Wow, not enough white space

ianukSo, yesterday I got to hear the phrase "there is no white space in my calendar" and I had to agree with that statement. I had more meetings yesterday than I've had in the last two weeks. Bleah. Found out that there was a big cluster miscommunication while I was gone on travel/vacation about who was covering one of my projects. No one called my direct boss, they called the dept manager who was out, called his second in command who didn't know and said I wasn't working the issue and assigned people who were not at all in the know about the project. Panties got in wads, hamsters got spun up and it was a comedy to figure out yesterday when people were bitching about charge numbers. Sighs. Got it all worked out and I have lots of paperwork to do today. It was comical.
It was even more comical when I answered my cell during a meeting cause mel called. He never calls so I took it. He had a flat on the truck (the tire was staked like a vampire with a chunk of wood) and the spare was flat. I was stuck in a meeting that was heading into its 3rd hour. He managed to get someone with an air compressor to fill the spare and get things changed so that was good. I called him when I got out of the meeting after finding out all about the above cluster and said I was still working and would be heading out soonish.
I did a good thing though. Even though it was 530pm I went to the gym and then knit night. I pushed really hard through my workout and even added in leg lifts/curls at higher weight since I wasn't doing cardio. I got out of the gym by 615 or so and headed out to grandmas. Got there about 10 to 7 and relaxed. Lots of cute things had been finished. My brain was blitzed though...so blitzed that I didn't read a label really well and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
scribe_ari bought me way to expensive of yarn for my b-day. I'll have to make her something extra special to go along with her b-day gifts. I have a plan, I just need to see if I have the yarn...though it won't be done in time for her b-day its gonna be cool. Or I might shift gears and make something I can finish..we shall see what Ravelry pulls to me in the ether. I'm just kinda gobsmacked, thank you dearie but dude...I didn't intend that at all.
Got home, showed off my prezzies, got to see the forge and snickered at the cats who were uber whiney at the front door crying through the screen since all of the family and Reynier were in the shop. Got back in..hunted ravelery for patterns and worked on the afghan. Richard was awesome and netflix'd Vibes for us. I believe I will be watching it tonight for craft time. Got to bed at a decent time and read a few more chapters in my book. I need to re-listen to all of the Puritan stuff from Craftlit about Ann Hutchinson. I think I got the readers digest format with more drama but I'm not sure. Then it was bed time.
Work has been interesting so far but lots of folks are out for Easter. I'm not so I have lots of work to do on the project from above...though I'd luv to spend a rainy day at home reorging the studio some more. Eh, work pays the bills.
Oh, but the girls throught the baby booties were a cat toy. Sigh. I think they are okay...but grrr....
