A cycle of irony

Irony: (#3) An incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result. - from Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary

I get overwrought, cranky & edgy after I work a nasty night shift. This morning is no exception. I am gritting my teeth with disgust. There's just this disgusting cycle of events. I need to work at Ingalls so that I have health insurance & pay child support.
THEREFORE:
1.In order to work at Ingalls I have to work 12 hr. night shifts
2.In order to work 12 hr. night shifts, I have to get my prescription amphetamines (known as Adderrall) or else I'll fall asleep at work and get fired.
3.In order to get Adderall, I have to pay $20 each & EVERY month to see a psychiatrist.
4.In order to see the psychiatrist I have to get a referral.
& TO GET A REFERRAL I HAVE TO STAY UP AN EXTRA 1 HOUR TO GO TO HIS CLINIC AT 8:15 & GET THE DAMN REFERRAL!!!!!!!!!!!!
What I really need is some weed or hash, which would make me smile a lot more than I am now. You don't need to get a damn referral to smoke weed, you don't need to stay up an hour over & above the 12 hrs of night you already worked. Just take out that sweet old joy herb, put it in the pipe, strike the match, feel the love, and wear a shit-eating grin on your face. I'm a firm believer in the slogan, "better living through chemicals!"
Oh, I know, I need both weed and Adderall. The Adderall for staying up and fulfilling my job at Ingalls, and weed for chilling out when I'm in a foul mood after work. Believe me THC is one of the better chemicals in God's green earth! I'm going to get my referral now, I'm going back to Ingalls @ 8:15 & the only thing keeping me awake on the way there is the anger & disgust I feel.

Hopefully, I'm pissed off enough that I won't fall asleep and run head on into the many semis I meet on the way there. ("When you got off work at 7:15am, why didn't you just stay at Ingalls and get the referral at 8:15 when the Dr.'s ofc opened????" you ask. Well, because I was in such a pissy mood I couldn't bear waiting for an hour holding my dick!

It's nice to hear from you. Well guess what, the marijuana discussion doesn't mean much because to date I haven't smoked any in a long time. It was discussed more for comic effect than anything else, but I'm sure you weren't laughing (but I do have other readers so maybe they did).

What the post fails to take into account is that night shift is tough. It forces you to take your endurance to the limit. As a result, you think extreme thoughts.
But then after you get a good night's rest, you don't feel that way, the crisis is over, and the feelings you felt that indicate a crisis, go away like bad gas.
The bottom line is that I have done well making ends meet, seeing my kids and of course going to work (I even got a decent evaluation and a raise at the hospital).
Also, many of the dire predictions that were discussed and said about my relationship back in March didn't pan out. She wasn't a criminal, I didn't get my apt. ransacked, I didn't neglect my kids.......
She's actually a nice person who I am still friends with. After things settled down in the relationship we saw the good things and the bad. She's not in good health and she likes her state more than mine so that makes continuing the relationship as we had, not very feasible.
I am always glad to read what you have to say. I think if you saw me in person you wouldn't be as critical as you are now. But obviously that is impossible seeing as you are married with children.
I think your views and advice are limited due to the things you don't know about me especially the things I do well. That's the way your advice has always been. No offense intended, and I'm not saying this to dismiss you.
