Feeling blah

I am so irritated today. I have been covering for someone at work for the past two weeks. And I use the word covering loosely as what I really did was completely catch them up on what they should have been doing all along on top of the mountain of work I had on my study. When I came into work this morning there was a sense of relief knowing that all I had to focus on were my 3 studies and no one else's. I wrote this person an email this morning listing all of the things I did while they were out. An hour or so after I sent it, my manager emailed me saying the person was in a car accident while on vacation and she isn't sure when he is coming back, didn't anybody tell me? No, no one told me!! What the hell is wrong with my department that people don't relay that sort of information? Especially when they have known for a week! It's not that I mind doing the work; I would just like to know that it needs to be done.

At least I had a great weekend to look back on reflect on during my frustration. Saturday, Steve and I met Steph and Jarrod at Firebowl for lunch. We always have such a good time together; Steve and Jarrod are so a like in their randomness that you never know where the conversation is going to go. Sunday was Carrie's birthday. We met up at Seattle's Best, our favorite coffee, and got pedicures. It was so nice spending time together; I hadn't seen her since the Paperwork show in November! Other than that, Steve and I cleaned all weekend. It is so nice to have the house back to normal and un-Christmasy.

This week - Weight Watchers! Steph and I are going to our first meeting tomorrow!
