Today is the worst day of the rest of your life (almost)
Today had the makings of the worst day ever! I was in bed at 7:00 this morning thinking I don't have to get up until 7:30. 7:30... what's happening at 7:30? What day is this? I have a meeting at 7:30! It takes me 30 minutes to get to work. And I'M NOT EVEN OUT OF BED YET! I flew down the stairs and got ready for work faster than ever. Got the little one up to get ready for school and got my dad to take her. While I was running around frantic, my sister ironed the pants I was going to wear. And by iron I mean she sprayed the wrinkle releaser on them and smoothed them for me. My sister Rocks. Everyone should have one of her. I got to work only 5 minutes late.
After the 1 hour meeting that turned into 2 hours, I had a Workers Compensation audit for the farm. This by itself wouldn't have been bad at all except I couldn't get a hold of the accountant to tell me how to print off the quarterly reports. I called him last week and reminded him about this audit and he assured me if he wasn't around then his assistant would be. But he wasn't. Nobody was. I felt so abandoned. And the guy was sooo mean. He acted like I was trying to hide something because I didn't know what he wanted. He told me all he needed was the payroll reports for 2004-2005 and that's what I gave him. But no. He decides after he gest here that he wants quarterly reports and 943 reports and forms I've never heard of. Anyway, I told him I would fax him everything after I heard from Randy. Randy never called. Grrr.
For the past 2 weeks I've been working on an Employee handbook for the theater my boss owns. This is the only part of my job I don't like. This work is so tedious and it turns me into the most boring person to ever walk the face of the earth. It leaves me feeling like I've just had my soul sucked out of my body through my eyeballs. I finally finished it today and took it to Staples to get the proofs done. I only wanted 2 of them and they screwed it all up. The cover was wrong, the pages were messed up, and it took them 2 hours longer than they promised. And I only wanted 2. I wanted to cry. I keep reminding myself that tomorrow I get to go to Salt Lake and see my friends and watch a movie and get away from everything. Just make it one more day.
Then my sister calls and says she doesn't want to go to Salt Lake. That it's a waste of money because we won't even be in the same theater with our SLC friends. She's bailing on me even though the tickets are already paid for.
I have to hurry so I'm going to skip the farm drama, and what happened at the gym. But you get the picture. Today just sucked all around.
About 30 minutes ago my boss called me and asked me if I had 30 employee handbooks ready for the meeting tonight. I told him I only had the proofs done so he could see them before they were mass produced. He said he trusts me and he needs them by 10:00 and oh, yeah, could I run them out to Hurricane before then. First of all I didn't know there was a deadline for them or they would have been done. And second, today was crappy and I just want to watch Lost and go to bed. But then he says, "We're doing a preview of Harry Potter tonight and you and your sister can come if you bring the handbooks."
Suddenly the day is so much better.
