excerpt from conversation with Curtis:

curtis: how's the gov this morning?
me: ugh
me: i got here and he was freaking out
me: he was in my office calling someone
me: and hands me the calendar i printed out for him yesterday and was like "this doesn't help me at all-it doesn't have anything on it"
me: so i said "that's because you don't have anything scheduled today"
me: and he said "i have a funeral to go to!"
me: so i said "ok, you didn't tell me that. if you don't tell me these things, i can't put them on your schedule"
me: and he says "no time for that! where is the funeral?"
me: i say "whose funeral?" and he goes "AAGGHHHHH! Joe's mother's funeral!"
me: so i go to find the obituary on his desk but of course it's a mess even though i cleaned it yesterday
me: i come in here and print it out and show him and he's like "where the hell is that?"
me: i go to get him directions and he's like "i can't believe you were late TODAY."
me: i said "i almost didn't COME IN today but i did so i'm here so what do you need?"
me: and he gets mad, and says "i'll call you from the car for the directions, bye."
me: and so when he called he was a little nicer and he finally asked why i was late again and i explained that i was sick last night and i was thinking about not coming in today but i decided i had to, and he was like "you keep getting sick, why do you keep getting sick?" and i said "well i'm diabetic" and he was like "ohhhhh i didn't know that, you need to tell me these things."
me: so that was a little better, i guess
me: but i'm sure he's forgotten by now
curtis: yeah
curtis: crazy freaking man
