Short note, it is late, the 12 hr shift as per usual a race from beginning to end. I want you to picture the typical movie tornado, ie: Wizard of Oz. Now, instead of houses and trees and witches flying through the air throw in people, thousands of them. In the center of the vortex, our staff. That in a weird sort of way is how today and tonight felt. Thankfully I had no wicked witch to deal with, just one arrogant man and more than a few medical calls.
I know I have previously explained my strange huggability, there was none of that tonight. Instead I must have had a sign on that read " Please whine and beg, it will make me say Yes." Umm..No. Sorry, that is a big giant No Can Do to the wheedlers who just kept thinking they would be an exception to a State Law tonight.
It seemed everytime I explained policy they thought I meant someone else not them. I know by the time the last wheedler tried I was getting tired of finding new ways to politely say no. Instead out came " I am not going to break the law tonight to allow you in. That's it, sorry.Please leave property. If you try another door you will be trespassing and we will call the police." I know..gee, I am such a hard ass...not. But when you tell someone something they do not want to hear, then to them you do become the green skinned cackler from the West side of Oz..
Telling people things and having them totally ignore you seemed the theme for tonight.
Rest well,
