Overworked, angry and going bald.

Yes, bald from pulling my hair out. Seriously, a 10 hour day spent trying to do the work of two people really takes it out of you. It's frustrating because it didn't have to be like this. We had a guy call out today because...get this...it's raining. Yes, it's frikin RAINING. He called in late twice and finally decided to just not come in at all and ditched us for the day. So here we are on one of the busiest days of the busiest week of the year short one tech. Happy frikin days. So I had an incredibly ADHD day running from workstation to workstation backing up people. Then the delivery shows up and I got that checked in. The phreakin phone was ringing off the hook the fax machine kept running out of paper and dude decides to call out because he got wet riding to work on his motorcycle in the rain. We managed to keep our heads above water but just barely. My back and knees are killing me.

So here I am going through the day from hell and this guy calls wanting us to carry something we don't carry and order it so it'll get to the store an hour before he called us. He insisted that he knew we really carry the item because he built CVS and he knows what we have on our shelves. He absolutely knows what's on the shelf better than I would. I mean I'm only the inventory specialist for our store. I put him on hold so he could have the same conversation with our pharmacist that I just had. I think the idiot was drunk or something. He livened things up a bit.

I have tomorrow off. If Friday is anything like today was I'm going to end up totally bald.

Oh, as promised, I'm letting you guys know I got my notebooks in the mail! The three pack came with a pen, a pencil and a sticker as well. It was a bright spot in an otherwise crappy day. I can't wait to fill it up with the nifty little bits of string that come out of my imagination.
