I am being trained at work by people who haven't worked on actual work but just set up the procedure. I have done the actual work in day to day functions. My mind is reeling from all the things that will go wrong when they implement the procedure for day to day.
Sinus headache, nothing major. I'm mildly annoyed b/c my H is working Sat/Sun mornings, then after work on Sat he's headed to Baton Rouge for the LSU game, and after work on Sun he's headed to the Saints game!! Both games are at night, i'll be alone all weekend.

The Atomic Clock on the wall in front of me is currently four hours fast. It was three hours earlier. This is a complaint because at 930a when the clock said 1230p I was super excited that the day was going by so quickly. Then, I looked at my computer. Stupid trickery. I keep looking at the clock thinking "why am I still here?"

I have to drive 4 1/2 hours tomorrow with my kids in the car. First, they've been driving me nuts lately (not all their fault, I'm dealing with some stuff). Second, it turns out that DD #1 has a TON of homework to do this weekend. Most of which can be done in the car but it's sort of hard for me to keep an eye on both her and the road, and if I don't watch her she tends to drift off into la la land. Third, I have to turn around and drive back home 24 hours later b/c the kids can't afford to miss school on Monday. Times like these make me think that both family loyalty and being the better person sort of suck. I plan on eating large amounts of ice cream later to fortify myself. :-)

I'm beyond Fed up at having hurt arms. It's been almost two weeks and I still can't straighten them fully. The bruising is finally disappearing but my right arm especially hurts, I pretty much can't do anything without pain and it's really cramping my style.

I was supposed to have a friend come for a fun night but my mom told me she couldn't take Ellie tonight after all-and H is working-so we're going to reschedule.
I'm not really complaining because they usually take her overnight one night a week and I'm GRATEFUL for that. But I'm bummed to not see my girly.
My throat hurts...DS said I probably have Ebola (cept he said Ecola)...how doea he know about Ebola?
My middle schoolers have a running joke when someone coughs or sneezes that it's Ebola. So now my 2 yo goes around yelling "bola". It's really the cutest thing.
And my complaint is that I have spent all day in pain from GI issues. I really want food and to feel like my intestines aren't going to rip in two.

I'm pissed at SIL. My MIL was watching my dog today so I could work late. SIL and BIL decide at the last minute that they want to go out of town and they're going to drop their 2-year old off at MIL's house tonight. My dog is afraid of little kids (really my dog is afraid of anyone he doesn't see for at least 3 or 4 days in a row, but little kids don't get that you don't run at a scared dog so it makes me very nervous). H is out until late tonight so I got a call at work that they were coming at 7 ad the dog needed to be gone by then. Inconvenient when we made plans ahead of time, but whatever, I get that baby trumps dog.
I left work, skipped the errands I was supposed to run, and got there by 6:20. They had dropped the baby off a fucking hour ago. My dog was barking and shaking and had expressed his anal gland (sorry non-dog people). MIL had confined him and dealt with the barking and diverting our niece who wanted to play with the puppy.
So now I get to spend my Friday night scrubbing dog ass.
My home internet was running really slowly and the tech guy on the phone made it worse, so now it's not working at all. They told me they couldn't get anyone out to fix it until Thursday and then I got disconnected. They haven't called me back even though they asked for my phone number for just that reason.
I am not pleased.
And DH wants to call, but he's now camped out at Starbucks because he was trying to work from home and obviously can't.
Dare I say it? I think century link may be worse than Comcast.
My mother is DRIVING ME CRAZY! Long story, but she wants me to be concerned about her and my dad's visit next weekend and the logistics of them delivering the baby's furniture. Sorry Mom, all I care about is getting this baby out. I couldn't care less what time or how they get here.

Since being moved to bakery, I feel like I'm going to fail in this department. Nonstop, I hear "why didn't you make cookies? Why didn't you make cookies?" Because I was busy putting away the artillery that is the basis of our department and I'm always the only one there. Today, I finally felt confident in my abilities to split up my duties and package baked goods for a while and then bust out some cookies. I'm doing this for a couple of hours and the closer shows up. She takes a look around and asks, "why are you making cookies?"
Wha...wha..what? Why am I making cookies? Because all the other days, I'm asked why I DIDN'T make cookies? I swear they're setting me up. They have to be. Plus, I'm developing an allergy to something back there that puts me in these horrible coughing jags. I'm miserable in bakery.

I got a flu shot, and my arm is super sore. I've had better Fridays, and I wish I lived close to my family or DH's family. My back is killing me, and if I take another pill, it will knock me out, and I really want to finish grading these exams. Oh and I hate that my students don't study at all and bomb the test, because it makes me feel inadequate, even though I know that if they made even half the effort, they could and would pass.
EDIT: It should say, "if they made half the effort toward my class that they do toward their damn sneakers or video games..."
The HS is having a football game. It's so obnoxious that I can hear it at my house a mile away. Plus we haven't won a game in YEARS. It's twice as annoying to have to turn the TV up so I don't hear us losing!
I finally tried to get a babysitter....and she's blowing me off. I don't get it. She posted on our neighborhood page looking for babysitting jobs. I sent her a FB message, she saw it and didn't respond. I sent another one this morning and she called. I called her back and left a voicemail and also sent her a FB message with the same info. She saw it, no response. Doesn't she know I can see that she read it? WTF?
My temp job suddenly ended today. =0( Boo. It was originally billed to me that it would last through the holidays. But the company ended up bringing in NINE temps total, and we ran out of work to do. The company wasn't a place where I would take a permanent job (has been purchased 3 times since April of this year, and were just thrown into being a public company - which is why they needed the help), but it was good money and close to the house. I did get to meet some great people who taught me new things about the area for us to check out.
Semi-complaint: I have to be up at 3:30am tomorrow. We're taking the early morning train into DC for the weekend. Closest Amtrack station is a little over an hour away. The good part is I can sleep on the train for the 3.5hr ride.
