wow. 5 years ago i was living in a crappy apartment that smelled. living above a woman who kept getting in "call the cops" kinds of fights with her.... ok, for lack of a better word let's go with "boyfriend." apparently before i moved in, some dude had thrown a molatov cocktail at the house, which subsequently caught on fire. (yet she wasn't evicted!?) while i was living there, she and her "boyfriend" got in a fight that ended up with her shooting him in the foyer. (i had been at work with the dog, and came home to a foyer full of blood and no idea how it got there.) she got evicted at that point, even though she was in jail for a while. she was only back for 3 days and REALLY manic and fired up. she had a loud religious meeting every night with a group of people who came over and screamed and yelled and sang. guess she was "saved" in jail. she moved out after those 3 days, thank goodness!
i was working as a Hospital Manager for a national veterinary company that shall remain nameless. i didn't have IBS yet- that would have been the next year. the hospital i worked for was run by an a**hole and when he sold the hospital to the nat'l company he stayed as Medical Director. it was way in the boonies and i had to drive 45 minutes to and from. about this time i started developing a rash every morning on the drive to work. (stress much?) the people were stupid and angry, and most of the clients either brought in "huntin' dogs" that they wanted to euthanize instead of treat, even for the most mild things (i can't even imagine how many dogs just got shot out in the yard), or they were Washington DC people with vicious pitbulls they had snuck over to our hospital because pitbulls are illegal in DC. i was to remain in this job 'til November, when i got transferred (at my INSISTENCE) to a slightly better situation.
i was dating and living with a perfectly nice boy i was no longer in love with but too confused to leave even though we made each other miserable. (he's still a friend and is getting married in 3 weeks! yay!)
and that about sums it up! (thank goodness that's in the past!)
