LOSING YOUR SHIT

[username]

I've been helping this 50 year old woman lately. It started with rides here and there, then it was helping her learn how to at least press the talk button on her cell phone and now she's signed up for classes (beginner) to learn how to use her MAC. I took her down to the Apple Store and she asked me to stay with her but I said I was sure she could handle it, just give them her name etc., they'll look it up and get her signed up. So off I go and 20 minutes later, I hear "Sue, Suuuuuuuuuuuueee" from across the store. She's having a fucking melt down because they can't get her signed up so I had to get between her and the salesperson and we got it all worked out in about 2 minutes. She stormed out of there and the salesperson kept apologizing to me because he wasn't able to help her and then he said she pushed him. SHE PUSHED HIM!!! I was freaking horrified. Anyway, now they want me to stay with her during her classes. I took her stupid MAC home and got it all straightened out (it didn't help that she kept saying her ISP was Comcast when, in fact, she has Verizon). Got her an email address (and even a gmail address for junk mail although I can't imagine her using it). God damn, it took me 30 minutes and 3 pages of her taking notes to teach her how to use a damn MP3 player I set up for her. I finally told her to take the damn thing out for her walks and just push buttons. It's not like she was going to break it...she's all happy now listening to her music (when she's not pushing innocent salespeople around).

And she's come pretty damn close to losing it with me on occasion.

I've adopted a complete nut case. No wonder I have no time anymore.
