I think I just need to vent.
I have several major health problems, so I only work one day a week, Sundays, but it is a 24 hr. shift. I never, ever call in sick; mostly because it's impossible to find a replacement for a 24 hr. shift.
Yesterday morning, I reported for work @ 9, as usual, but by 10:30 I just knew I wouldn't be able to do my shift. I began trying to call my supervisor, but both she and her assistant were playing hide and seek.
I resigned myself to working. Around 6 last night the BIG boss called to ask a question about something and I couldn't help but tell her how horrible I felt. She had someone there to replace me within the hour. Wouldn't wanna be my supervisor when the boss got ahold of her today
At any rate, I got home around 7; it would have been sooner but as I left work I found one of our clients walking home in the dark and rain and I ended up giving him a ride home...clear across town of course. My SO, who had been called into work early due to a city-wide power outage got home aorund 10, absolutely worn out. We should have been able to wallow in our collective miseries and sleep till we felt human again right? Nope. Our phone rang at 11 p.m. and 3 a.m. for him (he's watch commander, and has to be available), my cell rang at midnight for me (problem at work). There's a bobcat hybrid that hangs around the farm and he began a lonesome crying just outside our bedroom window around 3:30 a.m.; I'm sorry I'm super soft-hearted and it breaks my heart to hear him cry. Our brainless border colle started barking at the cows at 5 and didn't shut up until I gave up on sleep and got up at 6.
I would love to just ignore the world today and sleep till Tuesday but the SO has to go to work at 4 p.m. and I have to go rob a bank (j/k here feds) so I can pick Rxs up at the pharmacy.
k, thank you for listening...I'm done venting
