Ugh, I hate just bitching about work for days in a row, but UGH today was A Day.

Fortunately, nothing truly *bad*, just A LOT. Someday (spoilers: that day is today), I will be very tired of being the person that everyone turns to for answers to weird/complicated/problem situations, lol.
I think this is the highest number of calls I've gotten to my cell phone in a day, possibly ever. Plus just a ridiculous number of direct calls to my work phone, as people from other centers had questions and problems and weird situations. A off-site event had SO MANY problems, that somehow all kept coming to me (even though the event wasn't tied to "my" center.) Why do the higher-ups even list themselves as the on-call weekend manager when they just punt to me, lol.

And the person who usually takes the extra stuff like that on Sunday is gone this weekend, so I have to be ready to do it all again tomorrow. Sobcry.

I didn't even finish half of my coffee from this morning, and I think I only stood up from my desk once all day. (Not great!)

Tonight is definitely going to be an early night.

(Last night I was woken up by both the toad eeping and the dog having a very intense barking dream.)

No worries whatsoever, though damn I'm sorry things have been continuing to be a total pain in the arse from the sound of it. It's the sum of small things that add up over time or the proverbial "death by a thousand cuts" of work nonsense that grates the most on anyone's nerves so rant away as needed to purge the bs.

Definitely call it an early night and take care of yourself. <3

It is absolutely the death by a thousand cuts. I'm glad there weren't truly any major disasters - no one screaming at me, no one hurt, no one threatening harm - but all the little things just pile up!

I hope today is/was better. :/ That sounds incredibly exhausting.

Today was a bit better. It was definitely slower, which helped! And so very glad this was my "Friday."

Lots of hugs flung your way. That sounds horrible.

Are there any possibilities of tossing your line out for other jobs in the area that might not be that bad?

Thank you, I can use the hugs.

I should be a bit more proactive in looking for something. One of the things that sucks is the need to keep my benefits (health/dental), while also both not wanting to take a pay cut, but also not being able to look for anything that pays much *more*. If I make much more than I do, we'll be over income for our apartment, and unless I find something that pays almost twice what I make now, we can't afford market rate. It sucks because I feel trapped. :/ BUT. I really should actually look anyway, because there could be something that fits what I'm looking for.
