I had such a crappy day today, I can hardly stand it.
Work was pretty awful, with nit-picking supervisors and re-do’s and paperwork deadlines aplenty. That, of course, is on top of the general awful that my work sometimes entails — talking about abuse situations, setting firm boundaries with parents, and saying goodbye to the clients who are actually doing well.
My phone bill is overdue (apparently?) and I couldn’t call anyone to vent about the terrible day until I forked over some cash to T-mobile. That’s not such a big deal, except that the whole deal with getting informed about a raise and then not having that raise “go through” for 3 months is really, really crappy. I need money now. Today, in fact. Preferably wired directly to T-mobile so that I can call someone and bitch. Sure, the raise will be retroactive to a certain date, once it goes through, but that does me no good if I can’t pay my phone bill today.
I got home and the new dog had eaten the mail, the curtains, the towel over his crate, and the corner of a box holding my roommate’s vinyl records. I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before he eats the records themselves unless I buck up and crate him when I am gone. Meanwhile, I find shreds of things — curtains, towels, bills — everywhere.
Yes, this was the delightful day that I had selected for my first weigh-in.
