So...today kinda sucked.
I left to go to work, like usual. I was on time, no big deal. I got on the highway....and barely got out of town before traffic came to a near stop. They were doing construction further on down the way. Which they neglected to advertise ahead of time. Traffic wasn't quite backed up to town, so I couldn't see it before I got on the highway. So, by the time I saw it, I was stuck.
Even then, I thought, okay. It'll be slow for a bit, then things will get moving. Oh, if only. I swear...I drove the entire distance between my town and the town I work in doing no more than 5 mph. And often, at a complete standstill. Thus, a drive that normally takes no more than 10-15 minutes ended up taking an hour. Yeah.
So, obviously, I figured out pretty early on that I'd be late for work. So, when we were stopped, I reached back and started rifling through my purse for my phone. I was going to text one of my coworkers and let them know. I finally found the pocket that I keep my phone in...and it was empty. Yeah. I went off and forgot my freaking phone on the charger. And of all the days for that to happen, it had to pick today. The one day that I actually needed the damn thing. =/
I ended up being 45 minutes late. I'm not sure if my coworkers were mad, or worried, or both. Yuck. Of course I felt bad about it, but still...it really wasn't my fault. I apologized like crazy, but I really couldn't have done anything about it. And since I'm paid by the hour, I had to stay an extra 45 minutes at the end of my shift to make up the time. Ugh.
Oh, and to top it all off? This is only Wednesday. And this is a long week, since Thanksgiving is next Thursday. So that means I'll be working on Saturday. And my schedule will be loopy until the end of next week. Sigh. I'm already feeling worn out, and the week's not even quite half over yet. =P
Geez, this post started out pissed and ended up whiny. That's a little odd. XD
