It’s only Wednesday and I am already feeling overwhelmed. Work has gotten very busy as we are entering the high season and I have been scrambling to get stuff done, all while being held up because the stuff I need isn’t being supplied to me on time. Anyone who knows me will tell you that if there’s one thing I’m anal about, it’s being on time. I hate being late. I arrived to both my first and second interview for this job a half hour early. Just in case. My boss actually saw me arrive but waited until the scheduled appointment time to greet me because I was so freaking early. It’s just the way I am.
But I can deal with that because I have control over it. Being early only inconveniences me. The problem is when I’m waiting on other people. When they’re late it makes my blood boil and stresses me out. I can’t help it. Needless to say, waiting for something I was supposed to have on Friday only made me angry. Especially when I get it on Wednesday afternoon. Anyway, moving on.
Tonight I am looking forward to relaxing and letting the stress from work melt away. Michael is off today and tomorrow and I couldn’t be happier. This past rotation had him working till 10 every night for the last four days. I don’t mind the time alone sometimes, but when it gets to be every night I get lonely. Especially since Kodiak would much rather play in the yard then spend the evening inside. I’m actually looking forward to cooking dinner because I’ll have someone to share it with and I can’t wait to just curl up on the couch and watch TV. It will be nice to spend more than an hour with him before falling asleep.
Now I have to run. Immediately. Did I mention I was swamped? I am. Ridiculously swamped. Bye!

ahh i totally know what you mean about being late. and as far as work goes, i feel your pain there too. i have deadlines and in order to meet them, i have to get approval from approximately 456897 people on whatever it is i’m working on, so i will email it out and wait. then i’m just stuck there picking my nose until they get back to me with their changes and then i scramble around to make them all and still make the deadline. geez.
however, i am totally bored at work today, as you can see by the 111 things about me post i just wrote. it’s seriously either feast or famine here; there’s no happy medium.
have fun relaxing tonight!

I could not agree more about the importance of being on time. I am always early and if I am ever going too close to on time I get super stressed out about it. Like I feel like I am going to have a heart attack. It’s always the people like us who have to wait on others which is why we know how much it sucks and are always scared to be that person making others wait.

I’m not a stickler about being on time. I should be, considering I was in the military. But even then, I went to work late.
You must hate people like me, haha.
