so much crankiness

[fiercebunny]

It's been ages since I've posted, but there's really nothing to update because nothing's been happening in my life except for work, work work. Seriously, work is sucking so hard right now. I have overtime every day and I've also had to come in and do a half day on my first day off, every week for a freaking month now. It is making me exceedingly cranky and bitchy. I want a proper weekend, damn it!

Also, they've changed a lot of the computer programs that we use at work and I've convinced that whoever programmer designed them must really hate people. Or maybe they just spend all their time coding and haven't talked to actual people in a really long time. I think I'm relatively proficient with computers but these programs are really user unfriendly. And they error out and go down all the time. This, on top of being swamped with a queue of 100-300 callers on a daily basis.

Ugh, I wanted to post an update and didn't really want to focus the whole update about complaining, but I can't get work annoyance out of my headspace right now. But that's pretty much where I'm at right now, just a continuous state of UGH. If I can just get to next month, I will finally have some consecutive days off. Just one more week.

I think I'm going to go find some alcohol now.

ETA: Okay, to be honest, I did go to Dallas this month (though my vacation was still curtailed by the mandatory overtime) and had a nice time. I had really good seafood at Pappadeaux's and bought a pair of $200 boots at Anthropologie that were on sale for $54. Yaaaaaaay boooooooots. So that was literally my one highlight of the month so far.

ETA 2: I found some red wine. yaaaaaay. I'm starting to feel a lot better already. Going to drink and rewatch series 5 of Doctor Who. wooo.

Sorry you are being overwhelmed by work. That's never fun. But at least Yay! Anthropologie boots which are marked down!

ps, let me know if you still want a Poko bag. I have heard that LJ comment notifications might not be getting through so thought I would mention it here that I have a pink one for you.

Hope things ease up so you can get a bit of time off. Do they just need to hire more people?

[caerbannog.livejournal.com]

Yes, I would still like a poko bag. I sent you a twitter too. The internet is being weird today. LJ is down, but Tumblr is working; it's upside down day.

I'm glad that you were able to cheer up the people at Poko Cafe. It's nice to be able to help.

Work is a combination of mishaps and not preparing well enough. They are hiring more people, but training takes a month, so it will be awhile before things settle. Thank you for your good wishes, they do cheer me up.

Got your message, thank you! Replied on Twitter.

When I got up this morning both Twitter and LJ were down. LJ is getting DOS big time so that could continue.

Boo to too much work. Maybe knowing that in a few minutes 100% of everything sold on Sanrio.com is going to Japan? It's for 3/31 from 12 am to 11 pm. I'm hoping I can get a Tokidoki bag at least =)

Just sent payment. :)

And thanks for letting me know about Sanrio! Like I need any reason to buy Hello Kitty, but now it'll be for a good cause. ;)

Thanks! Can you e-mail me your address? Paypal isn't showing it. I don't know why they changed that but on some payments it's not there.

blukat99 at gmail dot com or just message me here on LJ.

[aoi-no-neko.livejournal.com]

Ah never mind, I found your addy in an old e-mail.

darn paypal. I'm hoping to mail all the bags tomorrow.

[caerbannog.livejournal.com]

Maybe it had to do with how it was sent? I wasn't sure which option to pick, so I just put it down as gift. But if you have my addy already, it's all good.

And thank you for the poko bag. I think it was a really good idea and I was happy to help out.

Boo on the work stuff, but yay for little vacation and fab boots. Pappadeaux is one of my favorite seafood haunts when I'm in TX.

(There was a wine tasting at Two Olives a little over a week ago and if you like sweet reds pick up a bottle of Cosmopolitan Wine at Moore Liquor. Made right here!)

I will have to keep an eye out on the Two Olives, I've never been there before. I haven't tried any Oklahoma wines before either, that would be fun, not to mention that it's nice to support local business.

I wish we had a place like Pappadeaux's here. I'm already craving seafood again.
