Long Week

It was only two weeks ago that I faced 2 13-hour days in a week...so how come I find myself facing 3 13-hour days this week? Yeah, I have no idea either.

After another relaxing weekend, I can't say that I'm all that excited about returning to work this upcoming week. But can you really blame me? Again, I say that I am compensated for working overtime...but you know what? Sometimes it's really just not worth it. I swear, my mental well-being is at stake this week. These past few weeks have been busy, but I've been amazingly calm (for the most part) and happy. I like being happy. But with a busy week approaching, I'm not sure I'm going to be in the best of moods. Don't say that I didn't warn you.

Speaking of the best of my moods, let me get on my soapbox for just a second. Why do people insist on coming into work when they are sick? I've been on this tirade for the past week now and it still frustrates me. There are people at the office who insist on coming into work when they are sick. This baffles me...well no, it infuriates me. I work for an agency that actually provides time strictly for sick leave...which, should in theory, encourage people to take leave when they are sick as opposed to lowering the productivity of the entire agency by infecting the rest of the staff. Arg. With that said, I have my own selfish reason, I don't want to get sick. Is that such a hard concept to grasp? Why does that make me the bad guy? You know what, don't answer that...because I don't care. Why should I have to be ok with being around people who are sick...? Trust me, I'm not.

Where was I? Oh yeah...this coming week. I am already looking forward to the upcoming weekend. Let's get this week over with.
