you know those days - when 2 of 5 people in your group call in sick, and the 3rd person isn't scheduled to work, leaving just 2 people to handle the tasks of 5, and it's Monday, so you know there's mounds of stuff left over from Friday, along with the normal beginning of the week rush.
This morning was one of those morning that I half contemplated calling in because I just didn't want to get up (that's been happening more often on Mondays lately...) and so it's good I came in, but to this? It's also one of those days that really, the stress doesn't register like it normally might because everyone knows there's no way you'll be able to keep up with everything today. That just means that whatever's left will be here tomorrow, waiting. Hopefully by the end of the week it'll all balance out. If not, well, that's what they pay me overtime for.

And when one of the people who does show up brought some weird pudding for the five of you, and is going to get all hurt if it doesn't get eaten, so you have to eat like 9 bowls of it, cause you suspect this co-worker might be suicidal, and might do the deed that very day if his pudding is rejected, and your trying to eat it but your so steamed on qualudes that the words seem to be cascading down your computer screen like a sleepy, electric rainbow, and this guy is going on and on about the ingredients, and how it's amazing the you can use paprika in a dessert, and you wonder if your boss is actually your boss or a giant, talking condor, and, if a talking condor, should be protected or destroyed and you feel like this decision should be made within the next ten minutes cause otherwise your going to vomit 4.5 lbs. of paprika rice pudding onto a $700 flat screen monitor?
I'm with you.
so in this scenario I would have a flat screen monitor? I think I could handle that...but not rice pudding, I had a bad experience in high school. Massive amounts of uneaten rice pudding, it was brutal.
I like how, of that whole scenario, only the flat screen monitor and the rice pudding seem far-fetched.
