Crazy to still be awake....

Yes I am beyond my usual crazy/insane by still being awake tonight! Why you ask?? Well this week was the week from hell at work! Wednesday and Thursday I worked two 11 hour days. I couldn't do my usual 12 hour days because it was just too much. Monday and Tuesday I had been off because of issues with my back hurting me. And then today...ugh! I started at 7, hoping and praying to get off at 4:15 or at least close to it. But deep down I knew that was NOT gonna happen. Okay so I started to think 6 by the latest or at least close to that. Do you think I was right? Nah. Close to right? Hell NO! Want to take a guess of what time I got off of work? Did you say 7:30? Ehh! Wrong! Try again. Did you say 8:15? Nope, once again WRONG! One more guess and I'll give you a clue...in military time the first two numbers would be 21. Now if by some chance you said almost 9:10 then you would unfortunately be damn right! Some people might be like okay so that's a long day but so what? Now picture yourself stuck in front of a computer all that time and you're flipping through at least 10 different screens and all that time you're stuck comparing numbers on the screen with what is on the check, plus entering in numbers and rechecking numbers and so forth. After a while your hands and mind don't want to work anymore and you start making typos like crazy. Each typo drives you more insane because you know it's another second or two that you are farther away from going home.

More numbers and even more numbers. Writing down numbers on the checks and looking up numbers and comparing numbers, adding numbers and subtracting numbers, dividing numbers and just going insane at seeing so many damn numbers while stuck staring at a computer screen! It wears you out. Especially if in the back of your mind you know this could have been avoided if your boss had set people on the right tasks to begin with instead of screwing around. Now you kind of see what I'm getting at. Plus then you could add in the fact that you do double the work of some people and almost triple the work of others.

Yet here I am soo tired that I'm too tired to even sleep. Of course drinking vodka and red bull isn't helping at all. But hey I needed a drink. At least tomorrow is Saturday and no work! No need to look at numbers all day! Plus I'm looking forward to hanging out with some friends and having a good time.
