Yesterday, all day (mostly morning) long at work, people kept coming up to me: "I hear you joined the Club." I guess it's something even the president of the company has done. Everyone must set the alarm off at least once to be accepted around here? Then why do I still feel like such a big doofus? I didn't get lunch yesterday either. Ignacio, who was supposed to cover me, and I had a misunderstanding. I reaally am not mad at him, even though he cowed from the glare I gave him when he came in (early he thought) at 1:30pm. It's obvious he thought he was to come in at 2pm, which makes me wonder why I thought we agreed on noon for lunch. I had a lot of work stress yesterday, actually, as there was another project Krista needed me to do and I, well, I missed the clues. I found the binder only after someone else had brought me an even older one.....oh, sorry, I won't go on about work. It's just thtat I can do much better than I did yesterday, but maybe not when I got up at 5am and set the alarm off and had to deal with the cops an hour later. I was more frazzled than I realized yesterday, and now I'm worrying about job security again. I don't *think* I work at the kind of place to throw deliberate tests at you when your co-workers are on vacation, but I'm sure flunking the spontaneous ones. Sigh. My smog check went well. I left the car there all afternoon and hung out with David at my place. Towards the end of our visit, I was getting very nauseous. I pulled it together to go pick up the car (passed with flying colors - whoo-whee. Good to know I'm not a "gross polluter"), but still felt ill when I came back. Sharon, who was home sick from work, busted out the thermometer. She had 96.1, while I had 100.5 degree temperature. We're not sure if the thermometer is off by 2odd degrees (thereby putting me over 102) or if she's just naturally cold. I felt really miserable, but I joked, "I win!" when my temperature actually registered a fever. I think she resented that just a little bit. Made tomato rice soup (Campbell's with leftover rice, basil, oregano and chives from the garden), which I ate after a bowl of soothing oatmeal. I think I read the rest of the night. I went to bed around 10pm again, after chatting with David who called to commiserate over missing the girls. I know, this is boring. It's even boring me. I"m just not feeling up to social commentary today. Woke up at 3:40 this morning, which did not make me happy, especially since I finally fell asleep right before my alarm went off at 5 am, which made me late as I treated myself to two snoozes. Usually, I come into work and give Christa a break. Then I go to the bathroom. My body is used to this, no matter what time I get up. I am the only one here. I cannot go to the bathroom until 8:30, when Kimio gets in to cover me for a break. Is this illegal? Oh, I'm sure I could ask someone in tech support to watch the phones, but not every day this week. But my body is like clockwork, and this hurts. On that cheery note.... Really, I'll write an interesting entry soon. Probably not this early in the morinng, though. | ||
