I'm home (for a few minutes) from my trip and survived it. I'll post a bit more thoroughly when I get home from a visit I'm making tonight.

While I sit here, I entertain myself with a lemming pulled from rowandoll....

As for the trip...
How to make a Dolly feel inept:
A study in casual cruelty

• Give her an impossible task, and then announce that you're leaving to help 'important people'. Return after several hours and be generally upset that she's managed to accomplish the impossible. Assign two more impoosible tasks, announce that more 'important people' need help and leave again. Don't return until nearly 11pm. Upon your return, bitch at her for not having the car (that -you- had with you) loaded yet.
• While she's struggling to help unload gear and equipment that weighs in excess of what she should be lifting, comment to another how 'useless' and 'lazy' she is as though she weren't a mere two feet away.
• After she's been asked to get photographs of everyone, of the camp site, and of the other groups present... and equipped with a camera to do so... bitch at her about being 'in the way' and 'taking up [your] precious time'. Yell at her for taking pictures. Yell at her for trying to explain. And then yell at her for getting you in trouble for all the yelling you were doing.
• When she's hit the end of the day, and badly in need of winding, dump another pile of tasks on her and throw her out of the hotel room, telling her to come back when she's done. Yell at her for crying.
• While she's trying to scurry around and get more pictures the next day, loudly comment to everyone near you that she's 'utterly useless', and that she has no business being there even after being asked to help.
• After noting that she's unable to take sustenance, chastise her for 'wasting' food and money.
• As her functions become impaired due to lack of nourishment, make desparaging remarks about her pallor and lack of grace.
• When she's just prevented you from being clocked in the head by a falling limb, yell at her for getting mud on your shoes.

And before anyone over-reacts... Megan was not behind most of them. In several instances, she lept to my defense. The others, she did not see. But I needed to vent it all somewhere, and this place won. I'm going to go run my errand, now. I figure I'll be home again in a few hours. And maybe the urge to cry will have passed by then.

Among these people is one I once considered family. My 'value' to him is now evident. So I will no longer trouble him with my presence.
