The Promised Follow Up.
Here is the promised follow up to my 4 am spat:
I stayed on line for a few hours. I again talked for quite awhile with Mr DPERRY (I dunno why, but I like calling him that... or Jesus!) Things in the world of DPERRY are seemingly well. Crazy white boys... Hah, gotta love 'em!
So, after about two hours of conversation with DPERRY the phone rings. I think to myself what the fuck, who the fuck, what? Its to early. I jump to answer it as no one calls this house that early generally unless is super important or an emergency. Its Jen. Jen is a fellow ginger kid, co-worker of mine, whom I adore to death but too often butt heads with as our similar personalities often clash, severely. Jen, as dear as she can be, starts in on me about getting called into work and how she is still not feeling well and how desperately I am needed today. Regardless of how badly my care providing skills are needed I tell Jen that lacking as much sleep as I am that there is no possible way that I am going into work. Then completely changing her tone she apologizes, and tells me that she is about to piss off everyone at work but informs me that I am needed so badly because all of my first shift co-workers and dear lady residents have been planning a surprise baby shower for me for over three weeks now and that the residents have been anticipating this event and cannot wait to surprise me with this little party! Immediately I felt like the lowest of the lowest ass holes. I have not called into work since Jan. 20th... then, the one day that I really need it all these wonderful people have all these surprise plans. I mean in all honesty if it was something my co-workers planned they all understand a little more than some people, but the fac that a vast majority of my lovely lady residents participated in the secret planning of these events completely touched and warmed my heart!
Jen and I did what us gingers do best and conspired a way for me to go into work... Mind you I still had my lousy 30 minutes of sleep all night. AHH! Shoot me! I felt horrible knowing a majority of the details of this little event, but none the less I put on a classic clueless act for all of my dear residents.
The little event that they all so "secretly" (until today) planned was the sweetest thing ever! There is an activity room at the Meadows and my co-workers decorated it with confetti, balloons, the most beautifully tacky dollar store decor they could have possible found; which made the entire atmosphere that much better! All of my first shift co-workers (that matter) & housekeepers were there, the Director of Activities and her Assistant, the amazing ladies in the kitchen, and one my friends from second shift, my supervisor, as well as the Assistant Director of the entire facility... Plus all of my lovely ladies that I take care of every day! I got some beautiful gifts from everyone, and my wonderfully thoughtful and kind co-workers on first shift all gave me this HUGE basket filled with wonderful goodies, toys, and gifts!!! The lovely kitchen crew, mostly Fran made me the most enormous one layer cake I think I have ever laid eyes on. Now I will be eating cake until the baby comes out; lol, I have left overs! Its wonderful! I am thinking about dipping into it right now.
Anyhow to wrap up my eventful & sleepless day Jen followed me home and helped me bring all my loot inside!!! Woot for loot! Skot and I sorted it and I passed the fuck out for about 4 or 5 hours... I don't even know. Now, I do know that I feel refreshed, and energized, and that I will more than likely be staying up later than I wish tonight, and at the current moment that my left over cake is calling my name!
