thebratqueenSo thems who are fortunate enough to be in my immediate ranting circle are aware that I have been dying for a day off from work (esp since I missed out on VividCon due to trip to LA which turned out not to happen, because I love my Elder Brother dearly but my God can he be a douche at times, so basically I missed out on the trip I wanted to go on for over a year and on the trip that was going to make up for it and, for the record, NOT that I am BITTER) (ahem).
Anyway, dying for at least a day off of work, which I wanted to take this Monday except my boss, in his infinite wisdom, dumped a task on me that was both Herculean and stupid (laymen's terms: picture my boss telling me to swim to England, and not understanding when I explain that taking a plane to England is actually much better and what he really wants me to do) and basically made it so that I could take a day off, but only if I got this thing done first.
Thus leaving me feeling like Cinderella, with the promise of being able to go to the ball, but only if she got all the seeds out of the ashes.
Still, I was determined. So today I sat down, hauled ass, and even put in extra hours and, for the most part, I got the stupid thing done. Thus freeing me up to get my normal job duties done tomorrow (did I mention how stupid task was not only stupid but interfered with me doing work that actually needs to be done a) at all but b) in a timely manner?) and, if I can do all that, I can take Monday off. WOOOOO!!!
This is good, as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
