so much for my weekend. the weekend receptionist is *still* "too sick to work" so i've got to cover for her.

seriously, has she got the plague or something? she was helping the other girl cover until i was trained, and ended up ditching a couple of those shifts earlier this week.

if she's that fucking sick i hope she gets her ass to a doctor. how sick do you have to be that you can't take some of those wonderful over-the-counter drugs and make it to a damn 5 hour shift?!

i'm not sure if i'm more angry at her for being a big baby or myself for agreeing to take her stupid shift.

i just feel so run down right now. i just want to get a good night's sleep for once. so far i haven't been able to fall asleep before midnight and then i have to get up in the middle of the night to let the puppy out.

i haven't made up for the sleep i lost when i was sick and crash kept us up, and i'm still not getting enough sleep. i'm just exhausted.

i was really looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow and getting a few things done around here. now my whole day is going to be shot. i only work until 3 but i know i'm going to come home and just collapse into a pile of useless grouchiness.

grr!

things have been really slow at work, so if it remains slow tomorrow i should be able to get a few things done. i can work on my writing at the very least.

but still. sleep is my #1 priority and i'm just not getting it. seriously, i've got something like a 30 hour sleep deficit to make up for.

i take sleep very seriously. when i consistently lose sleep, i get like this - overly susceptible to sickness, unable to concentrate, stressed, depressed and restless. i can't get anything done because all i want do is sleep, but if i try to sleep before 11 i just lie in bed for hours.

it's a damn good thing i like my job. but i'm not taking anymore shifts for people (at least not for a while, especially not on the weekend).

daily dose of stupid:
the business of stupidity
the district manager stopped off at the sales office and asked the supervisor, "exactly how many people work in this office?"
the supervisor looked around the room and said, "almost half of them."
