Veteran's Day and an Etiquette Question
2002-12-31 - 9:02 a.m.
Blahs
I'm mentally exhausted. I hit the wall this morning sometime between digging a splinter out of my foot and walking out the front door.
I haven't had a stress free day in what feels like weeks (I'm sure it hasn't been that bad, but it feels like it).
My Christmas was wonderful, don't get me wrong, but still, there's a bit of stress when you're in someone else's house. You have to keep your stuff neat and reasonably orderly, you end up picking up after other people, you have to watch what you say and be on good behavior.
I was looking forward to New Year's Day until Christmas Day. I talked to my sister and she'll be in town (she's riding in to work with her husband who works in Richmond) and wants to get together and do some window shopping, etc. Which means I have to clean house and be "presentable" tomorrow. What I really want to do is sit at home in my p.j.'s and play with my weaving stuff or the playstation. But I can't. The last time I begged off, I got a few days worth of "I'm starting to feel like you don't want to see me, you're always cancelling", so I can't do that. I've also heard the chorus of "you've never invited me to your house" so I've got to do that, even though it stresses me out to no end. I was hoping to be able to leave at noon to get started on cleaning, (the rumor was that we MIGHT get 1/2 a day today, but we found out yesterday it was just that, a rumor).
I just don't feel good today so there's no way I'm going to get it even reasonable by tomorrow.
Now just this morning, I got an email at work asking for reviewers (that'd be me) to come in and work "overtime" (the last time they looked for volunteers on a holiday week, they were paid straight time, not time and a half). I asked my boss if it would be overtime or time and a half, and he's not sure, he has to ask our HR person and will "get back to me." Yeah, sure, okay.
I've been in the office for the past two weekends, and I really want a day that's just MINE.
I woke up this morning with the thought of "I don't have kids, why can't I get a good night's sleep and wake up whenever the hell I want to? I'm up every morning at 6AM, and I spend the early morning trying hard to make sure I don't wake up Alan so at least one of us can get some sleep. I just really wish it was me who could sleep in late.
We've got 12th Night coming up, we don't know where we're going to be staying, and I don't have gifts for anyone yet, that's not good.
I just don't want to be here today.
Please don't forget to answer my survey... it's research for a small business idea... all comments appreciated, no reasonable offer refused!!! It won't take five minutes, I PROMISE!
