oh, shut up — Page 35

To the higher ups in my mom's company. She works in a day program with developmentally disabled adults, and the weather was horrible yesterday, so they didn't have any of their clients come in yesterday. However, these people insisted at first that they had to keep the program open until 4pm. There was nothing for anyone there to do, plus they didn't get the money they would get for having their clients there. And my dad was telling my mom when she called that she might not have been able to get home at 4. Fortunately, they were able to close at noon instead.

Shut up my friend's boss who almost fired her for no good reason today. She is an AWESOME employee, she works way longer hours than she is paid for, and you are a huge a**hole. Shut up for making her work tomorrow when she was supposed to come visit me and ruining my whole weekend in the process, because I am stuck at a school three hours away from any kind of civilization, stranded without a car, and I was really counting on her coming this weekend. ARGH!!!!!!

To my friend who constantly updates his Facebook with the most mundane statuses -

SHUT UP.

Do you really think that anyone on Facebook cares if you're awake, or waiting for your roommate to make tea because you're too goddamn lazy? What especially grinds my gears is when your status reads something like this "I'm in trouble but don't ask." Okay. Then why post it on Facebook unless you want people to know? You're such an attention whore and I wonder if you actually realize it.

I almost called you out for it today, and you're lucky I didn't tell you to just shut up. I'm not saying updating Facebook is bad, everyone does it. But no one gives two sh!ts if you don't feel like going out to run errands.

P.Marv - that's an . . . interesting attitude to have toward a 'friend'.

You can always hide his posts, instead of blocking him. I do that to people who post too much crap.

I am just ready for everyone here to shut up. The countdown is on. 7 weeks. Maybe the kid can sense it and he's lashing out at me. There have been so many attacks lately. He got me in the car while I was driving full speed. He had two hands full of my hair yanking my head back and forth while I am trying to get into ANY parking lot. When I finally did, he had me pulled so far into the back seat that I couldn't reach the gear shift to put the car into park. I sat there, trying to get him to stop pulling with every ounce of his 210 pound, 5'11" body, standing on the brake. I finally got free, threw it into park and jumped out of the car. He tried to kick the windows out to get to me. His father came and got him. There was another incident with his father when we got home. Disney was okay, only two small incidents. Last night, I had to shave his face. He giggled through the whole procedure. Then when I was putting the razor away, he got pissed off and started biting himself. When I tried to calm him down, he came after me. I got punched, pinched and bitten. Now tomorrow night I know his parents are going to expect me to drive him 30 minutes to speech and 30 minutes back, alone, in my tiny car. I don't think it's unreasonable to ask that one of them come home early and take him with me. I can't be in the car alone with him for an hour. It's my job, I know. I am more than willing to watch him at home and even take him somewhere nearby, but I think asking me to maneuver the Garden State Parkway to a place he doesn't want to go is a bit much. Give me some feedback, friends. Just to prove I am not a drama queen, I wanted to show you some pics of my arms from two of the latest attacks.

Right forearm a few weeks back:


Left forearm currently. This one doesn't look as bad because it isn't, but there's a huge knot and it's much more bruised than it looks:


I had to go to the doctor for the right arm because the huge knot that stayed around for weeks freaked me out. Now I am not as scared of this huge knot. sigh.

No, you are definitely not being over-dramatic. I know the lady my mom works with where she works used to scratch and hit her a lot, but there certainly were no horrible incidents like you discribe. And anytime you have complained in the past, I was picturing a smaller child. Do his parents at least discipline him after he does this stuff?

Shut up to the houseguests who are, apparently, not leaving when they said they were.

Two rules:
Guests of guests may not bring guests
Do NOT overstay your welcome!

---

SHUT UP to my fear and my brain filled with doubts. You will not win this time.

---

Maybe I'm just getting annoyed for no reason, but when you have house guests for a few days, you don't expect them to stay in their room until you are up and making noise, right? My grandma is here now because she has no power. And, we don't care if she wants to stay up late or get up early. Of course, she won't come down from her room until she knows someone is downstairs already. So, me being a quiet person, I don't make lots of noise when I get up, and neither do my parents. And I don't want to feel rude by knocking on her bedroom door and telling her it is okay to come out. It's ridiculous. Nobody should have to do that.

To the guy on the 43 Masonic who forgot to take his meds: SHUT UP ABOUT MICHELLE OBAMA SMOKING BLACK CIGARETTES.

Seriously?!? It's not so funny but yet you laughed after every time you said it. Why?

To the Espresso Chip Lady: SHUT UP! When I serve you your 3 dollar scoop of espresso chip ice cream, take it! Don't complain because I don't give you the portion you want. If you want a larger portion, come back tomorrow when someone who gives a damn is working!!!

To my playwrighting Facebook friend, who's show is now playing in San Francisco:

SHUT UP! We all know your show is playing! You don't have to update your status every other minute!

---

Shut up to that kid who ALWAYS has something to say during drama club and tries to play director and makes unnecessary comments. It's like you're five years old! Agh! It annoys the excrement out of me!
