I had much more sleep than I normally do last night however I woke up feeling groggy and awful. My eyes looked a bit puffy and red; I knew it was going to be a bad day. I dragged my ass to the grocery store early in the AM to grab some oatmeal as I didn't have any breaky at work. I meandered around aimlessly searching for the bloody oatmeal and finally asked a worker to point me in the right direction. It took her a while to answer...."ummmmm baking section" so I asked which aisle that would be "ummmm" she looked around "ummmm, ahh" finally she blurts out aisle five. I'm running late now, grab the box and head to the only check out open except as one can expect there is no cashier in sight. Eventually one saunters up and I feel my blood pressure rising. So not only am I tired, puffy eyed and cranky but now I'm a bit pissed.

I get to work and my pressure goes up and up as the day goes on. Our move has not been smooth and there are a million unanswered questions. We've been refused a meeting with management to discuss such issues and have been told to send correspondence via email. I have clients who are lost/wandering around/showing up at my door unexpectedly and it's been absolute chaos for the past two weeks.

Today was my breaking point....I sent off an email or two expressing my concerns/disgust I demanded someone show me how to use a machine (I've been asking for two weeks to be shown) I received a snotty email in return and it took all of my strength not to leave.

Truth be told I have a rather short fuse and the smallest of things can irk me. I do try to be relatively cordial under such circumstances.....but.....when I am beyond angry I can be a wicked wicked woman!

She came out today and it wasn't pretty. I have a feeling she may make another appearance tomorrow as well. I hope they have plenty of band aids to sop up their wounds cause I have a quick wit and a sharp sharp tongue that will pierce right through. My gloves are off.....

Awhh buddy! I know exactly how you feel. I've had days like that when a demon voice comes out of me and I warn my friends to just leave me alone because all hell could break loose. Yea...

Tomorrow can only be better?? right?

I've had a day like that a while back and usually I'm laid back. If McCain wins I'll have another I imagine.

I'm up on the eleventh floor and watching the cruisers below.

Rawbean, I hope so ... we shall see.

Wiwille, Ha!! I hope that does not happen or I think a lot of people will have a day like that.

WIGSF....is that a movie quote?? I"m a little slow this morning.

Perhaps it is time to make the career move?

I think you need a Mental Health Day! lol
I was feeling irritated today at work because of idiots and the phone ringing over and over everytime I would try to work on something. So I made some weird blubbering loud noise while shaking my head and arms at the same time. It seemed to help. ha

I've been feeling the same lately, I'm really getting pissed with one of my slacker co-workers. I don't know what the male version of a bith is, but I have been a "Mitch" this week.

That sound supremely (sp?) frustrating, and I don't blame you for unleashing her . . . But I try to never send emails when I'm that pissed off. I may write them to get it out, but then they get deleted as things look much worse onscreen than being said.

Good luck navigating through the muck.

Miss Ash said...

WIGSF, crap I should have known that!

Scott, perhaps.....

JLee, I am taking one, there is no way I could have gone in for one more day :)

BB, high five to the b/mitches!!

2DP, I feel better when I hit that "send" button :)
