Why I hate "christians"

This is unfortunately too true.

Last night my Grandfather went into the hospital with Gall stones. Due to his Diabetes, high blood pressure, and other ailments, the doctors are unable to operate. The stones are also infected and he is running a fever of about 104. After getting off of the phone with my Grandmother who gave me the news I called my girlfriend, and then the owner and foreman of the company I'm working with to tell them that I wasn't sure what was going on, but I was only planning on working a half day depending on what progress was made during the night. I got the owners answering machine.

This morning he calls me to find out whats going on. Going on the basis of no news is good news I told him I was only planning on working a half day today depending on what news I heard from G-ma. After describing his condition and my plans his only response was to ask me if I could work an 8 hour day (instead of the usual 9-11 hour days I have put in for the last 19 days straight.) I reather testily replied "my grandfather is in the hospital" and hung up on the greedy fuck.

So I came very close to being unemployed this morning because of this. While working on the site he insisted on talking to me about it and insisted that I was wrong for being testy. He then went on to explain how he was a christian and didn't deserve to be spoken to like that.

Did I over react?

Things are unfortunately not looking good for my grandfather either. He is on morphine and is still in pain, my aunt is flying up from Fla. because right now there are no good signs coming from the hospital. I found this out after leaving work today at noon.
