tiamatladyI like CPA#2, but I HATE his office.
I just noticed, over the door of the Bitch (And she is. She's been mean to me since day 1, and has alienated some of CPA's clients. My hell client won't let her in the door, the president calls her "the bitch" himself.) staring at my back
- an autographed picture of The Shrub and the Failure as a Woman.
I'm ready to puke.
AND the other guy, who was nice until we had a HUGE argument when I said "My friend is risking his life for OIL, and nothing more." (He told me I was naive and stupid, and that "war" meant MORE than just oil, and the President was right. Obviously, I listen to nothing he says anymore.) was running around last night saying how much Kerry sucked.
I walked in to get a printout and had to listen to the Republican rhetoric in the office. That while Bush "wasn't the best" he certainly knew what "we Americans" wanted. I just looked at the two of them and said "You guys are nuts." I wanted to be given the opportunity to say "ANYONE But Bush, 2004."
I also want to look at the former nice guy, and ask him what kind of world he wants for his daughters (He has triplets. I can tell his younger wife's biological alarm clock went OFF, and *whoomf* fertility drugs later, triplets. They're pretty cute, for the most part, although one resembles HIM a lot, which is unfortunate) I mean, do HIS daughters deserve the kind of rolling back to "family values" that will have them getting illegal abortions if Roe V Wade goes? What if THEY want to joint he army? or get drafted? Will it be unfair THEN, when it's HIS kids?What if one of them is gay? Does he disown her? What if she wants to get married? (Of course, he called gays "disgusting" so I suppose it won't be a problem for him) I can't believe he doesn't see how HIS beliefs, will harm the future for his daughters.
He tells me my Ranger made his choice, and has to go with it. I REALLY want one of his kids to make that same choice. I want to cut out the article I read yesterday about the family with three girls, and older one and a set of twins, who all joined the Reserve and were ALL called up to go to Iraq. One of them is dead, killed over the weekend. The other two are home for her funeral, and are require to go BACK to Iraq once they're finished. The family is petitioning the Pentagon to allow them to stay home. They've ALL been gone over a year.
I don't know if I agree with keeping them home - WHY should they be any different than any other volunteer? (Like former Nice guy says, they made their choice) but I can't help but feel bad for them.
Of course, hearing about a Major guerilla attack in Afghanistan, against an elite Airborne squad, one of the ones Lou could have gone to, and MIGHT still end up at, might have something to do with it. It sucks that I can feel that the poor Army units sitting in Iraq are a DISTRACTION and cover for some OTHER stuff going on. That this poor girl, killed by a bomb on a convoy, isn't any more than a statistic. I know Lou's home (Not that I've heard from him, and, oddly enough, I DON'T want to call him.) but it's WORSE knowing where he wasn't, and that he MIGHT GO BACK into all that. The idea of him as a warrior is one thing. Him as a sitting duck - well that doesn't sit well at all.
I want Former Nice Guy to have to look that in the face. Maybe then he'll get over that attitude of his. The election is going to SUCK because of guys like him. *sighs*
Now I'm depressed. I need a shower, and out the door.
