my day didn't start out well and didn't get any better

[fizzgig]

my shift started at 3 and i was near tears by four. work has been a fat mess of shit and i just wasn't equipped to deal with it, so i had my boss run shift and i just went to the production floor. i felt a bit bad about dropping that mess in his lap, but i just couldn't even today. at least my mood didn't affect my productivity and i was able to get a good amount of work done.

the good news is that i'm home with the husband and kittehs and there's beer in the fridge. the bad news is that i walked in the door ten minutes ago and i have to be back to work in 10 hours (which gets me out of bed four hours earlier than normal).

i am out of energy now, so i'll deal with tomorrow when i wake up. all i'm doing tonight is drinking a few beers, snuggling the kittehs and husband and watching some ds9.

at least tomorrow is friday and we have an awesome saturday planned.

1. Ah, my dear fizzgig...

I'm so sorry your day was lousy...

I hope against hope that tomorrow will be much better for you...

They should not have you switching back and coming in so much earlier than normal. That is inhumane.

Keep your eyes on Saturday!

i'm really counting myself lucky that i have such an understanding boss. i was straight up with him about my inability to perform my job functions tonight, so he really had no choice but to take over for me, but he's not going to hold it against me. the last few months have wiped us both out and we have to be honest with each other in order to make things work.

tomorrow should be much more manageable. i don't expect staffing levels to be all that great, but we should still be able to get at least the really important stuff done.

i am fine with the scheduling because it gives me more time with the husband. it was worse at the paper because there would be nights that i'd be there until 10 or 11 and then have to be up and out the door by 730 the next day.

i can't wait for saturday. we're going to go to denver pride and then bernie's town hall at the university of denver. the husband hates crowds but tolerates them for me when it really matters.
