Stuck at work two hours late again today. Blew my goal of getting out at or at least near 5pm this week kinda out of the water. I didn't get a project done because my boss and I got a wire crossed about when she needed it and now I have to finish it first thing tomorrow and have it couriered over to Minneapolis before a meeting. Argh. The bulk mailing that was already late got even more screwed up, which is why the lateness today. At least I had company for it (my coworkers stayed late to help get it mostly completed), and I think the fault for the screw up can equally be shared by the three of us, which makes me not feel quite as crappy about it, but blaaarrrgh. Didn't take a lunch again, missed a text message from vaxjo, and never once checked lj or even my non-work email. I think I even forgot to get the mail today. How do stupid little office tasks take so damn long? Between working an hour or two later than normal every day (and probably not getting paid for it), coming in on the weekend this weekend so the new network can get set up, and a chance of not getting the days off I want next month (my co-worker already planned on being in France at the same time), I'm not very happy about work lately. Except I like the job and the people and the atmosphere and all that other stuff, I just want to not be so damned busy ALL THE TIME. I'm tired. I miss making stuff and I feel too tired to work on my art stuff most of the time. I'm not sure if I'm still catching up from being gone or if this is just what I have to get used to. We're getting things streamlined... I'm hoping this is just what happens while I have to do all this stuff but haven't learned how to do things either the old way or the new, better way yet, so I get to learn both ways half-assed until the new way gets implemented and I get good at it. It's all messy and stressful.

Had lots of fun this weekend, at least.
