I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Bosses seem to be on a roll today. We have visitors on site today for a tour, I was asked to do their safety talk before they can tour. No problem. I do it, they are taken from my office and given the outside your and then taken to everyone's desk EXCEPT MINE, and told the role and responsibilities of that person. Nice.

The move coordinator told me delivery would be today. After I pinged her this morning to ask when they'd show up with the truck, she said sorry for the confusion and that they're arriving between 10-2 tomorrow. So now I'm on a shuttle to the office.

The air bed is already put away and I doubt I'll bother to pull it out again, so I suspect I'll be sleeping in the grumpiest blanket fort tonight.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I don't mean to laugh, but as soon as you mentioned deflating the air bed before the movers arrived I went "ooh, that's bold".

Wishing you the comfiest of blanket forts, and no further hiccups.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aaaaallll these aggravations will pass. They will pass and be replaced by exciting new aggravations!

It's infuriating because it's true!

I very much doubt that I have enough room to keep the air bed inflated AND get all the boxes/furniture in the apartment. Lesson learned, I guess.

Today is our first day of orientation.

Tomorrow, first thing, I have a root canal.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

You can glare at the movers balefully tomorrow while you fold your blanket fort.

I'm going to find some comfort food to shove in my face for lunch, I tell you what.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Oh, I had pizza for lunch and breakfast.

Breakfast happened at the same time as lunch because I didn't get actual breakfast.

So, my co-worker who's always taking vacations asked me again to back her up, and this time I said no, I can't, I'm swamped, I'm losing my mind. So she got someone Else. This morning Else messaged me and said our boss doesn't want Else to do ALL THAT WORK by herself, and told her - of course - to give me the portion I'd already said no to. HIGH-larious.
