My day is never what I expect

I was totally looking forward to today at work. I had been so slammed last week that I was looking forward to getting caught up.

Before I get my coat off, there’s a note on my desk, “Business line on the phone doesn’t work”. Great. So I spent the first hour and a half of my day troubleshooting that and calling the phone company and the place that sold us our phone system as they passed the buck back and forth.

Next our midday person calls in sick, so I have to fill in not one, but both of the shows they record for the day.

Then the boss says, Oh… sorry for the late notice, but we have a meeting at 10am today that we need you to attend.

After lunch I got an e-mail asking me to write some scripts to automate the download of some shows for another market.

And finally, I got asked to fill in for ANOTHER show before the day was over.

Wisely I said “no” to the last two. Heck I didn’t have time anyway.

Maybe tomorrow will be easy?

Glad the weekend is here, because I’m about out of energy.

Ahh, so glad that it is finally Saturday. I still have a remote and some voice tracking to do yet today, but all in all, it’s gonna be a nice, slow day. Seriously nice, though they’re talking 70 for the high today. Which for mid November I will take it!

All this week I’ve been so far behind at work. I took Monday off to spend some extra time in SWK, and came back to work with a stack of stuff. And a deadline of Wednesday to get our auction page up on our new website. In the end, what happened, was I worked All day Tuesday until about 2AM Wednesday morning. I slept for a couple hours at my desk and got up at 5AM to do the morning show. That 3 hour nap though did wonders (even if it wasn’t the most comfortable) because I made it through a full day Wednesday and stayed up until about 5PM before konking out again.

So I don’t want to spend every week like this. But I look back and can at least say I got a lot accomplished. Next week will actually be pretty fun. My workload won’t be as strenious and our live radio auction will be Friday, which is always a good lot of fun.

For as much as I’ve gotten done at work, I feel like I haven’t got anything done at home. I come home and grab lil’ Luke and feel like I should really give Andrea something of a break, so I try to help there. Next thing you know, it’s 10:30 and my bed time.

I did fix the grill on Andrea’s Cutlass. When we headed out to Cimarron last weekend, the wind was blowing 40mph and a g.d. tumble weed blew straight into the front of the car. Busted the driver’s side grill. I super glued it back together we’ll see if it holds. JB Weld is the stuff to use, but I was out. Although the superglued hood ornament on my Toro is still holding together 5 years later. Hehe. Geeze, didn’t realize there was so much glue keeping our cars together!
