The LIfe & Times of a Registration Clerk

By

There is a sign that says: Please Take a Number and Have a Seat.

Also there is a sign stating what documentation we need from you.

Do not stare me down and burn holes through me. If you see me on the computer and taking care of papers and answering phones and being the jack of all trades then "NO, I AM NOT READY FOR YOU"

Just because someone walks out of my office, does not mean you can walk right on in uninvited. There is a number system people. I will call your number!!!!

DO NOT stand right at my window waiting for me when I am so obviously busy taking care of someone else.

Privacy is desperately needed. Stand the hell back!!!!

Do not expect me to read your mind. There is more than one reason why you could be standing there waiting for me.

If you don't know what you want then how the hell do I know.

There will be 10,000 interruptions and when that happens obviously things will take a lot longer than usual .

NO I don't have time to sweet talk you and smile and joke with you. I am here to register you and get you the hell out of my office so the next person can come in.

I have plenty of other things that are just as important and all should have been done yesterday, last year, last minute. You are not the only one in this world who has a problem that I need to fix.

If you see only 1 person in my office, things will take longer.

If you see people coming at me in all 3 directions and people calling me on all 3 phones at the same time, then obviously I will be getting a little testy. So shut the hell up and wait for your number to be called.

If I have to call out a number more loudly then you think I should, go suck an egg!!

If you are going to be late for your test, you should have come earlier.

I do have to take a drink, have a snack, pee, clear my mind, and vent some. I am a person. Not a machine. I can take only so much.

If you don't have what I need to do what I need to do and can't find the paperwork you think should be waiting for me. THINGS will be going ever so slowly. I don't have time to track down the whole entire facility and make 100 calls. Do it yourself. Here's an idea: Call the facility ahead of time to make sure your papers are there waiting on you.

Please know what the hell provider you went to because obviously I can't read a scribble and decipher a goddamn name from it. I have to get on the Internet and Google the facility and hope they have a website. Then load the site on my ever so slow computer and hope and pray I find the right provider. If I can't find the right one, I AM NOT REGISTERING YOU. I CAN'T PULL A NAME OUT OF MY ASS, PEOPLE!!!

AND OBVIOUSLY THIS TAKES MORE GODDAMN TIME THAN I HAVE TIME FOR.

However, if you are patient with me, I will be patient with you and be pleasant even though I am seething inside because of other people and employees, and different matters.

I need a drink........

Divorce

By
My mom and dad split up when I was 9 years old. The marriage was pure hell for them and me. Yes, me! I had to hear my mom crying late at night because my father was out after work doing god knows what. (Well, we know cheating was going on). When he was around it was pure hell. I walked on eggshells and was sick to my stomach most of the time. My father acted like he just hated my mom. I didn't feel like he liked me much either. I was the only reason that they even got married. There was so much fighting, crying, and my mother had breakdowns, and I had to hear my father force my mother into sex acts. It was all quite sickening. So when he did leave for good, it was a relief! Although, I was pissed at them both. Why the hell did they even get married? It was the end of the 60s and my father grew up with strict religious parents who instilled in him that if you knock a girl up; you marry her. So, that's what he did. And that was so NOT the right thing to do. Although, if he

My First Wallet

By
I signed up for a craft exchange hosted by Craftaholics Anonymous . This is my 3rd summer participating. I choose this small organizing wallet to make for my partner.  This is the first wallet I have made and I think it turned out well. I follow a blog called Sew Can She . They have many cool craft tutorials featuring different tutorials from other blogs. So, the pattern actually came from LBG Studio . Next time, I will know what I'm doing and will make a few changes.  Front view. Open view Back view Inside Left. Inside Right. The right pocket is just big enough to put a small memo pad in. Also the left side holds cards or whatever you would like. I think it's a really neat thing to have in your purse. One always needs paper for something and extra room for do-dads. Also, kids would love this. I'm going to make some more for the granddaughters.

Grandparenthood - What They Don't Tell You

By
Being a grandparent is great. I love it! But there is another side. A side that is never talked about. I am not the only one who feels this way. I ask other grandparents and they agree. When I had my 4 children, I NEVER worried so damn much about them as I do my grandchildren. I don't know why that is. Or at least I didn't until yesterday. I have a theory anyway. Will talk about that in a moment. First, I want to tell you that it's my 2 daughters that are giving me these grand kids. My oldest granddaughter is 2 1/2 years old AND I have 4 granddaughters. YES, I REPEAT I HAVE 4 GRANDDAUGHTERS 2 YEARS OLD AND YOUNGER!!! Now what is the problem with this? Well, since it's my daughters, I am worried and scared to pieces for them the whole 9 months and have to listen to them complain about everything that is wrong with them. I try to tell them things are normal, blah, blah, blah. But in my mind, I'm thinking maybe something is seriously wrong and it's my fault for t
