Is it 5pm yet? Why is this day taking so long?! It's just now noon where I am, and I've already made 3 mistakes at work today. Now, granted, they were super small, no one but me will probably notice type mistakes, but mistakes nonetheless. Also, DH and I got in a small fight via text re plans with friends for tomorrow, so now I'm not even excited about hanging out with said friends. I just want to do this day over. Wake up, start from scratch. Or, better yet, I need this day to fly by so I can leave the mess behind me and start drinking.  Anyone want to entertain me with stories of how you are making it through your Friday and what you are looking forward to this weekend? |

I'm sorry- I've had a lot of days like that lately so I can sympathize.  What am I doing this weekend? My boys are going camping- so whatever the hell I want!  |

4 small problems sounds terrible. ; ) Ha, very true. Now that I've put this out there, though, the universe has decided to flame me: I found a rather large mistake that an employee made, which I have to swoop in and attempt to fix. I'm taking bets on what the total mistake count will be by the time I can go home in 5 hours!! |

Nothing much to look forward to this weekend. I haven't had the world's greatest week either. 3 of my pups I humanized died last night so now I am down to five. My Western blot is wonky we can't figure out what the giant blobs coming up are so I have made no real progress regarding getting an IL-34 blot protocol off the ground. I am crazy busy and lost track of time yesterday so I got chewed out for not being on time to a meeting. A meeting where I sit and stare at the wall for an hour b/c it has no relevance to me whatsoever, it's just i work in this lab therefore my butt better be in a seat.  |

I'm not sure what we are doing this weekend, other than taking down our tree (Yes, Christmas). I finally have the time to go late night knitting or a stitch in at my LNS (local needle store.)...These opportunities happened all last weekend, when we were super busy. And because I'm just getting my feet wet again in activities, I don't have anyone to call and say "hey, let's get together and be crafty for a few hours..  My Friday is going well..I've worked, made a pan of brownies and I now have banana bread in the oven. I'd share if I could... |

No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

I'm very excited about this weekend, I'm going to be a hermit, start on taxes and finish a book! On a sad note, my husband is out of town and I'm too lazy to feed myself so I'll probably subsist on cereal, fruit and cheese all weekend.

This mistake count for my office (mine plus my employees) is now up to 8. A coworker just stopped by asking who let the idiots out of their cages today. That pretty much sums up my thoughts perfectly! Whoever mentioned brownies....I could use a pan about now |

DH needs a do over day. He went out to get staples for the tack hammer to put house wrap up on the wall he's rebuilding. After he got home, he took a walk around the house to scout out firewood piles. Realized his bag has a hole in it, and the staples had fallen out somewhere in our 2 acres. Found them at the furthest point from the house. Then learned they wouldn't fit the tack hammer, or my staple gun, or his grandfather's staple gun. Went out to bolt the wall securely to the perpendicular wall, and managed to go thru the bathroom medicine cabinet, AND the electric wire connecting the wall lamps, shorting the circuit. I happened to be in the bathtub at the time, and the room has no window for daylight.  . So he spent the afternoon taking things apart to restore at least one light to the bathroom. He got to use his reciprocating saw to remove the tip of the big bolt, since I didn't want it poking thru the inside of the medicine cabinet.  Today he returned the staples to get the correct size, and get wire nuts for connecting the second light. Of course the box for the light in question is buried behind some funky wallboard over crumbling plaster, and the wires refuse to fish nicely. Repairs never go easily in an old house, there's always complications. Update: DH managed to cut his thumb with the razor knife while stripping wire. Intermission while we got it cleaned up and to stop bleeding. Much cursing while wires refused to stay connected in wire nuts AND fit behind the fixtures. But we have light! |
