Terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day (Vent)
It wasn't really that bad, but I'm just depressed. It started when I went to the gym-I don't know why, but I'm having pain in my hips when working out and it frustrates me to no end.
Then I got pulled over on the way to work, fortunately I only got a warning, but I cried and cried.
Then, I got a call from a client who was strangled last night, tried to schedule her an appointment but couldn't reach her.
I had supervision and my boss started scrutinizing my time and how I'm using my vacation and such. I'm not in trouble (yet) but it basically means that the one perk of my job (flexibility, freedom, and no one asking me about when/how I get my work done) will be gone.
As I'm leaving the office for a private practice client, my other client calls in tears. I try to console her and schedule her for tomorrow. I then leave the office and try to race (without speeding) to my private practice client's house.
I realize I'm running late and call to say I will be about 5 minutes late. The mother answers, "oh, we had a meeting today? I didn't realize. Today isn't a good day honey. In fact, Wednesdays won't be good at all." Since when?!? We've only met on Wednesdays so far! ARG!!! Not only is that money I lost, but you are patronizing me like my time isn't important. I could have met with that client who is truly in crisis, but I didn't because WE HAD A FARKING APPOINTMENT!!!
So I go home and attempt to take out some stress by trying to power wash the stains off our concrete (I ended up asking a neighbor and they let me borrow their's).
Stains are still there. I'm exhausted. I'm depressed. I hate my job but can't seem to find another one.
Thanks for listening if you made it this far.

Agreed! You need some you time. Sorry you had a rough day. I know the feeling lately (a lot). Hang in there and get drunk in the meantime!

oh man. my solution would be wine... and that day is a 3 glasser, for sure.
I'm sorry your day sucked. Maybe you can schedule a massage to unwind, and maybe that will help your hips??
I hope tomorrow is better and your job will work with you so you can maintain that flexibilty that makes it all bearable!
cheers to you, friend. DH is pouring me a glass of wine and I'll toast to you - and tomorrow being better!
