And so it begins...

I had to work late again last night. The hours are slowly creeping upwards. I will have to work part of Sunday as well. I could do it today but I need rest. It was a very long week.

The stress finally started getting to me yesterday. I got some scary news about Matt and it turned out to be not as scary as someone led me to believe. It was a 'health' scare made into more than it actually was. It stressed me out for the three hours I didn't know what was going on and couldn't get hold of Matt. I was upset because a) I can't deal with project staff turnover and b) he's my friend. The thing is, it is serious what is wrong but it's not life threatening but rather seriously life disrupting. So, he won't let me be nice to him but he'll be back in two weeks. He gave me $6 before he left because he farted in the conference room. I plan to grow rich collecting money every time he gets vile in there. Yes, two weeks apart will probably be the best thing ever for all of us concerned.
But then my stress compounded because of the unhappiness of my two coworkers who are also some of my closest friends. I don't blame them for how they feel but I don't want them to leave me stuck there either. I have to stay..well, I don't have to but it would be incredibly stupid if I didn't. But I made the decision to stay and I can't really change that for six months after the merger. So a week of migraines, a health scare, professional chaos and all that.. I should go on a drinking bender - lol!

Last night I tried to go to sleep as soon as I got home. I talked to Chad briefly and I was rather cranky so I just ended that conversation quickly but then I couldn't go to sleep. Finally fell asleep around midnight.
So today is bigtime laundry and clean up day. My house looks like a pack of wolves moved in. A pack of dirty wolves. I am off to Target shortly for garbage bags and dynamite, I have a feeling that's the only thing that is going to help me right now :-P
