He said hey get the f*** off my back!



Here's a picture of a boatload of work that I had to do today. I wound up staying at the office until 6:30 and still feel like I hardly accomplished anything. I'm losing my mind there. I can feel my creativity drying up and my spirit being bled dry. I shouldn't complain so much. It was just a bad day. And by bad day I'm pretty sure I mean bad couple of months.

A woman called while we were working overtime. The phones had been turned off but somehow she was dialing in on a number that rang throughout the entire office, including the doctors offices, in spite of that fact. I had a very bizarre chat with her around 5:2o in which she was most unhelpful in telling me what she wanted and who had given her this number. She called back about 2 minutes later and I didn't pick up right away because I was already frustrated from the first time I spoke with her. The phone stopped ringing and I thought I was homefree until Dr. Webb came out of his office asking who had called this woman that had just rang in his office. He had her on hold. I ran in there and talked to her for a minute - she had given me the wrong callback number. Then she called back for a 3rd time saying that she thought the original person who had called her had been named Flora. We don't have anyone named Flora working in our office. I told her I would ask around tomorrow and try to have someone call her back then. Finally the phone was silent.

Nick is in New York having meetings with Julia Stiles and I'm sitting in Portage buried in a mountain of paperwork fielding calls from people who can't pronounce Hanavan. Le sigh. I should start focusing on the positive. Right now I feel too lazy to give myself a pep talk though and there's no one else to do it. I'm stuck wallowing. Boo me & my wallow. Wallows never did anyone any good. The things I got done today by working overtime I don't have to do tomorrow which will give me more time to spend on the things I haven't been able to get to. Also, tomorrow's pay day. That's a plus. Silver linings all around.

Why is Nick meeting with Julia Stiles? I'm jealous of that.
