so

it's rare that something happens at work that is honest to goodness funny. not inappropriately funny but really funny to the outside world. so in my line of work i occasionally talk to abusers. not because i really want to, but because i am the first line of defense on the phone. they're not usually fun, they're usually jerky or manipulative or pathetic. but on monday i talked to the best abuser ever. he was BRILLIANT! so brilliant that i wrote down some of his quotes while we were talking. i'll give you the gist of the conversation:
him: i didn't do what she said i did, even though i went to jail for many months because of what i did.
me: yeah, you can contact your attorney to talk about if there are steps to take.
so that's basically the conversation. for about 45 minutes (fun!!!) so at one point he was trying (i think) to say hypothetical. instead he said : "Hypothize…hypotheticalize…whatever" then, we kept talking (yay!) and he was saying that we (our center) had been working with his victim (something i can neither confirm or deny) and that since she was lying he thought we would want to know that for our "keeping track record of immaculate conception" and that we would want to know the truth because "you don’t want to be a rouge agency"

hahahhahaha

it's the only funny thing that's happened all week. tonight however i have this kid from my church coming over to do a sales pitch about cutco knives. some jerk i volunteer with gave him my name and he was sooooo socially awkward i couldn't say no. sigh. some days aug.22 can't come quick enough (last day of work)

oh lunchtime poll: a friend from elementary school is getting married, but her wedding is in san diego, on a friday the first week of class. is there any way i can go? i think not. sigh.
