Work remains frustrating. Today was just an extremely long day. It wasn't a bad one per se: nothing bad or wrong happened, no one yelled at me, I didn't have any unfixable problems. It was just... too much. I always make myself a to-do list for work (even for the tasks I've done daily for nearly six years), and today's was more than twice as long as they usually are because of all the extra shit I needed to get done.
The new classroom policies mean that if we have classes on back-to-back days (like this weekend, for example) I HAVE to stay late. The class lets out at 4:45, but the instructor needs to sign the attendance logs, I have to collect those logs, I have to pull and organize the logs for the next day for returning students or ones joining the class, plus file the logs for the students who aren't returning... And all of that is not going to happen by 5:00 for me to leave on time. (But as I bitched before, it's not like I can come in late, because I need to be there before the students arrive at 9:00.)
I also wouldn't have minded staying to get that stuff sorted if the entire day hadn't been full of too much to do and too many calls to make. By the time I was having to sort it all out, I was just so done with the day.
(And the instructor lost a log and I don't know how! It was in the pile, specifically noted because it was an uncommon name that we had two of in class, and it just vanished between my pulling it and him passing them out! What the hell!)
The VP of the company (who was, once upon a time, my direct supervisor) had to get involved in an IT ticket that as of today has gone a week without resolution, despite the fact I'd marked it as critical. (The issue where my permissions for one of my tasks was apparently removed.) She just sent a followup along the lines of "hey, get this fixed by Wednesday" to them, but hopefully it holds more weight than my periodic (ignored) requests for an update.
At least this is theoretically the last week I have to do the voicemail project. It's supposed to get pawned off on a new "team" for October.
I am so intensely looking forward to having a long weekend in October. It's to go to an out-of-state model show for Alex, but it'll be a mini road trip, and it'll be five days away from work!

Wrote 400ish words last night, which felt like more of an accomplishment than it usually would. Though I wound up stopping mid-sentence because I was just... BSODing. I'd *really* wanted to have that fic done and posted by today, but it's just not happening. I don't know that I'll even poke at it today, but I'll see if I get a second wind. Or a first wind - I haven't had the energy to do anything else either, lol.
It also might be a "do nothing that needs thinking" night. Too many of those lately, but my executive function and ability to plan anything has been beyond eaten up by my workday.
