I worked 7am-6pm on Monday, 7:30am-1:00am on Tuesday, came in late yesterday and worked 11:30am-7:30pm and I'll probably pull 12 hours today and tomorrow. Its quacking ridiculous. I'm on salary and in management in an academic environment. I honestly didn't work this hard or this long in nightclubs and restaurants.
Lately my work has been slow, and been running a lot of 9 hour shifts instead of 10. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday I left at 4 instead of 5. The one day I wanted to leave early this week, I got sent off to a different department and was stuck there until 5. Go figure.
There are only 6 people in my office, and we split up the office for lunch office "coverage". 3 people take lunch at 12, 3 people take lunch at 1... It's 1:43 and all 3 of the 12 o clock bunch are not back yet, and the other 2 1 o clock lunchers have their doors closed.
Guess who gets to sit here and not have a break? UGH. WTF?????? I don't mind at all when it's like ~20 minutes or less, but seriously it's almost the end of my lunch how and I have to be available for anyone who walks in the door.
So. Annoying.
1:55. Same shit. I wouldn't care if it didn't make me look like a slacker to actually take my full hour and not come back until 3... Also don't want to snitch anyone out for taking late/long lunches every day. But this is super lame.

Ugh. We have a sales rep that leaves everyday at noon. On print day, she left, didn't check her emails and we were waiting on her clients to approve artwork for the magazine. My publisher and I both called her to find out about art. She called back an hour later and asked what the emergency was. When she came back in, it was obvious that she went home and slept. I get read receipts on emails and she didn't even check her emails until she got back to the office. We went to print a day late, and she makes it out like it productions fault because she didn't get ads until late. Not the fact that she leaves early everyday, doesn't do her work, and expects me to either do it or cover for her.
If I was do that, I would never hear the end of it, get written up and who knows what. I don't understand how some people can slack, take extra long lunches, not do their jobs and still have work. I am sorry that you are in that situation.
I decided to take a nap on my break. Worst decision ever. Despite how wonderful those 15 minutes felt, I am now much more tired. I also decided to sleep not eat, so now I'm crabby and I just want to go home. 11 hours down, 1 hour to go.
Oh yea, except my car battery died. And no one on my shift has jumper cables. So I have to hope someone on first shift does....
Not to mention that I'm losing my voice and sound like a 12 year old boy going through puberty.
Co worker A is an angry little elf. Always pissed off about something. Even when she's being positive she's bitching about something.
Co worker B is house hunting and tends to see the negative in everything. She's picky and kinda high strung and feeds off the people around her. (ie, if you're in a good, she's in a good mood and vice versa).
They have been talking about houses for the past six hours. SIX HOURS of bickering about floors and appliances. Six hours of debating about the advantage of a first floor master vs a second floor. Is it better to have your laundry on floor level or second story? Paint is an easy fix. Painting a whole house is too much work. What's your opinion on jack and Jill bathrooms? Having the vanity in the bedroom is gross because it's like the bathroom is in your bedroom, and that's gross. Plant ledges look stupid. But plant ledges add character. Hilliard's property taxes are too high. Dublin is too uppity. W Broad street is too busy. Fuck the east side. Having a house by a park is nice. Having a house by a park could mean shadiness. Columbus schools are shit. Grove City schools are shit.
Mind you were on like week 3 of this.. Maybe more. Co worker A works my damn nerve. And she gets coworker B all rilled up...
In my department, there's a subsection I often work in that requires picking inner packs out of larger cases. These small items are put into cardboard boxes, and sorted by whatever store they'll end up going to.
In a cost cutting move, they stopped ordering the cardboard boxes and want to replace them with trash bags. Not the heavy duty black ones, the clear ones that easily tear and rip if you put more than a few pounds in them. It seems a ridiculously cheap move for a company that's made over $4B in net income (between 2012 and 2013). And everyone's pretty upset by it, because obviously these bags are falling apart at nearly every stage of the process.

One of the things my Monday starts off with is explaining to my conservative Christian coworker who moonlights as security at a local venue that I'll see him at the Sturgill Simpson show on Thursday with a lady friend that is not who he expects because I split from the wife over a year ago (he didn't know). Fun times. By fun, I mean horribly awkward.

I say just go with it. Start going to as many shows with as many women as possible. No explanations

But this lady wants to go to Sturgill Simpson because she thinks he's awesome. Kind of reduces the drive to look for "many women".

Wait which one is this again? Tinder or church?
Ps at first I was going to say those are the two most polar opposite ways to meet someone possible, but if you really think about it they are pretty much the same thing

"Franklin County 911, Where is your emergency?" "It's not an emergency but......"
12 hours of this. Ugh.
Oh, and my second favorite:
"Franklin County 911, Where is your emergency?" "My house." "And what is your address?" "3479." "3479......... Do you have a street name?" "Cleveland, B." "Is B an apartment?"
Ugh. It's like pulling teeth.
Aaaaand the next phone call is great too.....
"Sheriff Scott's office, Tech 6." "I found my car." "What do you mean you found it?" "Well, it was stolen and I found it." "Ok, where are you at?" "I'm in Columbus." "I understand that, but where are you? What address?" "Wedgewood Apartments." "Do you know the address?" "High Street."

I am losing my mind right now. I have had nothing to do for two days, my boss has been out and neither him or second in command is responding to my email that if they would approve would actually give me something to do, and the rest of the office staff have been having a loud meeting in front of my desk that I am not involved with for 4 hours now.
I can't even concentrate on my music or the ebook I am reading. I actually have pains from boredom.

Threats of violence at the school I teach has made it so only like 40% of students are here today. The folks who are here are hoping they aren't gonna get shot.

That is scary. Our kids shouldn't have to worry about getting shot at school.
