God Damn It All To HELL! (Insomnia Part II)

I finally fell asleep. At 6:00 in the morning. Here's the breakdown of the day's events. 6:00 AM - Fall asleep 7:55 AM - Alarm shrieking, I wake up with a start. I had to be at work at 8:00. Oh great. It's going to be a fun day. Thank goodness I took a shower last night. I throw on some clothes, gargle with some mouthwash and I'm out the door. 8:10 AM - I call work to let them know I'll be a "Few minutes late" 8:15 AM - Lake Shore Drive is a parking lot. FUCK. 8:30 AM - I arrive at work... a few MORE minutes late than I had hoped. Now here is where I must decide whether I want to blog about work or not, because someone might just read this. All I will say is that the reason why I had to be at work so early is because I was asked to come in early by my manager the night before to work on something, and he couldn't get a hold of the other two people in my area. So he got me. "Fine, I'll be there" I said. So when I got to work, BOTH of my co-workers were already there. And so... WHY again did I bust my ass to get here this morning? (I guess that breaks down the "blogging about work" bit.) 1:00 PM - Free lunch. Whooo hoo! I love when meetings get out and there's food left over. 3:30 PM - Meeting with manager and partner about project. I had to leave at 4:15 at the latest for a doctor's appointment. And to get home in time for my computer to arrive. Now they're giving me a project to get done in an hour. Uh-huh. 4:45 PM - I leave work, frustrated and handing the job off to my also-frustrated co-worker. 4:50 PM - Too late for the doctor's office. I reschedule the appointment, but still go home. I'm exhausted, after all. Plus, my computer is coming! UPS said they'd deliver after 5:00 PM. 5:15 PM - I arrive at home. No InfoNotice from UPS - they haven't arrived yet. Cool. 5:45 PM - Still waiting. 6:00 PM - Yep, still waiting. 6:30 PM - Hmmm... wonder what's on TV. 7:00 PM - You guessed it. 7:15 PM - I call UPS. They have no record that anyone had been to my house, but "They have to make an attempt today before 7:00 PM." "It's past that," I retorted. "Oh... well, sometimes they do run late." "We'll see. If they don't arrive with it I will have to call to make other arrangements." 8:15 PM - Still no delivery. 9:30 PM - Here I am, typing away on my blog, on my OLD computer. So let's recap. I had one sleepless night. I busted my ass to get to work, only to find my coworkers already there (who they said they couldn't get a hold of the night before.) I cancelled my doctor's appointment, I got home in time for UPS, and they never arrived. Plus, I was supposed to have gone to a chorus marketing meeting tonight, which I missed, because I was waiting for UPS. My day sucked. How was yours? I'm going to bed now.
