20 more minutes, please!

SOn is bored again so he has agreed to pick his sister up from her friends house and take her to her pep rally. I'm so greatful he's doing it for me. When he gets home from taking sister to her pep rally, he's going to put new brakes on my car. Yay! I like when he's bored!

It's my week to take call offs for work.. I alternate weeks with the DON and Administrator. Someone called me this morning at 5am. I was too tired to take the call, and I just wasn't ready to start my day!I wanted to stay in dream land where things can be perfect if we want them to be. I just let my phone ring and ring, and ring...until finally they hung up! The policy says that if the call off person doesn't answer your call, you're to call them back in 20 minutes...So I was thinking I'd atleast get 20 more minutes of sleep. But they didn't wait 20 minutes. They called right back! I buried my head under my comforter, curled up in the fetal position, and prayed to God to PLEASE Dear God, PLEASE make them quit calling so I can get 20 more minutes of sleep! I ignored their 2nd call rationalizing that I had ever right to ignore it since they didn't wait the 20 minutes. I mean what if I was in the middle of having sex, or taking a shower, or having my car towed? That's why the policy says they should call back in 20 minutes....not 10 seconds! So I ignored the 2nd call. They didn't call me back.....nope, sure didn't. Instead they called and woke the Administrator who in turn instructed them to call the DON. WHat he should have done was ask them if they tried calling me again in 20 minutes, like they're supposed to....and when they told him "NO" he should have instructed them to do so. Right? So anyway, the DON calls me, and I ignored her call. I knew why she was calling, and I didn't want to appear anxious like I was guilty of something, or something........She hung up. I waited about 1 minute and returned her call. I tried to sound all cheery, refreshed and awake.Like I had just taken a shower. I explained that I had been in the shower when she called, and that I must have been in the shower when the person calling off called....and I asked her "why would they call Administrator rather than call me back in 20 minutes like the policy says to do?" She agreed, and she was pissed at the calling off person for not following procedure, and even more pissed at the Administrator for being a "stupid son-of-a-bitch!" :O).........and so it goes...life in the big city.
