blargh. terrible week.
well, not terrible per se, but just......draining. the snow on thursday didn't help things. although the christmas music at work was pretty entertaining - for May.
My head feels like it's going to explode. There are so many things to do and not enough hours in the day. I'm flying solo at work now that Jodie has officially gone on vacation. I'm perfectly capable of doing her job, my problem seems to be that while I can do everything as I was taught - I see a billion ways that I could streamline the process. Granted, I'm just filling in for a week - what I'm doing isn't even close to being in my job description, they are just using it as an opportunity to help me learn all sides of the business, so I can see the value in it. Eventually I'm going to be writing all of the operations manuals for every aspect of the company - so the best way to learn is to be thrown straight into the fire. The atmosphere at work is pretty tense right now - with the offices moving over the course of two weeks, everything seems to be in limbo. I see the potential for a wee bit of a personality conflict in the office - fortunately I don't have to share work space with the individual. Ken and Theresa stopped in at Starbucks tonight to see me, and settled me down from the lather I've worked myself into. Everything is going to be great (and breathe.....)
I brought boxes home from work tonight so that we can start packing up the non-essentials. Yuk. I can't even tell you how badly I hate moving. Just one more thing that makes my ass twitch. I don't know where the time is going, but we'll be moving this time next month. I need to stop thinking about it.
I'm out, Thomas just walked in from work......
