variety is the norm of life
The period turned up and turned the start of this week into an exhausting ball of pain and suffering. I also have to update my COVID period tracker and send it off to the person doing the research.
Alas, one of the work servers went down over the weekend - a major one that is the gateway between the organisation's finance systems with an external banking system, and which deal with payroll. And a pay run is due this week. The server maintenance is not specifically our area, but it affects us, because we are the finance system, and I deal with 'the finance is connected to the gateway' part before the gateway connects to the banking system, which means I'm the point of contact for a lot of the issues that are cropping up.
Still, at least my stress is not as bad as the guy who had to rebuild the gateway server. He didn't end up getting a weekend at all, and they need him here at work this week, so he's not going to get TIL anytime soon.
Meanwhile, payment things are not happening and need to be sorted out in the next half-hour. And my connection has just gone down...
Okay, sent that mail off.

Really want a cup of tea. Also, could do with a couple of hours extra sleep rn. But that's nothing new.
Skipped my gym workout last night because: pain and exhaustion loopiness. Went down the road and got takeaway, that was about as much as I could manage. Better sleep this morning, but still not 100%.
Okay, tea made, connection issues sorted, now to this new bit of work.
Also: trying to work out if I have leftovers from last night's dinner for lunch or dinner. I'm thinking lunch because I can't be bothered trying to work out dinner right now.
Need to do more running/fitness but the humidity is 80% and over and it's just awful. And running is not fun with my right toe feeling twitchy and tender now and again.
