The Morning From Hell

Jul 25, 2008 11:25

I literally feel like I am in a bizarre episode of the Twilight Zone or something like that. I don't know why, other than the fact that I guess I am really tired, I have broken down and cried already once this morning, I feel like crap, probably from a number of factors. One being that I have had a rough morning at work, and just a weird week in general. My boss has been on vacation all week, which normally that's not a big deal, she works from home two days a week anyways, so I normally man the fort here anyways. So I don't think it's that, even though a co-worker mentioned it. I guess I just normally have control over my job, I have been doing it for over 6 years now and know how to do it pretty well, and found out this morning that there was an aspect of it that I might not have so much control over and it frustrates me. Part of me feels that they are going to want a full blown graphic designer in my position one of these days and I may be out of a job. Who knows. It's complicated.

I deal with coordinating ads for publications here at my company, and I had one advertiser that has sent 3 ads for three different publications about four times now and it drove me to the edge this morning. I don't expect everyone to understand, I just wanted to vent my frustrations, and I know this is the best place and most understandable place to do it ;)

On another note, I am a little aprehensive about driving out of state to Oregon tomorrow with my mom to pick up my older son. Not about the fact that I am going to get my son, which I am very exited about, but the fact that I have to spend a lot of drive time with my mom. As some of you know, my mother isn't the most pleasant person, and we don't really get along, and it's probably not going to be the most pleasant of all trips. I have had to do it before, and it's NOT the most pleasant. I am really exited to see my son, but I am not exited about driving in a car with her. It's hard enough in the first place to take long trips with people, but it's even harder to take them with people that you don't necessarily get along with. Don't get me wrong, I love her, she's my mom, I just don't necessarily like the way she acts towards me or gets along with me. We really don't get along. I guess that has added to my breakdown this morning. The fact that I have to try to get to bed at 8pm tonight and wake up at 4 in the morning doesn't help either. That's going to bed three hours earlier than normal, and getting up two hours earlier than normal. Not fun in my book.

Well, one good thing is that it's Friday and that's always a good thing. And i only have to work until 4pm. That's always a very good thing. I am going to take lunch and get the hell out of this Twilight Zone office for a while. If only it could be like the Mad Men office I would be happy.
