Where did the day go?????

I hate Mondays. I should love them - they are my "day off" afterall. But.......that makes me hate them more. You see - no one cares that it is my day off. In 1 1/2 hours I've had 12 - twelve phone calls. Only one was pleasant, but it still added to my work load. YIKES!!!!!

I had scheduled a training class for this morning - so got up very early and got everything ready and headed out around 7:00am for an 8:30 meeting. OUCH...damn, I'm outta shape on these early morning work days!

Anywho......traffic on 27 was horrible. This drive usually only takes about 1 hr. Today, between traffic, big trucks driving slow, road construction oh and the ticket I got for running a red light in front of a FHP officer I ended up 28 mins late for my meeting.

Gotta hate when that happens.

So..........had my meeting and headed back home, running the list of things I needed to get done through my mind like the tape in a 10 key calculator. As I'm almost home.....the phone started ringing.

Tammi? Please send me this. Tammi? I can you just send me that form now? Tammi? I really want to add these to my order form can you get me that right away? Tammi? I asked you to send me this, where is it?

On and On and On and On. Now most of these calls means more business. YEAH! But everything they are asking for needs to be created or edited or downloaded and customized. All of which takes time. TIME. T.I.M.E.

I have no time. None. Nope. Nada. I'm sitting here in the dark living room, FOX News on, realizing I need to eat. I've been on the phone with 4 different customers in the last 32 mins. I still have 4 reports to finish, 2 order forms to customize, 3 pricing sheets to proof and, well - you get the idea.

So where did the sun go? Where did the Time go? Where is that flippin' HouseCleaning Fairy when I need her!!!

My printer is out of yellow ink hence it won't print anything, including the faxes that are piled up in it's memory!

Yeah, it's Monday. Damn..... Some day off Huh!

BUT........tomorrow....tomorrow.......tomorrow. I have a meeting at 9:30 and then I'm having lunch with a friend. At 3:00 I'll head to the airport. You see....I have the honor of picking up my Beloved BlogFather at the airport. He and his beloved wife are arriving. Tomorrow. Less than 24 hours from now.

I'm so flippin' excited....you just can't imagine. Tomorrow!!

So, tonite I'll work until I fall asleep with the laptop on my lap. (I've done that the last 3 nights.) I'll wake up tomorrow and No One, Nothing will dampen my day.

Mr. Bad Example is Comin' to Town!!!!
