horrible no-good very bad day

[titusnowl]

Work sucks. Too much to do at work, too much to do at home. Thirteen things going on at once and all of them are going wrong. I used the wrong sort of paper on one job and the guy CHANGED HIS MIND about the paper on another one AFTER i'd run it all and on yet another I ran it on the wrong sort of paper the first time and when i went to make it right the copier broke and there's a HUGE job that's due first thing friday morning and I only managed to get it half done, it is all hand-collated and stapled for 875 sets totalling over 10,000 copies, and another one has 4,000 sheets of carbonless paper and the only machine that runs carbonless paper is on the opposite side of the store and it needs to be babysat or else it falls all over the floor and i have to get down on hands and knees and put it back in order (has already happened once) and there is another that the guy emailed me two files and says he wants one copy of each and bound but he didn't say what kind of binding or whether he wants them bound together or in two separate sets and i can't get a hold of him and the doors won't lock properly because the frame is busted so if you try you can break it rather easily and I am in here all by myself.

Also I'm still not done packing at home and we won't have help from justin's uncle because he can't get the day off and there's not enough ROOM

and somebody just came up to the door and tried to yank it open even though it's locked and i went and told her we closed at 10 and she didn't believe me and i pointed to the hours posted on the door and repeated myself and she said "i thought you were open 24 hours" what kind of an idiot is she? we obviously are not if i'm TELLING you we closed at 10 and it says on the DOOR that we close at 10, really now come on don't be stupid. i'm not making it up. i didn't put a sticker with the hours on the door just to piss you off. for christ's sake.

i'm seriously having some sort of panic attack or nervous breakdown or something which is why i am typing all in smalls because it is approximating the way i am thinking and talking right now very fast and monotone and i am so worried i am pulling my hair out

and did i mention i dyed my hair last night but it came out all streaky and stupid looking and i don't know what to do about that either

god i want to crawl in a hole

I know this is a cliche honey.....but "this too shall pass."

Just remember that cliches get to BE cliches because they are generally true, or at least they have a grain of truth you can build INTO the truth. Or something.

Unasked for advice coming, dodge the bullet if you wish by skipping to your next comment.

Make a list of the things you need to do and when you need to have them done. (One for work too, if it applies) Prioritize and focus on only the top item until you have it done, then proceed to item #2. You'd be surprised how much you can get through when you aren't worrying about ten things at a time.

And deep breaths don't hurt, either.

My Love,

Cheri

The problem is that everything needs to be done at the same time right now. All the stuff at work was due first thing in the morning, except that one really big job (and that one I had to do as much as ossible because of its magnitude). All the stuff at home needs to be done by Friday, because that's when we're moving. It's hard to prioritize when EVERYTHING needs to get done at the same time.
