  • Yesterday

    Yesterday was probably the worst day as far as frustration / bad things happening than I've had in a long time. First off, someone ran into the back of the newspaper van (evidently) and dented the hatch. It's in the body shop getting fixed. I'm guessing my boss didn't call the police, which I can kinda understand because no one saw anything.

    Okay, then I get lost trying to follow directions to a town I'd 1) never been to and 2) only knew of one route to. Next time I won't, but it just added to the pressure when I had to bring the van back so it could be taken to the shop then take my car to make that final run on the route I did know. I worked ten hours with no real break unless you count the time when I'm hanging around the Gazette back rooms in the morning, but no lunch.

    In between all this, evidently my predecessor neglected to tell me of one subscription drop-off I was supposed to do in one town. So my boss was on the phone trying to smooth that over.

    I had to go back this morning to finish up because everyone was gone by the time I got back.

    Okay, I need to get back on my schoolwork. I'm meeting a friend for lunch, I've got to sign some paperwork, and I've got class again this afternoon/evening which will entail a lot more homework than we had Tuesday. LOL.
