3 grouches of the day

1) Rotten singing moaning gym lady.
2) Judd
3) Blood drawers

Grouch #1: So I'm at the gym at 4:30 to do my 6 miles. I get the first 45 minutes done with no one else there. Then "the singer" arrives with her pal. Singer gets on treadmill 2 over and friend gets on elliptical trainer. Another mile down and I overhear "are you planning on doing the treadmill today?" didn't really hear what friend replied. I keep going. A few minutes later " are you wanting to use the treadmill today?" Again friend mumbles reply. So at this point I'm feeling a little guilty since you are only supposed to use a cardio machine for 30 minutes if there are people waitingbut there are 2 OTHER FREAKING treadmills said friend could get on they just don't have the bottle holders. After a few more comments of "if you were on the treadmill you could ...." I give up and hit the bike for my final 20 minutes. AND THEY NEVER USED THE TREADMILL. GRRRRR. This lady is really getting on my nerves.

Grouch #2: I get home and start making Logans lunch. I can hear Ronan crying downstairs.
thinking - ok are you gonna get up and get him or what?
Slightly hear Judd complaining to Ronan about him crying and "WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?"
Judd brings him upstairs and starts to complain that he was whining and crying for the past hour. Umm sorry dude you get NO sympathy from me. You KNOW he is a crappy sleeper and yet you continue to work until 2 am. There is no earthly reason you cannot get up and get to work by 10am. You could get your work done, be available DURING WORK HOURS for the 750 questions and or problem that come up during a day, and if needed stay after closing to "get the real work done I can't do while people keep interupting me" and be home by 10 pm to get a reasonable amount of sleep. NO REASON except that YOU CHOSE NOT TO. So don't complain to me that you get no sleep. Stick a sock in it dude.

Grouch #3: Blood donation. This is important to me for some reason so I try to do it as often as my schedule will allow. I am a very hard stick. I've heard the gamut of reasons from "tough veins" to "deep veins" to "rolly veins" . I ALWAYS tell them I'm hard. Once its in, I'm Speedy Gonzalez and sometimes even finish before people who started before me. so anyway I show up today, jump through all the hoops and they get started. I remind them: I'm really hard so if you have any concerns, please turn me over to someone who is really good.

Sticker #1 applies BP cuff,
I squeeze rubber banana and hold... poke prod, poke, hmm looks like this one is good. STAB, umm oops no.. wiggle, wiggle, move still no. Stabber #2 comes to take a look. Hmmm let just move it a tad this way, nope, how 'bout this way, nope. Out comes needle.
On to arm #2, BP cuff, squeeze, hold. "oh this is much better" Add some decorations to my arm to map the veins. STAB, um, er, nope. Stabber #3 comes over. poke prod poke prod, lets try right here, nope, here? nope deeper nope. Out comes needle
Sorry not in the cards today.
so now I look like a junkie with fresh needle tracks, purple surgical pen marks, a HUGE bruise on my inner elbow and two insanely neon green wraps. Oh so chic!

I guess I'm mainly grouching because I'm trying to do a good deed and I can't! GRRR

Ok I'm done grouching for now. Have Bunko tonight so going to pick their brains on who to vote for for school board and CCSD.
