Gurk

My day:

7:00- Arrive at work.

9:00- Receive call from central office. Four timesheets are lost. One of them is mine. Am able to redo mine, find one, and discover that a third does not exist, but who the hell knows what happened to the fourth. This all takes about three hours.

10:00- In midst of timesheet crisis, power goes out. The timesheet crisis is dependent on fax machines, which are dependent on electricity. Outage lasts only about two minutes, or 37,000 years crisis time.

12:00- One of the two afternoon shift people calls off. This means that someone else must be found. This procedure takes about an hour, after which time I am left babbling, rocking back and forth and clutching the phone.

And that's before the part where I was nearly left by myself with five residents. You know it's bad when that turns into the LEAST of your problems. I was never so glad when Stacey's primary person called to have me work there tomorrow before in my life.
