Weds Work Woes

Some days can be unbelievably trying.  Today was one of those days!  Too much going on at work.  I went in early to get things ready to ship out -- and ended up staying 2 hours over!  Which means, of course, that I'll have to cut some time on Thursday in order to stay within my budgeted hours...  lol  which is always a laugh.  One of my team members is on vacation.  There are 3 special projects going on that I have my fingers in, and there's only so many hours in a day.    Ohh well.  There is still next week.

Management, by the way, isn't very smart.  But that's another story for another day.  :)

I spent lunch with one of the gals from HR and we chit-chatted.  We both are experiencing the same frustrations of management telling us to do one thing, then switching gears in the middle of things, and muddling up everything else. It makes it difficult to feel as if you are doing a good job, getting things accomplished when you're never allowed to actually finish things!  At least, not in a timely manner.  We both agreed it sure is easier to get things done when you go in very early, or work overnights!!  We also agreed on the fact that its hard to be someone who cares about your workplace when you're surrounded by people who don't care.  There are so many who have a "it's not my job" attitude.  We watch them in the lunchroom, eating their food, then leaving the mess, the wrappers, etc behind for someone else to clean up.  Come on now, Your Momma Doesn't Work Here!

 Because I worked 11.5 hours today, I did not head for the gym.  My body is old, and cannot take that much non-stop abuse.  Especially my feet.  But I watched Extreme Weight Loss last night, and damn if I didn't want to have a job where I could do what they were doing:  Going to the gym for 2 hours before work, heading to work at 8am, lunch hour spent in the gym, then back to the gym for another hour or two after the day's work is done.  Don't see the bosses going for that. But.  It did get me thinking:  maybe I could work it so that I go to work at 5, go to the gym at lunch taking 90 minutes, then working til 2:30 and heading for the gym a second time after work.  Just imagine the metabolism burn you'd get from two separate workouts four hours apart!!  

OK  enough whining, it was a good day overall, and yet I'm happy its over.
It's time to grab my book, get back into my good story and relax with my feet up.
Happy Wednesday, everyone!
