Terrible Tuesday?
Hi Ladies! How is everyone doing today?
My day has started off well, but has the potential to be semi-crappy. I have a meeting at 11am and I routinely get told how I'm not doing enough fast enough, so it tends to put me in a sour mood. I spent the majority of my day yesterday working w/ someone who is new and is slow on the computer and just generally picking things up all around. Then she made a mistake, not a huge one but one nonetheless, in which I have no faith she was doing her work properly in the first place. She only works one day a week so I feel like we are going to be beating our heads against a wall for a bit. Sigh.
Hope everyone has a great day!
Re: Terrible Tuesday?
Work drama...boo.
My day is staring off awful because I bought the groupon for nordstrom rack yesterday but it is still processing. I have a dress for graduation on hold that I'm using it for but it's taking forever to come through and I'm afraid I am going to lose the dress. It's really stressing me out!
Hey! What happened to the "Terrific" part of this meme? lol
Working from home today is never a shabby way to start the day.
Eye appt this afternoon.
Theater tickets to Cincy Shakes "Merry Wives of Windsor" preview performance for tonight. (I have a spare set of tickets if anyone needs a cheap date night. PM me.)
Pretty empty in our office already so not many meetings going on. Tomorrow should be extra dead. I think out of my group it's just me and my administrator.
I'm feeling very sad for my sister whose bf broke up with her last night. I don't know exactly what happened but saw her relationship status change on fb and my dad IMed today to ask me to call her. She's a senior in hs and apparently part of the break up had to do with her bf figuring better to break up now than later since they'll be far apart in college (I think he's going to West Point). So crappy...and yet so real
. I feel like hs was forever ago so I'm not sure how to comfort her....any advice?
Latest Blog Update: Peanut Butter Cookie with Salted Peanut Caramel
My day has not been bad..yet lol.
I am just trying to focus on working only 6 hours tomorrow then being off for 5 glorious days!
Aww....that kind of stuff is so awful when you're in high school. Well, anytime really, but especially high school. What she needs most right now is probably just someone to listen and validate that yep, this really really freakin' sucks.
My Tuesday....it's ok. I had a great run this morning. Fantastic. Even though I'm fighting through a tylenol pm hangover. I'm just really not happy that all the weather reports are now saying it's supposed to rain Thursday morning. I wouldn't mind running in the rain, except last time I did (flying pig 10k) I killed my ipod. I refuse to run without it but I really don't want to fry this one too. (Although my friend ran the Pig with her ipod in a plastic bag and it was ok...guess I shall try that if I need to.)
I've been feeling really burned out on work lately. Yesterday sucked and I went home with a huge headache (hence the tylenol pm.) I go through phases like this; I've put in a ton of hours and I've had some super tough clients lately, and I know (hope!) that this is temporary. I do love what I do, it just sucks when I have those patches where work feels like fighting my way through quicksand.
Hopefully the 4-day weekend will get me through the next month of work....then I'll have a whole 2 weeks off in January! That's what's keeping me going!!
Today has gone from alright to crap in a matter of 2 hours. Argh!
All of a sudden our phones are blowing up w/ calls; I'm sure everyone is trying to get their requests in before the holiday, but way to wait til the last minute people! Fighting through some serious frustrations w/ this place b/c just when you think you're making headway, the rug gets pulled out from underneath you before you have a chance to blink. At the slow crawl of a pace this day has started off with so far, I will be lucky to have any sanity left by lunch time.
The good:
My Tassimo is fixed!! No more going out or doing without coffee.
The kitties got within a foot of each other last night and there was only one little hiss.
The bad:
I've been sick since Sunday. I have some kind of cold/virus thing.
BFF is still at the hospital with the tiny one. The still aren't sure what's wrong with her and the best I can do is text and call. I feel so bad for them and wish I could do more.
The ugly:
I have a report due on 12/15 and I haven't even started. The next couple of weeks are not going to be pretty.
Gotta pull the offer as I have to leave the house in a few and won't be able to contact anyone to arrange a meet-up.
