Needs help.

Have you ever known anyone who begins their sentences with the verb rather than with the subject? I'm talking about completely omitting the subject of the sentence. So she goes around saying things like this:

Got an invoice today from...

Need to ask you a question about...

Wanted to know if...

Asking permission to...

I must tell you, it is maddening. Is maddening. Driving me nuts. Making me crazy. Killing me.

Here's the other thing - my shoulder is hurting again. I know you think I'm 80 years old, but I swear it hurts so bad sometimes I want to vomit. And I have a seriously high tolerance for pain. So the shot didn't last that long. And physical therapy didn't really work (and was on my nerves in a major way). So. What now? Maybe it will go away if I just ignore it. I will also try bitching about it NONSTOP. Maybe that will help.  

Here's the good news - I can't eat when I hurt like this. Maybe the Weight Watchers meeting this Saturday won't be such a disaster after all.

The same person with the sentence structure issue is obsessed with policies...writing policies, re-writing policies, talking about policies, drilling me about policies, calling other departments about their policies, etc. This is equally maddening, I must say. Occasionally she throws in the "procedures" twist, but typically she's all about policies. I just spent a good 30 minutes trying to trip her up on this policy she wants to implement. Good times.

She's also obsessed with her 1982 model adding machine, but I will save that story for another day.
