So, yesterday my pager went off every ten minutes about all day. Justin, the coirker, who I'm replacing is sitting at my old desk watching my phone ring off the hook most of the morning. Yeah, I was needed, being the subject matter expert on some hardware but was not told all of the details of what I needed to be doing. When folks tell me that my dept manager said I needed to be sitting watching hardware to be built. Not that he told me, not that I bet he could tell me apart from the other people in my dept, not that I got a single email explaining what I needed to do. I hate walking into something cold and unprepared. Bleah. Not a fun day. I accomplished what I was asked to do and now I need to outbrief that. Luckily I ran away from anything else they wanted to do. It was on assemblies I'm not familiar with. My next up boss agreed but it was tight to get them to agree to let me go work the job I'm supposed to be doing and have things due for today. Needless to say, I worked an 11 hour day without a single break. I ate lunch running to my car to drive to the factory. Bleah.

Got home and mel was curled up on the couch reading The Breadmaker's Apprentice. I got dinner and then we headed out to socialize at practice. I had a good time but I was exhausted and then we went to go grocery shopping. We were finishing unloading the groceries at 945pm and mel worked on getting dinner set up in the crockpot for today and packaging up the meat. I watched south park. The animation has definitely gotten better. Don't have any idea why I stayed up when I was exhausted...but bleah.

So, today is packing day. I have to finish packing up my cubicle and getting my computer backed up. I get my shiny new laptop tomorrow. Hopefully the transfer goes well. I really don't want to lose my data. So, time to finish some paperwork. Drink my cups of coffee and get on with my day. Tonight is knit night and I'm looking forward to that. I was lame and didn't bring workout gear but I will probably be working late again. Bleah. Not really an excuse but I'm still feeling ucky and exhausted.

Well, its monday again and boy is it striking with a vengeance. I did not sleep well and I think part of that was soreness, part of it was my brain being on and part of it was just oddness in general. Course I also got some skeeter bites during the night that don't make me happy either...bleah, I hate skeeters.

The rest of the day sunday it was hard to motivate to work on things I needed to. I watched tv, relaxed, napped and worked on presents. I also managed to get my studio cleaned up, fabric pulled for a few outfits and got my new wrap around hangerrock pattern figured out. Its a nice rosey pink and I need to figure out what to trim it in. Hopefully I'll have that figured out today so I can work on the handwork and get it ready to wear for A&S. I also plan on getting other stuff cut out so I can have new stuff by the time the reign starts which will be nice.

My allergies aren't happy with me this morning. Guess I don't get to skip meds much anymore...sighs. I was hoping. Here's to hoping things kick in soon.

Today at work is going to be *fun*, since I have lots of paperwork to do. But I will prevail over the mountain of red tape and triumph in the face of change notices, variances and their ilk!
