Okay. For the five HUNDREDTH time...
Dear family.
When I am at work, my cell phone is to be called ONLY IN CASE OF EMERGENCY!!! I am not supposed to have my phone at work, but the boss has made an exception because she knows that my Mom or brother may need to call me for something important. The privilege will very likely be suspended, however, if I am caught abusing it. So. Please, please, PLEASE stop calling me to ask me stupid questions that could wait for another time. Or, if you MUST call me in a non-emergency capacity, use my work number.
And another thing. When I am at work, I have no idea WHAT is going on at home. So, if you can't get hold of Mom, calling me isn't going to leave you any less in the dark. I'M AT WORK! I DON'T KNOW IF MOM IS IN THE BATHROOM AND CAN'T ANSWER THE PHONE!!!
On a related matter: Dearest ex-stepfather-type-person. You know what? YOU don't have a job. Which means that if you're concerned about Mom's health, or want to know if she's okay, it is SO much easier for YOU to get your fat, lazy ass out to your truck and drive over there to check on her than it is for ME to take time off of work to drive home and find that she was taking a nap and didn't hear the phone ringing, or that she's online and thus has the phone tied up. My boss also doesn't take too well to me taking early lunches just because my family's freaking out when someone hasn't returned someone else's messages RIGHT AWAY.
Can I apply for a transfer? PLEASE???
