When I got here this morning, I greeted one of my coworkers with a, "Good morning!" She responded saying, "Happy Friday," and I said, "And it is a happy one, isn't it?"
What fools were we.
Today is easily the worst day of work ever. I have had two of the messiest, most difficult critical incidents (that's what I work with) ever, and on top of that, our company's redesign is hugely flawed, and we're really feeling those flaws in our call organization today. From 9:30-11, I had three very stressful issues freaking me out with force.
Now I'm not an easily stressed person. It takes a lot to shake me up. But this week has me completely fried. Thankfully I only have a three day week next week, but that still might be difficult. Here's what I believe I need to make it through to next weekend:
-Breakfast in bed at least once, preferably twice.
-A couple good foreign films (oddly the most comforting cinema around)
-Tea party.
-Up to, but no more than, three hours in a library or book store.
-A walk around the lakes or anywhere with fresh air and colored leaves.
-Many good naps.
-Lots of classical music.
At least my brain's not on fire, right?
Yeah man, I know what you mean. Except my brain is fried from drugs. Wait...that sounded bad. I found out this morning that Tylanol and Robitussen don't mix. Now it feels like there's a train wreck in my head.
ReplyDeleteOut of curiosity, is your other motto No Regrets?
I have three mottoes. They are "No Regrets," "I Like Swans," and "I'm Gonna Punch You in the Face, Bob, if You Don't Shut Up Right Now."
ReplyDeleteI like your idea for activities this weekend...too bad I won't have time for any of it! Although after running 10 miles early early on Sunday morn, I do plan on taking a nap...a shower first, then a nap.
ReplyDeleteI can certainly supply foreign films this weekend...
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait until my post run nap. 7am? For real?
ReplyDeletevommriit (this is my favorite yet!!)
I am genuinely interested in how you guys handle 'critical incidents.' I'm supposed to formulate a 'Disaster Contingency Plan' for my workplace...you might have some insight? Also, that to-do list looks great!
