Work is just... utterly consumed with drama. I'm two days away from not having to care about that at all for just over a week, and I am SO very ready.
[They've allowed one shitty employee to run off two much better ones, and I think it is a DRASTIC mistake on their part.
My manager keeps having the sale of his house fall through, so he keeps extending how long he'll be here, but is also completely checked out. Crossing my fingers that my newest coworker gets my manager's job, because I think she'll be good at it.
I messed up a piece of paperwork last week, and had to sign a thing acknowledging that I fucked up. :( ]
Prior to today I haven't had any of that pre-vacation check-out feeling, but now I sure as hell do, ha. Oh well: two more days to struggle through.
Not completely sure what the plan for said vacation is going to actually BE. Maybe some more day trips to state parks. Not a LOT of funds available, certainly not for a real road trip or even overnights anywhere, but hopefully we'll be able to find some fun things to do that are also cheap, ha.
I've been making reasonably steady progress trying to get my old fics uploaded in new places (where no one will ever see them, BUT it makes me feel better to have them backed up.) I am NOT making progress - reasonable, steady, or otherwise - on WRITING anything. I've got nothing halfway through the month, yet the posting project has genuinely eaten up most of my time. For once it's not timesink social media scrolling... I just have no time!
I HOPE that I'll have a chance to play a little bit of catch up while on vacation from work. Though if we DO go out and do lots of things, that leaves pretty minimal time as well. We'll see!
For now, I am extremely tired. Was up at 3:15 because Cy wasn't feeling well. He seemed to feel better after his emergency was addressed, but I didn't sleep well after that. (Again, glad I'm a light sleeper so I can address those sorts of things... and I hate being a light sleeper, because I address the problems and don't sleep.)

Work sounds like a hot mess. I hope somehow it magically finds a way to calm down a bit.

It sounds like there *may* be a big pile of something hitting the fan at work during the week I'm gone, and I'm not sad I won't be around for it. (Though I'll still be getting whatever the fallout is when I get back. Hopefully it isn't just a smoking crater, lol.)
The Plight of Light Sleepers
For 4 hours.

Re: The Plight of Light Sleepers
I will admit, there have been times when I hear Oscar get and move around and whine and I think "Nope - gonna stay in bed. Gonna sleep - OHSHITWASTHATHIMPEEING?!" only to find he had just moved a plastic bag.
My resolution always melts the moment I think I hear the flood gates open.
Re: The Plight of Light Sleepers
Lmao, that is me almost every time - "Look, I'm just going to ignore it this time. I'll deal with it in the morning if I have to. I just want to go back to sleep. WAITFUCKDON'TEXPLODEONTHERUG."
Usually Cy doesn't have too many false alarms - if he gets to the pacing and whining and waking me up point, he probably does need to go, but every once in a while... it's just the desire to pace around the grass and maybe finally pee a little.

I hope you find lots of fun stuff to do on vacation.

And thank you! I'm looking forward to it!
