I went home for a visit with Mom, everything there is well. We celebrated her 80th Birthday at her fav restaurant, Black Angus. While the meal was delish, my siblings like to eat late dinners, we were finally served at 8pm. Which, of course, meant that there wasn't much sleep for me that night! Always nice getting away for a bit :)
But once I got back to work, holy buckets! (As my favorite Aunt used to say!) Management gave one of our two receivers a two-week vacation, starting the Monday I got back. As the team leader, when one person is off, I get to fill in and help. After being gone for 4 days, my own work was backed up as well! Then on Wednesday, my second receiver called off work. His dog died, and his wife went berserk (depression, refusing to take her meds, talking to inanimate objects) ..... he attempted to come in on Thursday but was so worried about his wife, his work suffered, so he left. Which left just me to do all of it. Alone. Friday. Saturday. Monday. and Tuesday. By the end of Tuesday, I was busy giving "the stink eye" to anyone who crossed my path! I tried to tell myself not to grouse out loud, but after so many days .... I couldn't keep it to myself any longer. And my own job has been getting further and further behind! I had today to catch up, but I have this funny premonition on the back of my neck that my guy's gonna be calling in as soon as my other receiver returns from vacation. *whew*
I've been so tired, I come home and have supper, walk the dog if I am up to it, and then crawl into bed. And it's nearly a literal crawl by the end of a long working day. Looking on the bright side, my average step count is up over 15k every day! lol
The down side to all of this, because I can't "leave my post" at the receiving doors, it's been impossible for me to take my Plexus Slim and to drink all the water recommended.
I can't wait to get started again tomorrow!
