Today was one for the books!

I think every day around here is beyond weird, but today was a topper, for sure!  The previously mentioned person who wanted everyone to view his stubbed toe was sitting in the lobby when I walked in this morning.  He had apparently arrived sometime before 8 a.m.  Not long after I got here, I overheard him talking on the phone, when he mentioned that he was going to be here until 4 p.m.  Without a doubt, 8 hours of him in the lobby is cruel and unusual punishment!  Then my co-worker mentioned that he had been laying face down on the floor this morning.  (This is oddly becoming "normal" for him.  He claims he's having seizures.)  I would have to be completely unconscious to lay on this floor...it's totally disgusting!  She told him he needed to get up and sit on the bench.  This only served to set him off on  "I'm sorry.  I didn't mean to bug you", 17,000 times.  If he hasn't already bugged you to your breaking pointing, his non-stop apologies are certain to push you over the edge.  A bit later in the morning we hear "Hey!"...."Hey!", only to find him once again laying on the floor in his spread-eagle position.  She just told him to get up and have a seat.  While I was gone to lunch, she sent me a text saying he had done it two more times, so she called 9-1-1.  The paramedics came and he did his thing for them outside on the sidewalk.  They came in and said that he wasn't having seizures, which was confirmed by his doctor.  It's sooooo exhausting dealing with people who will do ANYTHING for attention!

In case it hadn't already been a weird enough day, I got a call from one of the supervisors, saying that the driver of the bus coming from Leavenworth (30 miles away) had gotten halfway back to Wenatchee, when someone said "who's dog is this?"  Apparently the dog had gotten on at one of the stops, but the owner had not.  This particular dog is well-known around here, since the owner claims it's her "service dog".  The only problem is, she always has it dressed up...in a swimsuit, halloween costume, sunglasses, snow boots....and pushing it in a stroller!  You get the picture...not so much a service animal as a toy!  So, between tending to the attention-seeking dude and the t-shirt-wearing chihuahua, I was ready to call it a day about 2 p.m.

To add insult to injury, I'm working Tuesday through Saturday this week, so I am just getting warmed up on what promises to be another fun-filled week!
