What a horrid day! Let's start at the beginning, shall we? Its not normally my morning routine to throw up first thing getting out of bed, but I guess today was something special 'cause that's what I did. Don't know what it was, I had a bit of an ache in my stomach when I woke up, but then all of a sudden... Well, let's say it is a good thing the bathroom is close to the bedroom. Wheee..

Then I went to work, because I wasn't sick enough to stay home. Spent most of the day trying to get stuff done around policies and procedures that didn't work because key people weren't there to do the job. I'm not blamming the people who weren't there. They couldn't be there today and that's fine. They deserved to take some time off. I'm just saying I was frustrated because a job that should take 5 minutes takes a half a day when I have to "work around the system". Finally, 3 minutes before quittin' time, guess what? Another task that would normally take 5 minutes, if the proper people where in. Instead it takes Jason and I about a half-hour to get it done. Now I wasn't feeling well to begin with today and I should have left early - but noooo I had to stay. Oh well, maybe it was a good thing I was there to get it done. (Actually Jason did most of the work.)

Then, the drive home... well let's just refer to my previous rant located here and leave it at that. The mood for today was frustrating, if you hadn't guessed by now.

Note to those who work with me: This entry was in no way a slam against you. I was just frustrated at the circumstances, all of which were not normal and will probably never be seen again. So if you took any of this personally, please don't and accept my apologies. "It's not you, it's me." Thanks.
