Has anyone out there been so frustrated they could cry? I guess this week at work is my punishment for having the weekend off (what a tiring one it was) and next Saturday off. I come back to work head first running into this and running into that. This has been another day where I have gotten none of my work done, but I have gotten other people's work done. I am not saying this to offend, but dammit every once in awhile it would be nice to do the work that is piled up on my desk! I also seem to have a problem with scheduling. Last week in the midst of an emotional turmoil I called my boss on my late day to ask her if she would mind if I took the rest of the day off...I had a million things to do and my emotions were haywire. I was told that it was FINE, but she had a baseball game to go to at five and that would oly leave three people working in the library until for an hour. OH MY GOD! So I came in as soon as I could (at four) and sat in the back and did my work for two hours. But, she did not take in the fact that just the week before we worked almost FOUR WHOLE DAYS with just three people and made it just fine or that this week we are basically doing the same thing, especially tommorrow when I had an important doctor's appointment I just had to cancel. SIGH.
It seems like everytime I get sick or have an appointment I get a guilt trip and we can't make it with only three people, but for some strange reason when I am here we are just fine. I don't know. To top things off my whole week has been thrown off kilter because people are out and I had to go to a meeting yesterday. I was suppossed to leave at 4:45 today because I have to come in at 8:00 tommorrow morning, but that was messed up because of the rain and just as I was going to leave W. had to rush out because her road was flooding. I can see that this week I will get none of my work done...and next week very little because I am taking a couple of days off. When is it my time? I am the only one who goes from place to place so I don't feel like people understand how I feel when I am pulled away from my desk and my work ALL the time. I can never plan to do this or do that the next day because I never know where I will be.
Tears are appearing and I just want to go home.
