Mad. Pissed. Ticked-off

So, Tammi? How'd your meeting go this morning? Weren't you meeting with your largest customer for the first time? Doesn't he have a bit of a mess on his hands?

Why yes, that's all true, thank you for asking. Let me tell you about this meeting.

Started out, waking up at 4:30 this morning. I was pretty wired thinking about what I was going to be facing so I just got up and got going.

I dressed in my favorite plum suite, I needed every bit of confidence I could muster.

However, had a bit of a headache. My headaches originate for an old injury (sister shot me in the head years and years ago) and only give me problems when my blood pressure goes up.

This morning? Yeah, the pressure was up a bit.

So I look all professional and get on the road. I'm as ready as you can be, just aware of the fact that it won't be a love fest.

As I sit in the meeting my headache worsens. Finally, he pulled out this one piece of paper and WHAM!!! I cannot see out of my right eye. That fast. I can feel that same eye twitching.

This is bad. This is REALLY bad.

The customer even noticed. I just joked it off and went on with the call.

The drive home? The longest hour of my life - so it seems.....

Now, reports are filed, lots of shit to do, but I can't really see the computer screen. I've taken some meds and am hitting the hay for an hour nap. Then? I gots me a hair appointment. I'm starting to look blonde, and I don't mean that in a good way. I have calls all week - I can't look like this.....

But damn. I'll just say this. If I did my job like the person in this area did before me.........I couldn't look myself in the mirror. And that son of a bitch better hope to things good that I don't ever find him.

And no - that's not just the pain talking. I'm just that mad.....

Hope the meds kick in quickly and take care of it. Know what that's like and yucko, especially in the middle of a meeting.

But it sounds like you made headway with getting the account turned around. Yes?

Tammi,
Take two handsful of LeeAnn's hubby's butt, and call us in the morning.

... not that it'll make your headache go away, but hey, what'll it hurt?

You just drop something like "my sister shot me in the head" and make no more mention of it?
