Where everyone's 'gimme' button is stuck on over-drive, and my 'patience' button is stuck on off (thank you, Target, for letting me be employed The Year of the Elmo. It is a human experience I will never forget and that has scarred me for life).

That being said:

Dear nurse.

Trying to use that same christmas consumer 'what do you mean you don't have it I want it give it to me right now' voice on me over back-ordered dressing that you would use on a Target employee over that shitty set of Xmas dishes you have a coupon for? And then huffing 'well you NEED to get some more in right now!' in a tone that suggests you will be howling bloody hell if you don't get it right now (even though you were given something that works just as well in the meantime)?

Not going to work.

It might cause me to lose my job when I punch you right in the face, though.

Cut it out. I still can't shit back-ordered things out of my ass. Using your christmas-stressed voice to try and make me won't work.

Thank you.
Me.

(PS: Yes, I know patients are a lot more important than gifts. Still won't change the fact that I simply cannot get you what you want right this second because there is none to be had.)
