What pissed you off today?

[Kenna]

As I was using my special drywall cutting bit with a single speed Dremel to slice out spaces for the electrical boxes, I removed the Dremel from the sheetrock because it was kicking back too much, making a nasty uneven cut... and suddenly it shot the bit across the room faster than a bullet!! It didn't break off in the Dremel, it's GONE. This thing is shaped like a skinny drill bit. I don't think I'll ever find it. I'm thankful it didn't hurt my dog who was laying on his bed just a few feet from me.

I got pissed because I've invested a lot of money in my tools and Dremel stuff isn't cheap. It could have caused a serious injury.

I had to get tough with some consultants today. Their work has been late and below my standards lately. I hate having to get tough with folks but they pushed me there. Ugh.

Not pretty!

One of my residents came to me this morning to tell me she had an altercation with the police last night while coming home.

She was walking up the steps, reached the first of the double doors to get in, and heard footsteps running behind her. Two police officers were running up the stairs demanding her ID. She asked them to talk to her inside and went to open the door. One of the officers grabbed her arm and tried to pull her back. She pulled back and ran inside where there was staff. Staff asked the police what was going on. They claimed that they were looking for someone who had escaped from the hospital. When asked, they refused to provide their names or badges, just said they were state police.

The resident is a very tall very built dark skinned woman, very butch, wearing black jeans and a black hoodie. It was after dark. I really was feeling like she was profiled as a man. They were apparently taken aback when it turned out that she lived there in a women's housing building.

Anyway it all started to feel really shady that they wouldn't provide their names and badges. There was no urgency, the resident wasn't fighting or fleeing, she just asked to speak inside where there was staff and there were a dozen other women in the living room behind them.

Once they got to see her ID, they determined that she was not the person that they were looking for and they left, still without providing their names or badges. They left in two jeeps.

So I called state police, it wasn't them I called local police, it wasn't them. I called our advocate who works in the police station and she said she can't figure out who it is but possibly ICE. Tomorrow I will investigate more but I was so pissed that they chased her like that and put their hands on her and I don't even know if they were actual cops or random dudes in jeeps. They were wearing jeans and T-shirts and police vests with some sort of lanyard ID around their necks that they didn't show staff to take down.

We talked a bit about what could have happened if they had seen her in a different location, the corner store, whatever, if she didn't have a place with people to back her. Just... so wrong and I'm angry.

It was yesterday and it all started with a news report about the Opioid Crisis!
I don't abuse pain killers but now I have to practically kiss a doctors ass for a prescription for them.

Why is it law abiding citizens have to pay the price and be inconvenienced because of those who break the law? I've never cooked meth BUT if I need a antihistamine I now have to go to the pharmacy dept, wait in line, and ask for it instead of just being able to pull it from the shelf like in days gone by!

In Seattle, along 3rd Ave, there was a lot of drug use, dealing, etc etc going on inside of bus shelters SO someone got the bright idea to remove all the shelters leaving us law abiding citizens out in the rain literally! Why couldn't the police taken care of this illegal activity instead of once again inconvenience us who were NOT doing any drug activity?

And of course my last rant was once again against these IDIOT newscasters who insist on clutching an ipad while standing and reporting the news! What I wouldn't give for just once to see someone drop theirs and see the screen smash to smithereens!

So far today I have not turned on TV nor read a newspaper so nothing is pissing me off, at least so far
