#zoe works for zir grandfather

[cowboylikedean]

y'all my grandfather, who is dying and insists on having cnn on 24/7, keeps asking me why trump is trying to start a war with canada and he's like "did he start a war out of the blue sky??" like he doesn't understand because it's absurd and he feels like he's missing something on the tv. and i have to yell at him so he can hear me so he asks and i just yell back "YES PAPPOU, HE IS TRYING TO START A WAR OUT OF THE BLUE SKY!!!" and each time i get more angry and terrified.

okay y’all this is my last day working at my grandfather’s. in 4 hours and 10 minutes, i will leave here and only return as a grandchild visiting rather than someone going to work.

y'all last tine i restructured my grandfather's book, i kept all original versions in case i needed them for reference and i just made myself a note that i wanted to look at a previous version of a paragraph and i went searching and i FINALLY FOUND IT and it was helpful and i knew it would be

last night i’m having a night with myself excited that in the morning, i have nothing to do and i can sleep in and do the stuff around the house i need to do and have a stress free day... first one in a while. 

then my grandfather calls me and tells me i can’t work on thursday like i thought and i have to work today. so i’m like “ugh are you for real” and i push and i push and i tell him i don’t know if i can move stuff around and he stays firm. so i tell him i’ll try and i get everything ready to go to work and then i go to bed.. now i’m up and i really don’t wanna leave so i call him and ask if there’s any way i could work later in the wee and he says “okay thursday will be fine.”

WHAT WAS ALL OF THIS FOR??? 

[cowboylikedean]

TWO MORE HOURS

[cowboylikedean]

omg y’all

so i left work early on sunday and took it home with me. i did that work last night... well i get here and my grandfather tells me to finish it... which i did.... last night... so i had nothing to do. 

so i decided to go back and fix the spacing because open office (lol i know) does this weird thing when you copy and paste something where if there’s two spaces in a row, the second one shows up grey... 

now you can’t find and replace because this computer and open office don’t like that so you just gotta go through and delete the grey spaces. so i went though the entire 140 pages like that and he was napping beside me while i was listening to rainbow and lolol it was fuckin awful because it was pointless work and i could have done it really easily by just finding and replacing on google docs and copying and pasting the whole file but then i wouldn’t have had anything to do and i had to pretend to be doing something cause if he woke up and saw me on tumblr he’d get pissed

The way my Aunt Nicole and I both respond snappier to my grandfather after he treats the other one of us like shit is real family.

[cowboylikedean]

I have a great uber ride to work and then my grandfather tells me I can’t sit in the only chair that lets me sit up straight because it’s “his” and so now I have to be incredibly uncomfortable for no reason.

[cowboylikedean]

my disgusting grandfather tried to bait me into ‘admitting’ that women can be conniving ‘too’ today and backhandedly blame the women that bill crosby abused and raped implying that there were so many it couldn’t be crosby’s fault because there’s no way he control that many women without the women themselves wanting to be ‘controlled.’ 

[cowboylikedean]

my grandfather is disgusting and talks to other people with such disrespect

[cowboylikedean]

my favorite patient gave me a necklace!!!

[cowboylikedean]

I AM SCREAMING IN A BAD WAY

god i’m so DONE with my grandfather’s SHIT

like we’re working on this big project... he’s writing a book and i’m helping him get it in order and edit it and shit. s he’s gone over the introduction like a million times because he’ll be like “i want to go over it from the top” and we’ll sit with each other and he’ll read it and edit it and then he’ll lose steam at the end of the first chapter. and then a while later he’ll want to go over it form the top again. so we’ve edited that LIKE A THOUSAND TIME

so finally the last time I told him I wasn’t going to do it anymore and he’s like “you’re right it’s done” he went over it the last time and didn’t find any mistakes and said he was happy with it and asked me and i said “honestly, i’ve read it so much it just feels the same now”

so then he asked me to go over and pick the individual sections i want us to work on because i know what needs work.

so we’re in the middle of one of the chapters going through it and he does somme work alone yesterday.... BUT HE DOES IT IN THE GODDAMN INTRODUCTION and THEN he blames ME for the introduction not being the way he wants it as if that was MY FAULT even though we BOTH said we were happy with it a few weeks ago

i cannot wait to get a new job because i cannot do this anymore
