Monday in the life of a man with AADD

Yep that’s what I said,  AADD!

Its amazing how much I put up with and have thrust on me in a single day! Yes I know my position dictates that I handle everything with a smile and an OK I will get that done, but at the end of some days I’m a wreck! Hell its 10pm I’m back at the office again! I left around 730, rushed Heathers glasses that she left in my car a few days ago back to her house in Chesapeake, went home ate some food that wasn’t good for me (managing to forget that I needed to start a load of laundry) and then rushed back to the office to finish up stuff I didn’t finish before I left. Mondays wouldn’t be that bad if I could JUST REMEMBER SHIT!  Today was a compete information overload and had me going so many directions it was crazy.  Hell my office door was like a damn revolving door, before one person left another person was coming in with another crisis! (before any strange comments or stares tomorrow in the office YES I LOVE MY JOB and wouldn’t really change a thing!)

So I managed to leave without moving a few reps desks around due to a new hire, which in and on itself is not that big of a deal and I could have done this in the AM.  But I also managed to leave both my flash drives in the office so I didn’t have my staffs schedule information that I needed to work on tonight. Now I don’t blame anyone for me being behind and having to come back into the office except myself and possibly the spaghetti monster, but that’s a conversation for another time. Sometimes I just need to VENT and doing it in writing helps, but OpenOffice’s spelling and grammar checker totally hates my rants! Letting it out to random strangers is very much a stress reliever for me. I’m normally a very closed and reserved person, but by the end of most Monday’s and on my blog and twitter I will talk, ramble or rant about anything and everything.

On another note:

As if ‘forgetting’ to do these little things at work is not enough, I managed to blow a HUGE  ‘I’m actually a good father’ moment in my sons life today. As my twitters said he was going to sign up for tee-ball this afternoon after school (private school in FL) and I told his mom I would put it on my phone with a reminder so I COULD NOT FORGET to call him on my way home so I could congratulate him on signing up and that I was proud of him. Yea stupid me set it for TOMORROW at 7pm my time. Not today like a jack ass!  So on my way back to the office it hits me and I grab my phone and yep its 915pm meaning its 815 his time so he’s already in bed! Missed opportunity to be a thoughtful father figure from a 1000 miles away. Better luck tomorrow right? Well at least the reminder is set!

End rant…back to work =-)
