Drama

It seems as though, no matter how hard I try, I cannot seem to keep from seeing drama unfold around me.  I simply just can’t walk down the street anymore to the local grocery store without seeing some drama unfold.  It literally makes me sick to my stomache to see the way people are acting these days.

I wish it was 1980 again.  at least the drama back then was hidden from plain sight.

Fridays are sometimes Mondays

I awoke this morning, as every other morning, not wanting to really get out of bed, thinking that it was going to be another boring day at work.  Now don’t get me wrong here, I absolutely love my job and I wouldn’t trade it for the world, but sometimes, it just seems as though time stops and I have nothing to keep me busy.

That is how this week has been for me, not much too do, having to search for things to keep myself busy with (I rearranged my desk about 50 times this week…)  just…. boring.

So Friday morning I wake up and seriously, I’m thinking of just taking the day off and hanging around the house, cleaning and taking care of my honeydew list that I had made for Saturday… but I think God just said… “Go to work… you’re  needed today”

I really felt like saying…”God, whether I’m needed or not, I just don’t want to…”  but as you know…God always wins…

So I get Tabitha off to school, feed the dog, take a shower, get dressed and go to work.

It starts off normal… until….

I walk into my office and the phone rings.  This is sort of unusual for me, I don’t usually get phones calls this early in the morning.  But it was my bosses, boss.

The suit.  the VP.  the man near the top of the Totem pole.

Why me…?  what did I do…?

Now this man is one of the nicest people I know, I’ve known him for many years and he’s a joy just to be in his company.  And because of this, whenever he asked something of me, I feel compelled to do nothing less than my very best for him. (not that I don’t that for anyone…)

But he calls and asks me for some information that I have in one of my many databases that I keep.  So I say it will take a little while to get together but I should have it ready for him by the end of the day.

No problem right?

wrong… it turns out the information that I have is in the wrong format to extract it properly out of the database, so i have to go through and add a category to each field in the database, set that category for each record and then report that data.  (sorry for being technical..)

Well to make this a little shorter…I get to work on what he had asked me for, I then remember that my supervisor had asked me to work on another project and needed that completed by the end of today (he called to remind me…) I also got another call from an individual that works for us that needed me to work on a Law Enforcement case (those are high priority also…)  I also got 2 seperate calls from a company I had been trying to get in contact with for a week about an issue I have had with a program of there’s, the first lady wanted me to attended a national conference call concerning this issue (apparently, my state is not the only one having this problem…) and the second was tech support returning my original ticket.

On top of all that, the “Big Cheese” guy called back and wants me to attend a conference call the first of next week and “present” the information that I gathered for him to the national committee.  *choke*  *cough*

It’s nearly time for me to go home for the day and I am beat.  Mentally stressed and drained.

I have committed myself to the bus ministry at church which takes up sat/sun mornings.  I pray that I have enough strength to get out of bed in the morning.
