Is it time to go home yet?

[selenay]

Today is shaping up to be a bad day of monumental proportions. I arrived
bright and early to get a head start on my work and hopefully leave early.
Um, yeah, right. There was an email sitting in my inbox when I arrived to
say that there were problems with the overnight processing so there are no
figures for yesterday in our data warehouse.

Guess what all my automated morning reports tell people?

So I have now recalled a bunch of reports and sent out apologies. The IT
guys estimate that the data will be there "by 3pm", which is company speak
for "not in your lifetime probably". Yay.

We are also getting intermittant "Disk is full" errors when saving to the
shared drive. Sometimes days can go by without it happening. Then you'll try
to save, the error will happen and you'll have to wait 30 seconds before
trying again at which point it usually saves. The record today so far is 20
minutes wait. It's going to be a very slow day, what with missing data, slow
data warehouse while they try to load the missing data and now network
problems making even saving stuff a chore. So, as the subject says, is it
time to go home yet?

The parents are out for a meal tonight and we have a visiting catering
company doing lunch at the canteen today who are apparently Very Good. They
do Indian food and it tastes just as good as it smells, according to the
rave reviews last Wednesday. So I am doing a rare thing and eating in the
canteen today rather than bringing in sandwiches. I may buy myself some
really evil ice-cream on the way home to eat while veging out in front of
the TV. It's turning into that kind of day.

I'm feeling much better than I was yesterday afternoon and hopefully I won't
be crashing again like that, despite the nastiness of today. And last night
I finished knitting the first patch on my sister's blanket, so she now has
1/63rd of a blanket. Yay!

Well I'm glad to hear you're feeling better, but poopy pants for the crap day at work.

I hope the food was as good as advertised, because that would make you feel better and I think the ice cream sounds like a marvellous idea. *nods head sagely*

Had another little 'episode' this afternoon, not quite as badly this time, so my "yay, all better" might have been premature. I think that I'm just really tired, though. Hope that's all it is, anyway.

The food was as good as advertised and improved the generally crap day. I now have Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice-cream and Holby City waiting for me downstairs. Shallow? Me? ;-)

I hope that's all it is too. Feel really better soon and enjoy your shallow evening *g*

I enjoyed it muchly :-) I've been sleeping a fair bit this weekend in hopes that I'll feel better, but all I seem to have achieved so far is sore neck and shoulders! It's possible that I'm feeling stressed for reasons that I can't identify, so it's a good thing that I have a week's holiday starting on Thursday.

Although I am spending a chunk of that time at a con...

Hmm, cons aren't always good for resting, but they *are* good for destressing and generally improving your mood :o)

Like very expensive chocolate!

Does meditation do you any good? Or is the staying in one position too uncomfortable? Thing is, you have so much going on, with work being mostly crap, the move looming (which while thrilling is also stressful) and the pain and the hypermobility. It wouldn't be a shocker to think that these things are ganging up on you a bit.

I hope you get back to good health in time for the con so that you can really enjoy it.

*hugs*

Awww, so sorry lovely! I've had some shit days lately too. I always (or now that I have my license I do ;) ) drive to the next town over for some kickass Coldstones Ice Cream.

Ice-cream is the ultimate comfort food after a bad day!
