Wow, almost Bah Humbug

I'm in a decidedly foul mood this morning. As in there's almost two me's, one just enh, flowing along with things, and this other one, who is very very angry. I VERY OBVIOUSLY don't do so well with days off to rest, especially after a high volume, high stress week. yesterday was pretty bad, I didn't even leave the house. And I was supposed to. I just couldn't do it. I'd encountered enough nasty people over the weekend that I just didn't want to go anywhere. Then Teh Unit called back, to ask me if I'd checked in on So and So, or had I done Such and Such. Uh, HI, you're the one that moved, I did NOT automatically become the caretaker around here. It wasn't that she'd asked, she hadn't, it's just she assumed I would just think of and do. I didn't do it before she left, why would I do it now?

It just wasn't a restful day, I had trouble getting to sleep, had trouble STAYING asleep and woke up cranky, AND I'm sans coffee. I'm thinking of volunteering to make a run, just to get out of the office and correct my way of thinking. I've been here a half hour.

Meh - it's just I have responsibilities that clash with one another. Whenever I try and fix things, I get whined at from all sides. Makes me want to pick up, give the world the finger ("Can you see this? I'm doing this as hard as I can, Ur.") and go away. Pre Tax Season, this is bad.

I think I need to make a coffee run. I think it might help.

Ahhhh, so THAT was the problem

After driving a bit aimlessly, and FINALLY deciding on lunch, I ended up with a large crunchy chicken sub (which was too large IMHO, but will nicely keep me going to eat an abbreviated dinner later) and a large Hazelnut with Cream and Sugar. Normally I go without the coffee accessories, but today I need the pick me up.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I already feel more centered and alert. Some days I don't need the coffee, some days it's a requirement!
And content! What a magical drink!

Now, to hope everyone leaves early so I can scoot out of here a bit early myself. Yay!

(welcome to mood swing central, population: me. I'm back to being all perky about this weekend.)

PSA - my cellphone

Because I'm fairly certain someone who reads this just called a bit ago.

- if you call me from a number I don't recognize, I might not answer
- if you call me and I don't answer, I MIGHT be away from my phone. I do pee on occasion.
- if you call me from a number I don't recognize, I'm damn well not calling back unless I know who it is, and it's OK to return the call.
- if you call me from a number I DO recognize, and it's right after an angst filled LJ, I'm SO not answering the phone.
- if you call me during the day - remember I'm at work, and might not be able to just chat.

The person who just called, from a number I don't recognize didn't leave me a voice mail. I have NO idea why you called, I don't even know who it is that called. And honestly, if you're calling to ask me a favor, making sure you "get" me on the phone isn't the way to go - I'm more likely to do favors when I can do them in my own time. OBVIOUSLY this might not be the case, this could be someone who needs me right away. In that case, I don't KNOW that because you didn't leave me a message!

So, in closing, leave a message. it's MY voicemail, noone else checks it. Tell me just what the VM message asks, who you are, what you want, and how to get a hold of you when I have a minute. If it's important, and you can't leave a message, leave me a ping on an email, or LJ comment, because OBVIOUSLY I check that. I DO step away, so if you're bleeding or stuck in a dangerous situation, please call an ambulance or the police, because if you were able to dial my number, you can dial 911.

KTHNXBYE.
