Needz Moar RAM
I think, maybe, I have stretched myself too thin yet again. I have this incredibly long list of things to do and no desire to do any of them. I'm antsy and I'm anxious, and I can feel my temper rumbling beneath the surface. I'm tired, too. I hate being this tired, especially since I now know what it is like to not feel this way all of the time anymore.
This week has been full of stupid events, too.
Monday, after working my ass of at work because a co-worker called in (again!) I got my workstation set up for school. It looks kind of neat, but it's not even close to being done. I still need to spend more money on the damned thing. Fortunately, I have a few months to save up again.
I really need to get myself a camera...my phone sucks XD.
Tuesday was uneventful other than another hard day at work and an allergic reaction. I'm honestly starting to think it would be safer to stop eating altogether. We also brought both cats to the vet to get them spayed.
Wednesday was chaos at work. The co-worker that called in sick on Monday was suspended, so everybody was really unsettled and unhappy. We weren't much busier than normal,but because everyone was freaking out, it seemed so much worse. Plus, in the afternoon we got really busy for no apparent reason and in the middle of the rush (that lasted for 3 hours!), one of the espresso machines died. It was crazy! It was dumping steam and boiling water out of the drain tray and spraying hot water out of the steam wands! Got the cats back in the afternoon, they were thrilled to be home and a little sore. But, yay! No more unhappy PMS kitties!
Thursday was the day of running. Although the morning seemed to go fairly smoothly, my fellow supervisor and I must have missed something, somewhere because it was chaos in the afternoon. I'd managed to put out all of the fires by the time the closing team arrived. Plus, the tech to repair the second machine finally made it in! My coworker did something really dumb about 5 minutes before the end of my shift...While I was using a towel to wipe milk off of the steam wands on the working machine, he turned the steam on! It burned the hell out of my hand! Needless to say, I left a bit early.
Friday was...busy. Just busy. I spent all day just running around at work. It mostly went well, until I had a subordinate get mad at me for not allowing her to skip her lunch break (it's been happening too often lately and I'm not about to get in trouble for that!) Ironically, we ended up being so busy that I didn't get my lunch break...>.< I went home 30 minutes early to make up the difference in labor.
Saturday was finally an honest to goodness day of rest. I slept most of the day. In the afternoon, we noticed that one of the kitties had a lot of bruising and irritation around her stitches, so we rushed her back to the vet. She's fine, but she'd been chewing and licking at her stitches so much that she got them infected. We now have to give her antibiotics twice a day and she has to wear a fail collar:
She is not a happy kitty. I feel really bad for her, but I can't help but laugh whenever she runs into something with it...XD
Anyway, I'm sorry I haven't been posting or commenting this week. I have no excuses, just whining. Maybe I'll get back on the wagon tomorrow...maybe I wont. We'll have to see how I feel when the time comes.
