Facebook Note from 8/31/2010 ~ Personality Disorder

Today I had a constant string of disgruntled parents coming in my office needing schedule changes, demanding IEP meetings, not liking teachers on their kids' schedules, upset that it took them 2 hours in the registration line (I don't blame them!), etc. I had a woman with her daughter and 3 small kids come into my office and while the kids cried and destroyed the place the mom and daughter yelled at me (I'm sorry but not my fault that your daughter has been out of high school for 2 years due to three pregnancies)...

But anyway - towards the end of the day I had another mom/daughter come in and the mom was very upset and yelling about the way she was treated during fee day and she gets really close to me and yells, "My daughter has a personality disorder!!!!!" I say trying to be funny to relieve tension and because I was at the corner of "I don't give a rats ass" and "the apple didn't fall far from this tree" I said, "really? So do I! We should get along fine!" Mom immediately settled down and said, "Well I'm glad you can understand then!" hahahahaha ooohhh boy.

So mom sits down and we are sitting there going through the daughter's schedule and mom says, "So, what meds do you take for yours?" (SERIOUSLY???) I know I should tell her I was kidding - but I can't stop b/c I'm getting a kick out of myself. So I point to the almost empty jar of miniatrue reese's cups and say......"Chocolate". (She's got to catch on now, right?) Mom say, "ohhh...and that works?" ...again, I can't stop..."It does for me!" and then.....mom says, "Well I guess I heard dark chocolate does that but I don't want her to gain the weight with it."

Yes, Yes this is how I amuse myself....and yes, you're probably right.....I'm going to hell.
