OOF. The last three days were tough at work. Two mid-shifts (including on the 4th, which was surprisingly not busy) and a closure last night that took a hell of a lot out of me. I may not have been in the best of moods for the first half of that shift, mainly due to Thwarted Plans (needing to finish open-ended bookkeeping, trying to keep the front end in line, and going to a super late lunch break on time) and Irritations (vocal interruptions by others which if you know me annoys the piss out of me) plus being hangry. By the time 8pm rolled around it was finally much more sedate and I chose to eff it and roll with the punches instead. Suffice it to say I slept like crap last night as my brain was still in ARRRRGH mode and I ended up dreaming that I'd been fired for a really stupid reason.

ANYWAY. Today's my day off and I've done little except update my blogs and do the laundry, and I have no problems with that. Maybe if I have the inclination I'll finally get off my butt and do some work on MU4 again, and maybe think about what my tandem novel project will be.

Here's to hoping that next week's schedule is nowhere near as stressful. Thankfully my next two days at work are easy opens!

It's been a hell of a busy week here.  Between sneaking in daily words, prepping for BayCon (and conversing and planning with fellow panelists), I'm amazed I'm actually getting anything done.  Added to the fact that I'd completely forgotten that my in-laws were coming in to town to visit yesterday.  [I know they're coming in NEXT Thursday for something different, but I'd forgotten about yesterday.]  

This is why I have multiple calendars here in Spare Oom.  The regular store-bought calendar is the social one, so I'll be able to remember what's coming up and what I have to plan around and adjust accordingly.  Especially when I have a bunch of things going on at the same time!!

Anyhoo...somehow I'm still getting through it all regardless.  Stressed out a little bit, sure, but I'll get over it.  

[Speaking of stress, the Managers Upstairs at the Day Job in their infinite knowledge have decided that 'same-day resolution' is our new goal.  Which is all fine and dandy, except that THE ORIGINAL 2-DAY RESOLUTION WAS JUST FINE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.  This is all about 'customer satisfaction' and I've already voiced my concerns to my managers that this will do nothing except stress me out and get interrupted by bank reps asking for updates when I haven't even gotten to their request yet.  I'm not moving on this one, because I've got enough shit to deal with already.  I've found that the immovable rock (me) usually wins because the managers eventually give up and work around me instead.  Not being a Special Snowflake here... I'm just trying to keep my own sanity.]

ANYWAY.  

Busy weekend.  Lots to prepare for.  Hopefully I'll get it all done, and I'll also have time for the writing as well.
