Glad you're on the mend, Rock!
My weekend was so exhausting. Saturday, I woke up at 3:30 and couldn't go back to sleep until just before my alarm went off at 5 am. And then I was at work by 6 am to make sure the coffee/breakfast showed up for the group. Spent the day on Thompson Island while the group did Outward Bound. It was hot as balls. My co-worker and I kept going back and forth between the un-air conditioned gym and the woods to try and stay cool. I also totally bruised my butt on a log, heh. We got back to the apartments at 5:30 pm, and then I stayed for the bbq for a bit. I got home around 6:30, ugh. I am only kind of embarrassed to admit that I was in bed by 8:30, and sound asleep by 9 pm.
Yesterday, we went to the diner for breakfast, and I desperately tried to shake off the cobwebs. We had a bbq/baby shower to go to over in Malden, so I rallied for a bit. We only stayed for a couple of hours, though, because I was practically falling asleep standing up. I left just as she was about to start opening presents, because I couldn't bear to get stuck there, heh. Last night, I somehow managed to stay awake til 10, but it was touch and go for a bit.
I am still freaking exhausted, and this week is also crazy. So I am already looking forward to Sunday, which is the first day I don't have anywhere to be. I'm daydreaming about my couch right now, heh.

Nope. It sucks, and it really, really chaps my ass. The Coordinators get OT because they're non-exempt, but as a Director, I'm exempt and SOL. They claim it evens out, because there's a big chunk of time that I don't have programs or work outside of my regular hours, but it's kind of BS. This is the only place I've ever worked as an exempt employee where there's no comp time. The weekend stuff doesn't bug me as much (well, this one did), but when I'm stuck working on a holiday (or traveling/working a conference), it really pisses me off that they don't offer up anything. And when we're on program, we're here sometimes from 7 in the morning til 8 or 9 o'clock at night, but we don't get any sort of comp time to take when we're done.
Sorry about the tear - I could bitch about this for hours.

Ha, I wish! Unfortunately, my office is in the main office suite, and three of the senior managers have to walk right by me to get to their offices. Womp womp. I'm going to shut up and stop derailing the thread now.

Weekend was good... Friday we had some friends over for pizza & a movie... Saturday was my step-brother's wedding. It was hot as balls standing on the beach with a squirmy, sweaty 10 month old. THen the hall afterwards wasn't entirely air-conditioned... we left pretty early. Yesterday we went to Ikea & bought a few things for the kiddo's playroom.
