Just one of those days! TGIF

Last night I couldn't get any sleep because I had a nasty charlie horse pain in my leg. And I just had a massive dinner at Olive Garden so I felt like a chubz and thought the pain was a blood clot and I was going to die (I know I jump to the worst!)

So I was exhausted this morning but was happy I was subbing in the school that is right around the corner. I get to the school and realized there weren't many cars there. Then ring the bell to be let in and the secretary comes out and tells me I am subbing NEXT Friday, not today because they have no school! Then she tells me that she should get me a school calendar (I have one AND have this day highlighted because there is no school but decided not to take a peek at it apparently!) Then she talked to me like I was dumb and that she will write it down for me now...I told her I think I got it now! lol

On my behalf...last Friday when I subbed there she said "let's see if we have any jobs next week for you" and I told her I was available any day but Wednesday. So she said "How about Friday and Monday?" I agreed and then she told me the date for Monday and I remember her saying February but when I went home to write it down I thought maybe I misheard her because I thought we were talking about this week. hahah it makes sense in my head I swear!

Re: Just one of those days! TGIF

  • Sorry to hear about your leg.  I get those from time to time and I completely agree, they suck!  I tend to get them if I've been exercising and haven't drank enough water.  I try to eat a banana and drink my full water bottle for every session now.  The dang pain from that lingers for forever!!
  • "And I just had a massive dinner at Olive Garden so I felt like a chubz and thought the pain was a blood clot and I was going to die (I know I jump to the worst!)"

    That made me laugh out loud.... Wink

    Sorry you're having a crappy day.  And I hate when people talk to you like a child...they just need a good punch in the face.  I'm sitting here waiting for our secretary to come in...I have not spoken to her since I've been back at my old job (she's been in Hawaii) and she is the nosiest condescending loudest person ever.  I'm sick of talking about why I left my "new" job and came back, but she is going to play 100 questions with me as soon as she walks in.  Blah...

  • I'm just drinking tea, and staring at the computer screen. My sweet child called last night in a panic- She's 17 and with 18 around the corner, she's trying to juggle school, and a job, and well, life is hard, man. I was up late on the phone, helping her face the reality, and let her know that being a grown up sucks sometimes. For everyone.

    Slept through my alarm and skipped yoga (which is easy to do b/c I HATE yoga). So here  I am, waiting to start a very long day. 

    Hugs to all, TGIF!

  • Cipolla...I've gone back to an "old" job before and I felt like when people were asking questions they either wanted to have me worship the "old" place or say I told you so.

  • Ya I def. feel that way...  For the most part everyone has been VERY nice about it, lots of hugs, "It just wasn't meant to be" etc. but some people (like the bagel stealer) haven't said a word to me and just look at me like...I told you so. 
  • Man this is turning out to be the longest day of a very long week.  There just weren't enough client appointments, so the boss has been in our hair all week.  I had my usual rough morning--no parking, intercom buzzing like crazy, whiny clients...

    ...but one of them must have noticed how harried I was because as he was leaving, he made a point of coming into my office, looking me in the eye, shaking my hand, and thanking me for all the hard work I do for his case. 

    I know what I do is worthwhile, but it's really nice to be acknowledged and appreciated every now and then.

  • Sounds like a "take lots of deep breaths day" to me. 

    Here's to quick work days today and long restful sleep tonight!  Drinks

  • Ugh today hasn't been too hot for me either. I've been sick with the flu since Tuesday night and today is my first day back at work since Tues. I had 100 emails and questions waiting for me when I walked in. On top of that our boss sent out an email requesting that the admin staff record what we do all day (as in every minute of work needs to be written down and accounted for) - yes, its as stupid as it sounds. So not only do I have all this work but now I keep having to stop and write down what I am working on and how long its taking me. Everyone is freaking out that someone is going to get laid off and that is why she is making us do this, but my head hurts so bad and I still feel so sh!tty that I can't even care. All I want is my bad and some sleep.
