Really?? Some days it doesn't pay to get out of bed...
My day thus far...
-Woken up at 6am by a frantic employee who didn't get paid for some reason, and had their account seriously overdrawn when bills hit. Awesome.
-Had a huge fight with my boyfriend after being woken up by said employee. No, it is not resolved.. and I still have to go away for two days so we just get to stay hurt and angry with one another. Awesome.
-Found a rather cryptic and supportive message in my Gmail instant messenger when I went to see if there was news from our bookkeeper about the lack of paychecks for the employees... to discover that someone in the Alliance that I really loathe is taking a preemptive first strike at me, likely to prevent the official action that was coming their way soon... And ensue drama. So I'm defending myself now for being sick? Completely ludicrous. I do understand why folks might be frustrated by me being out of commission.. but frankly, trying to take action against me for that is beyond distasteful. Try saying: "Hey, I know you can't do this right now... how can I help?" instead of taking potshots at someone dealing with medical issues. What a douchebag.
-And finally, on my way to the office in NJ for two days.. where I don't want to be, to fire someone (at least they deserve it so I don't have to feel bad) and then deal with the backlash and emotions of the team. Also, terrified that I'll have yet another light or computer-induced migraine and nowhere to go to get rid of it, but it's at the point where I really have to be back at work in order to keep paying the rent. Fuck unexpected emergency surgery with no insurance... yeah, there went the savings I've been working on all year. Awesome.
I would really, really like to pull the covers over my head and make the world go away for a while. Fuck all this noise.
