apocalypsosYou know what can keep a seven-day stretch from turning into pretty much one of the worst weeks ever? Cute construction guys with flirty smiles and really, really pretty eyes. Mmm-hmm. *needs to dress up better for work tomorrow, not that I need to considering how I dressed today*
In any event ... yeah, work. I have a feeling that today wouldn't have sucked quite as much as it did if it weren't for two deciding factors -- the new Lieutenant Asshat deciding that we needed to change the organizing system in a room that's supposed to be my responsibility (and how I managed not to say, "Oh, thank you SOOOO much for listening to my opinion on this" when he said we were doing it his way, I'll never know), and the Grouch and two other employees being out either sick or for family emergencies. Did you know that I have the uncanny ability to make everybody in a hundred-foot radius suddenly lose the ability to answer a phone or pick a ringing extension that's been transferred to them during times of stress? No, really. *glares at co-workers* Hopefully, the others will be back to work tomorrow so that I can finish organizing the room (I talked Lieutenant Asshat into letting me do it myself, because I'm anal-retentive about this stuff and he just throws boxes on shelves).
In related news, I now have to leave for work two and a half hours early to avoid being fifteen minutes late everyday due to the way the buses run. I'm trying to look at the bright side that it's sort of forced writing time, instead of the obvious, "Excuse me, HOW early do you expect me to show up?"
Right now, I'm having a peanut butter sandwich, a Mountain Dew, and some Cheetos to make up for the fact that since yesterday all I've had are some Triscuits and half a large bottle of water. Sheesh. There are women in Hollywood who'd be perfectly willing to go through with the diet I'm doing now mostly of a lack of other options. *sigh*
Oh, and we also had a thunderstorm before. The fun part was when the sky went almost black and there was lightning flashing and it looked like the sky was thiiiiiiis close to opening up and just dousing the place. So I stood in the loading dock and did a rain dance. It then proceeded to drizzle for about ten seconds and then stop. I couldn't decide if that meant I'm just really shitty at the whole rain dance thing or whether that was God's way of telling me he likes it when I wiggle my ass at the sky like that.
