life is like a brick wall...something something ow.

...I'm far too exhausted to think of an appropriately amusing analogy. It's there somewhere. I swear. ...I haven't even started this post and I've already derailed. Can we see where this is going?

SO. Someone decided that I just don't despise work enough as it is and gave me the honor assigned me to fill in for a coworker who is out recovering from surgery. I am thrilled. Really. Only not. What does this mean? This means that Skittles will be working 10 hour shifts every other day (maybe more if they make me stay late) and those days will have her waking up around 4:30-5 AM. Skittles also gets bad flashbacks of working this particular department before quitting it, and is extra grumpy in general with the entire ordeal.

I'm not going anywhere, but I may be slower. I was told this would only be three weeks, but I'm hearing from others that it might be more like two months, so I really don't know. And since I fail at standing up for myself I'm kinda stuck with it for now. I'm sorry in advance for any flaking that may happen. Hopefully most days won't be as terrible as today was, and I'll have no problem with being up for tagging and catching up on things. (Unlike tonight where there is just chocolate and alcohol.)

This affects Paige here, [livejournal.com profile] lawyerlarry, [livejournal.com profile] mr_stealthypnts, and [livejournal.com profile] thatsmy_niche.

...there may also be a move on the horizon that would result in me being without net for a very short period of time, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there. Brick wall, RL, etc etc.

...I ramble too much.

Gosh, Skittles, you just gonna ramble all night? Hahaha, see what I did there. Oh man, I need to socialise more.

Take care of yourself. Work is lame, but think of it this way: MONEY, MONEY, MONEY. You're my hero for waking up at 4.30-5AM. I am not a nice or functional person at that time.

So be sure to take care of yourself and don't worry about us here. :) ♥ And I hope they clarify how long you're doing this for! Totally unprofessional to not tell you straight up. ;/
