Po-po? Fo' Sho. Oh no!
As I looked into the rearview mirror I thought "oh shit, I did NOT pay my truck insurance yet." And then I began to hope (in vain) that the policeman wouldn't pull me over. So I proceeded to drive real slow (I was in downtown SAvannah and the speed limit was only 25mph anyway). I figured if he did not go around me, then he was going to stop me.
Now they are doing a lot of construction along Bay Street (which is the main street besides River Street in the Historic District). So there is absolutely no where to pull over.
And then I remembered: I still had not placed my registration sticker on the back either. Well, that for sure was going to get me stopped. IT usually does. I registered the vehicle I just hadn't put it on the back yet.
AFter hitting a few of the stop lights, I saw the red and blues come on. Nice. So I drove a few blocks before turning since I was not going to stop right in the middle of the road.
I roll down the window and he tells me, "I hope you have this truck registered young lady." I told him of course I do, and we carry on a very short conversation while I show him my card, with my sticker still in tact. Thank goodness he didn't run my plate through the system as my insurance may have shown up as lapsed. He tells me to put the sticker on and I was on my way. I asked if he'd like to put it on for me but he declined. I would say the reason I think he declined but it might be construed as racist in nature and God forbid someone read it and get all bent out of shape. I would not want my blog pulled like Dog's bounty hunting show from A&E. (I have an opinion on all that business and some will not like it so I will refrain from laying them out in black and white, or whatever color I have on my blog).
So, as soon as I left the cop I called my insurance agent and paid my bill LOL.
On another note, I have some serious issues with the other girl at work. She keeps saying she is not the "lead" for the hospitals in this area, yet the main office seems to think she is, and she is acting like she is, and she keeps calling me with information that the boss has given to her. So I about blew my top because I am doing some of the work that, if SHE is the lead assistant or whatever to the boss, then SHE needs to do this shit. (I had to install a new monitor today which takes away from my commission. She says she didn't know about it but the boss calls her on everything. Also, in the past, the boss told her to install a new camera, she didn't know how to do it so she told me to do it, and I in turn refused, which forced her to do it but she wasn't happy about it.) So I called her and chewed her out. Basically I said if she was the lead person then she needed to deal with the technical aspects of the job. Not knowing how to do something is not a valid excuse. Fucking LEARN! She tells me she's not the lead, but I let her know that she is on the list for being the contact person in this area. I had a problem with this before because she was the last girl hired. Everyone else is senior to her. I felt like I should be the lead because basically I do all the stuff anyway. As well as being senior employee. But I got over that initially. I don't want the responsibility. For one thing I won't be getting paid more. Another, I don't want to take on the responsibility. Now I'm just pissed because no one will just come right out and say, SHE is the person to go to. Just fucking admit it, take charge and get on with it. Also, she picks and chooses what she wants to do as a lead and I disagree with that. Either she is or isn't in charge. If she is, she needs to handle it all. If not, then she needs to not do any of it.
THen I called my boss and chewed him out. I am sick of the lack of communication. Because when I call my boss, he feels the need to call the "lead" and ask her opinion, or tell her everything (even personal things such as things about my pay and health insurance), or keep her informed, and then have her get back to me. I dont' want to talk to her because she doesn't know much about the company or what I need. OTherwise I would have called her directly! Yet each one of the other photographers doesn't know what is going on at the other hospital (which we need to know since we all cover for each other and need to know what's going on at the other hospital). I told him that we needed to know who was in charge. She is acting like it, yet denies it, yet calls us about everything. He says she volunteered to be the lead (she denies it) so someone is lying. She wouldn't volunteer unless she was asked. So why was she asked over everyone else (there is another woman at the other hospital who is more senior than I). Regardless, I need to know who is in charge. And if it isn't me, why am I doing the work of someone else. Apparently he is going to get back to me. Yea, about as fast as he did when I didn't get paid. So, in the future I will not be fixing any problems. I will not be installing new equipment. I still don't know how to repair it all, but apparently "the lead" thinks I should do that stuff. Um. No. If I can learn it hands on, so can she. Oh, my boss made a point to tell me that she doesn't get any more money for being the lead. Which I don't believe because her sales have went down drastically. Plus I just don't believe a word out of his mouth. He is a salesman. Lies come naturally to them.
Maybe I"m making a big deal out of it. But it's done now. I bitched at who I wanted to bitch at and I feel better. I don't want the lead job. I just want to know who is doing it and that they need to do the shit associated with that title.
I felt guilty at first for yelling at her but now I don't care.
