Stressed
I am so unbelievably stressed out right now. My job is getting more and more stressful, especially since one of my staff quit a couple weeks ago. So I am short-staffed, struggling to learn all the new stuff required by my new position, and desperately trying to find someone to fill the now open position in the box office. Today was just the last straw. I'm getting over a cold that I got from a coworker, so I'm coughing and sniffling-yuck. I started my period this morning- I've been having cramps all day, I'm so bloated and yucky feeling, and I was stupid and left the bag of feminine products (which I bought yesterday because I knew this was coming) at work so I had to deal with not having the right kind of products until I got to work today. That wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't had class this morning so not only did I have to get up at 6:30 am this morning (ok 7, I snoozed the alarm, sue me), but I had to deal with period anxiety as well. So work is a stress constant, and today was no different. I had to deal with several pain in the ass customers, I had to interview three possiblities for new staff (i hate doing interveiws), and the ever present swamped feeling that comes with my job. And to top it all off my dad called me tonight to tell me that my Grandma had a heart attack this afternoon. She is in intensive care now recovering from emergency surgery to clear the clott, and they think that she will be fine, but it still hit me hard. So yeah. I'm done complaining, I was just freaking out, close to tears, and needed to get all this out before I exploded.
