Rant/vents/whatever
I woke up this morning to an 8am phone call from a panicked work customer (for lack of a better term) saying no one from my staff had showed up to work. I had 5 minutes to get dressed, throw on make up, and look professional so I could run and help them out. The whole time I'm FREAKING OUT, because the person scheduled to work (we'll call her J) is THE most dependable person EVER. She's been working Sundays for 6 years without ever being late or missing one. She's well over 60 and lives in a horrible part of the city, but commutes in via several buses. So, I'm freaked. I couldn't find her phone number (and she doesn't have a cell), so I emailed my boss...who checks his voicemail and finds a message from her. From yesterday. Saying she had cataract surgery and can't see clearly yet, so she won't make it. Now I'm sitting here, with greasy bedhead, until 8pm - because he forgot to check his messages. I'M PISSED.
I had a breakdown yesterday about my job - poor H. I keep thinking 1) I'm in the wrong field or something since NO ONE will hire me, and 2) will I ever be happy? Will I always keep striving to advance? Why can't I just be one of those people that does the same job every day for 25 years?? H reminded me that my job sucks donkey balls, and he's sure I'll be happy in one that doesn't involve me being bitched at for everything that could possibly go wrong, EVER. *sigh* We'll see.
Lastly, I'M STARVING and would kill for some caffeine - but I can't leave the building since I'm the only one working. Today sucks.

ughh that totally sucks. Big hugs to you
Hang in there, and don't thing that you're asking too much to be happy at a job. You'll get there soon, don't worry.

Thanks, girls. Alise, I know you're right - but I'm just getting so frustrated. April will be 1 year since I started aggressively job hunting. And Sandra, unfortunately we're non-profit, so ordering things with office money is frowned upon - damn jerks! I did just get some chicken chili and a baked potato from Pockets with a GIANT diet Pepsi - I'm feeling much better!
And I totally wasn't trying to be a Debbie Downer! I was hoping you guys might add your rants/vents/somethings, too! Feel free so I don't make this face all day:
Coupled with the face I'm already making: 
, it's not a good combo. But only a few more hours of work until I can have:

I'll rant. We've got floor set tonight. I hate floor set. I have to be there at 6p and probably won't get home until after 1am. BOOHISS.
ETA: I'm leaving now and I swear it feels like walking to the electric chair. Which is dumb, but I really hate it.
