MEH!

The weekend went by way too fast and too slow.

Boss and Ro came out Friday night for the event this weekend. With them they brought the puppy... Ping the Pug. He's an adorable bundle of 4 month old energy. The cats however were not nearly as amused by the little boy as the humans were. Alex and Talia hid from this demon creature. Tzar was braver and watched to make sure that this THING didn't destroy his home. A couple times there were some communication issues that lead to Tzar swatting at Ping and the puppy barking. It in all honesty sounded like Tzar had a new squeek toy for a while.

The event would have been more fun if it wasn't for the fact that I'm sick. I"m not entirely sure if it's allergies, a cold or a combination of the two or something else completely. Whatever it is has lead to a very bad breathing weekend. My head is all muddly, my chest feels like a 40 pound iron band is strapped across it and I am sluggish. I spent most of the event curled up in the shade next to the list field trying to not be cranky at people.

This however was hard as [livejournal.com profile] dicea, [livejournal.com profile] bakestondone and I ended up with the care of said Ping monster. This meant every rude and illmanered child came over to play with the puppy. At least grown-up first asked if they could pet the dog before doing so. I lost count on the number of children who just walked over and picked up the puppy without asking. Or worse SAT, on me or dicea so they could be near the puppy.

If it were not for the fact that I really wanted to go to court I would have left at about 11am that morning and not bothered to come back. I like most children. And usually SCAdian children more so. Most SCAdian children have manners, not to mention scads of aunts and uncles to watch and discipline them when mom and dad can't. But frankly it's getting to the point wher even the SCAdian children need a good old fashioned spanking, a stern talking to and their toys taken away until they can learn to behave.

Anyway, court for the event was nice. Several people I like very much got awards they very much deserved. And court didn't take as long as I had feared. This being the last event before coronation it could have been a LOT longer with the "we missed you at other events so we are going to give you your award now" awards.

After court I changed and went home. I would have liked to have gone out with the household for dinner but my lungs and head just wouldn't let me even think about doing anything more than going home and going to bed.

Yesterday was seeing Boss and Ro out early and then having Dicea make me take more cold meds and go back to bed. The sleep was good but I woke up feeling actually worse than when I went back to bed.

This morning I'm still feeling horrible. But I have to go to work. And what makes it worse is that my hours this week suck giant rabid monkey turds. See we have been informed we are getting a new night girl. I guess it's to make up for us getting rid of the wonder twit a couple months ago. But see... the amount of work has been such lately that we really don't need another night girl. Now granted the one that we do have, the one that's been working for the other originations girl, hasn't exactly been doing stellar work. It may be that they want to get this new girl, Stephanie/Samantha/something like that, trained up before they do anything about the other one.

Now nights, while icky, allow me to sleep in and things. But this week I don't get four straight days of nights. I get Monday, Wednesday and Thursday 1pm to 9pm and Tuesday and Friday 8:30am-4:30pm. Yes I had stated I can't work Tuesday night because it's scribal night. So the schedule is partly my fault. That doesnt' mean I can't still whine about it.

Not to mention complain about the fact that if it weren't for the fact that I have to train this girl tonight I"d be calling in because I can barely see and think striaght and can't take a deep breath.

So, to the world I say "MEH!"

I'm going to go find some food and complain to the cats some more before getting ready for work.

So this night thing may or may not be good.

The girl is very nice and apparently isn't working for us per se. She's interning for her paralegal degree. She works in the Service department by day.

This means however that just when she will prove most usefull will be when she will not be able to work due to the internship being over.

I also learned that she is only working Mondays and Wednesdays. So this means I'm working nights Wednesday and Monday. But not Thursday. Being sick I'm not sure if this yo-yo schedule is going to be good.

But I get to work today at 12:30 and find that they have gutted the old kitchen (without finishing the new kitchen), removed one of the two bathrooms (leaving one toilet for both men and women for a total of 40 people) and NO RUNNING WATER.

at about 3 they brought in two porta-sinks that you usually find outside porta-potties. This came about after we got an email from the office manager saying "we will give you some anti-bacterial gel and you can always come over to the other office to use the rest room if you need to". But from what I heared in the rumor mill, apparently Jennifer (the girl who took over for "going to Hawaii Donna" four months ago)called OSHA (sp?) and complained about the lack of running water and THEY called our office manager and informed her to fix the situation some how. Jennifer's opinion is that her last day is Thursday - what are they going to do? Fire her? She got a better job at another law firm. Good for her.

So on top of no running water, one toilet for 40 people and having to work at nght... they are in the process of building the new bathrooms. This includes... CUTTING SHEETROCK IN THE BUILDING!!! I give you three guesses on how well that helped my lack of breathing problem.

I'm also not the only one sick. Kathy was sick all weekend with massive chills and fever. Loni called in today with stomach icks. Barb left early with stomach issues. Linda said she wasn't feeling well and Nadine complained all day of a headache. I just can't breathe or think straight.

I really wish I could not go into work tomorrow. But I got a contract today that needs to close by Monday. So I have to go in and get the file opened and the paperwork started.

Oh well. I'm going to go find some dinner and then go to bed so I can get to work on time tomorrow morning.
