Fuck. Now I'm really angry at myself. The fact that she was swearing and screaming at me shouldn't play in. I'm supposed to be better than that. But I have been going to bat for this girl for MONTHS. She owes $3500 in back rent, didn't bother to show up for court today, her 15 year old has been breaking into apartments and stealing, and ... all of that doesn't matter. I lost my temper and I shouldn't have. I should have been better than that.
I think I really need out of this job.
I might have just lost my temper and called a soon-to-be former tenant a whore.
Or you might have just told the truth.
It's budget season here at the library, and I don't completely understand how people get raises here. And I need to understand so I can address an equity issue I see looming on the horizon.
Daniel, much ~ma for your sister. That must have been scary beyond belief.
Fay, since ~ma is infinite, I offer you even more ~ma for your Kenyan friends. The brother is definitely one hell of a good bloke.
Suzi, you rock! You will knock the new boss dead, they wouldn't have offered you the job if they didn't think so.
Aimee, having been there done that, I have nothing to offer except sympathy. I don't know if it's too late to offer an apology, especially since some folks just can't (or refuse) to accept an apology, but you can try. Good luck.

I was gonna go the route of, "I didn't say 'whore'! I said 'bore'!"
Gronk.
I'm finally heading to bed. Even for me this is a messed up schedule to be keeping.
Seen on CNN this morning
"Ron Paul: My Movement Won't End!"
Please say I'm not the only 12-year-old around who snickers and thinks, "You should probably see someone about that, Ron."
That's exactly where my mind went, flea.
I'm gonna be bossy with our (limited) budget and say that Zmayhem will definitely and unquestionably be taking a trip up to Seattle this year, because those are ridiculously cheap tickets (I just looked and was quoted $77 each way, but that's still ridiculous in a good way) and it's rental-car-driving distance from Portland, which has also been on our must-visit-soon list for far too long (and tickets to which remain ridiculous in a less-good way). We just have to get a calendar and start plotting.
