deal with two people which possessed that trait.
In the first situation - the person actually made someone else call me, they didn't have the guts to do it themselves. I answered my phone to hear that it was a nurse calling from our doctor's office, calling on behalf of the NP who had been seeing my husband - wanting to know how he was making out in the hospital. I let out a little snicker (one with a little attitude) and replied - I guess he is doing as well as can be expected considering he has a tube hanging out of his chest. Now I did not yell at the girl and was actually quite pleasant with her - after all it was not her fault - however, I made sure she was aware of mine and my husband's anger/frustration/disgust with this whole situation. She said that the NP said he didn't have to take the heartburn medication - again, I snickered and said well I would think not considering he doesn't have heartburn. The NP wanted him to come in for a follow up visit - I explained to her that it would not be happening and if I was able to get my husband to return to the office to be seen - it would no longer be with the NP but would be with the doctor instead - IF he will ever go back there. The woman on the phone completely understood. Still disgusted and disappointed that the NP did not have the courage to call us herself.
Then I received a call from the guy that I will be reporting into now for work. He is someone which I am familiar with. Someone which I despise. In addition to being a coward - he is a liar, a snake and is shady - more qualities which I simply cannot stand. He almost cost us the account that I work on - several times - over the past year and a half and the client despises him. Never once did he accept responsibility or ownership for his poor decisions - instead he pointed the finger at everyone else. This working situation is not going to work for me and following my husband coming home from the hospital - my re-invented career path is going to be pursued heavily. I don't know what that path is yet - but I will find it.
Makes me wanna kick somebody in the you know what...get me my boots.

Well those boots are scary but oddly a bit sexy as well. Go figure.
