Stupid Thursday
I'm in such a crappy mood today. It's one of those days. So the coworker I can't stand was out of the office on Mon and Tues. I am one of her backups when she is out. On Tuesday, I was supposed to do something on her behalf (although technically I am not the only one who could have done it). Due to a misunderstanding with another coworker, I only did about half of the work. She comes back in yesterday, and since she was back in the office, I did not follow up. She is the type that doesn't like when people get into her workflow. She was complaining about something when I walked in, didn't talk to me all day (yay!), then this morning I see she sent a meeting notice with her boss and myself to discuss some "issues" dealing with the workflow. So, I have no idea what she means and after doing some digging I am assuming it is due to the crap from Tuesday. Fine, I should have followed up, but is it necessary to hold a meeting about this? Seriously?!
.
I don't even know why I am her backup, I am no longer on the same team as she is on. We're under different management, and I'm not supposed to be doing that crap anymore! Regardless I do admit that I screwed up, which pisses me off, especially since it is a screw up on something that is not part of my job function and involves her. On top of that, I still don't have a Halloween costume, we still don't have Halloween plans, my work BFF is being weird and ignoring me, I'm cold, and my eye is irritated.
Well, enough with my venting and complaining. How is everyone's day going so far? A lot better than me I hope!

Re: Stupid Thursday
I had an unsettling conversation with my mom this morning. There's some family stuff going down right now that I'd rather not share on here, and it just really got me upset. So, I'm sitting in the back of Starbucks with my laptop open and tears streaming down my face.
I had a visit to the lady doc on Monday, had allergy testing done yesterday (which left me with puffy eyes and horrible sinus issues the rest of the day), and now this. This week SUCKS.
I'm battling a cold and stuck at the house with no car since DH is in town. The only thing I have to look forward to is the frozen pizza I have cooking in the oven right now. Oh, and last night's Criminal Minds I have on the DVR.
In addition, I've been trying to get someone from the disability management group to confirm that my benefits won't get screwed up when I go back to work in two weeks. Since I'm going back the day before my short term disability ends, they started to get the long term disability approvals in place. When you go on LTD, you lose your medical coverage and my paychecks get cut in half and go from weekly to monthly. I obviously don't want any of that to happen since I'm done with treatments and can go back before LTD kicks in. No one can answer my questions. It's a red tape nightmare.
I'm covering two desks today and we just had a massive backorder come in so I'm running around like a chicken with its head cut off. I also pulled some orders in the back to help out our warehouse, so now I'm sweaty in my nice clothes. I'm supposed to go to dinner straight after work with my parents, so I hope I still look and smell okay.
I also have about a billion homework assignments due before Saturday. Okay, it's more like ten, but it's going to take a huge chunk of time. I may not be sleeping much the next two days. I'm battling a stupid UTI, so I haven't been sleeping much either. Ugh.
