Rhetorically Rhetorical

This morning I received a call from a neurologist's office. The nice fella on the other side of the phone stated that I had an appointment scheduled for August 7 but wouldn't you know it? The doctor is actually out of the office that day! Nice fella than literally asked "can we reschedule?"

I didn't miss a beat before replying "what if I say 'no'?"

Poor bastard. He paused for a minute in awkwardness so I hurriedly said "sorry, just checking. I always wonder what people will say if I say 'no, I won't hold' and that sort of thing." He told me that he'd never had that reaction before but he laughed.

But honestly, what am I supposed to say? "No, you tell Dr. So and So that she has to show up for my appointment because I scheduled it ages ago and your staff shouldn't have booked me in on a day she wasn't going to be there." I don't know why those courteous rhetorical questions started bothering me today but I assume I'm just irritable. I'm thinking more and more about ending things with Murdoch simply because I'm not getting what I want out of the relationship. But at the same time, I don't want to break up with him. So that's awesome.

Work is being all stupid and annoying as well. We moved to a new floor and whilst I'm in a better cubicle (it's large, has high walls, and includes a sliding shower door for privacy), I am also located too close to King Shit for my liking and just want to throw things at him. KC and the Sunshine Band is two cubes down and although I like her, I get annoyed with hearing her condescend to the developers and want to sometimes say "just shut up and work." No, it's not even that. A lot of the time she is right but I don't like the way she talks to and about the developers a lot of the time. It's just not nice.

I would suggest that I'm on my period or something, due to all this irritability, only I don't get periods anymore, not since the lovely implantation of the IUD. Instead, I think I just have to accept the fact that I'm having a bitchy day. Bitchy days are stupid because it's all about your own attitude and you can easily break yourself out of it by just removing your cranky pants. Only sometimes you ruminate and marinate in your crankiness and just feel like being bitchy. Then you feel bitchy and stupid and embarrassed.

And if you are me, you draw a picture making fun of yourself to tell yourself to snap the fuck out of it.
