need drink!
Late Saturday night, I got a bad feeling and after checking some stuff, my bad feeling was confirmed. I was going to have put out some serious fires at work on Monday.
I spent Sunday doing whatever ineffectual things I could do to try to make this first day more bearable: made the baby’s lunches for the week (took about 5 minutes since he won’t eat more than 300 calories a day), chopped stuff for dinner for the next few days, cleaned the bathrooms, did one pitiful load of laundry. I also fretted. A lot.
Sure enough, when I got here it was all like this and there were a bunch of these and maybe I yelled at some people. I’m not proud. I am, however, having some trouble quelling some homicidal tendencies.
I’m also starving because I spent all morning dealing with said fires and didn’t get a chance to eat anything.
Is it summer yet?

dude…you may want to rethink the google image search for that second link….
not trying to spoil it, but there’s some serious pr0n imagery in there.
(at least a NSFW-link warning….)

It’s times like this that I make sure I know exactly how many vacation hours I have, so that when I’m doing twelve things at once to try to get things back to sanity, and the wrong manager asks me when everything’s going to be back to normal, I can say something like: “Like I told you the last four times you asked me: It’ll be done in however long it takes me to do it, plus the amount of time you make me sit here talking about it. But if you really must have a tangible update, here’s one: I have XXX vacation hours accrued, and if people don’t leave me alone to fix this damn thing, I’m going to take them all starting NOW. “

Dude, not sure where you work, but I hope it gets a bit better for you this week. I’m sure it will…unless you’re unionized, then you might just want to take some people out now, it’ll help ease the pain.
