Evil Voodoo Woman
Warning.... I'm going to rant and rave a bit because, if I don't, my head will explode and all those thoughts will be set free to populate the earth and it ain't gonna be a pretty sight.
EVIL VOODOO WOMAN. I call her that even though I doubt she does voodoo or is really evil to anyone other than me but Evil Voodoo woman she has been christened. Why? You may ask and who IS the Evil Voodoo WOman and why should we care?
Some history.
Once upon a time the husband had an employee that actually got paid to work for him unlike moi who gets paid in kisses. Ever try to pay for something with a kiss? But I digress. So the husband had an employee who was and is... EVW... I get tired spelling out Evil Voodoo Woman. EVW did not like me from the start. Whenever I was in the office, she'd glare at me and snap at, The husband. The one time I tried to make nice, turned out to be a disaster of major proportions and something not to be contemplated again.
I wasn't the only one on EVW *hit list. She got into a screaming fight with the guy in the next office because he slammed a door and twice the husband had to send her home because she arrived at work in a snit that grew as the day wore on. Her apartment complex threatened her with eviction because of her behavior. For some reason she slept in the living room of her one bedroom apartment and when people came home they slammed their doors and so she got up and slammed her door in response. She snarled at me one day when I 'slammed' a door only I hadn't slammed it, actually, it just closed a little harder because the air conditioner was on in the office and always sucked the door closed. Mostly I didn't like the way she talked to the husband, treating him like a nincompoop when only I am allowed to do that. I married his nincompoopness not her. And before anyone thinks my dislike of her was because I thought she and the husband were, or night have and affair, let me dispell that right now. The husband would never have an affair with her because, quite bluntly she is unattractive in that evil voodoo woman way and is stupid as a rock. I mean she married a guy who she told me was a pig and then wouldn't have sex with him because he didn't want children AND she stayed married to him for 10 years. She also lived in Hawaii and NEVER WENT TO THE BEACH ONCE and yet 15 years later is still toting around Hawaiian phone books with each move.
Sothe husband finally managed to get her out of the office and me in .... which did NOT make her like me any more... and he was ever so surprised at the way an office should be run that he is still commenting on it. He can give me every task he wants me to do in a day and doean't have to oversee my work or constantly instruct me. I've also cut our supply bill by more than half. The work gets done correctly the first time. The work gets done swiftly and I DON'T GLARE at a single person. What really floored me was that the woman used Microsoft word but didn't know about the clipboard feature, which is why I thought she was using word, or.... and this is really really hard to belive KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT CUT AND PASTE! I swear. Once a month she used to update clients records with court records gotten from an online site. Each month she'd print the whole damn thing from beginning to end and sometimes it ran pages. When I took over, I suggested to do it once a week and then asked if he needed everything or just the new stuff and he told me that it had to be everything because EVW said that was the only way to do it. Now our weekly updates run a single page each.
I'm getting to the point I promise.
So EVW left but she wasn't out of our lives. Every once and awhile, she and the husband would go to starbucks for coffee and gossip and the husband still felt responsible for her, in a way. ANd so, I was able to follow the whole EVW story . She lost three jobs in one year. They were all because she got into a fight with someone or threw one of her fits. The apartment complex told her they would not be extending her lease so she moved into another place, pulled the same crap and was told to move on. She rented a room, was asked to leave and then was fired from a job that she had held for almost a year. Again it was everyone else's fault. They were all picking on her because she was asian etc etc. Ignoring the fact that she glares at people as often as she breathes.
So she loses this last job for threatening a coworker and then her roomates throuw her out of yet another place adn she's faced with homelessness. NO I have to say that all along the husband was helping her with money to the tune of almost $2,000.00. We had the money then from a re fi on our house and it was done without my knowledge. I doubt I would have thrown a fit because I don't want to see anyone homeless either even EVW but she was only BORROWING it. (right) This last time, we had no money to offer and so with a stroke of luck she managed to rent a niche. A small hastily made 'room' of sorts next to the furnace in the house where she had once lived before, owned by a guy she had once dated but didn't like. Can you see where this is going? She got in a fight with the guy who threw her out and she ended up in a homeless shelter where SHE FOUND HERSELF A BOYFRIEND!!! I swear to god. When she described the bf to the Husband and he passed it on to me it sounded as if she found herself and imitation the husband. The boyfriend had found a job and a place to live and so she stayed at the shelter.... till... she got into a fight with someone and the shelter threw her out. She moved IN with the boyfriend, and tomorrow they are being evicted. She gets unemployment and her expenses are a third of her income and and were even less while she was in the shelter but she's let her car insurance lapse and the rent on her storage unit that holds her furniture and she's hiding her car because she hasn't made a payment in months and they are looking to repossess it.
And so here we are, she on the phone with the husband during working hours pissing and moaning about her lot in life and then she and the boyfriend on the cell phon e pissing and moaning to the husband once the work day was done and we were on our way to run a few errands before heading home. pisspiss moan moan.
I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!
Back when she was living in the niche the husband was so worried about her being homeless that he was actually losing sleep and then some health issues cropped up and he told her she couldn't keep running to him with her problems. He's on meds now but still we have our own worries to keep us occupied. And as much as we feel guilty about not offering to take her and her boyfriend who I refer to as Poor Dumb Sap in, we have to cut the cord. Yes D-E you told me to do that some time ago. This time, the Husband has said it and has said that her friendship is too expensive and too one sided. I suggest that he call and tell her that but he says he's going to let it fade away but he's said that before and here we are dealing with this crap.
I don't know what they are going to do and while I feel sorry for Poor Dumb sap anything we do for him we'll be doing for her and I can't have that any more.
So there is all is. If this were fiction it would be rejected as too implausible. I wonder if there is such a thing as an Evil voodoo Woman repellant. I'll need a barrel of it.
