working before a break

[cardsfansince82]

I'm getting time and a half today so I kind of feel obligated to stay busy. Helps the day go by faster anyway.

I actually made the mistake of trying to do work and it ended with me getting ready to take my laptop up to the roof, lighting it on fire and throwing it into the parking lot. For some reason Access has decided that I can make changes to the design of every form except the three that I need to make very simple cosmetic updates to.

Then I went to Google Maps to show a co-worker where the place is that we are going after work to watch the Blues game (and drink too much) and when I searched for Cotter's on Kingshighway instead of going local it decided that we were going drinking in Compton, CA.

Computers are normally my friend but not today. I knew I messed up yesterday afternoon when my boss asked if I was working today and I blurted out 'yes' without even thinking. Considering the fact that I haven't taken a day off since August and am going to end up with vacation time unused because I've been trying to keep up with two jobs since September (we are still trying to fill the other one), I really blew it by not taking that chance to not be here today. I thought I could use a slow day to get caught up without interruptions but that hasn't happened because I can't save my changes to those forms and nobody else is even here to get what I need for some other stuff.

Bottom line, I'm an idiot.

This is pretty much why I started taking those days off. Nobody else I work with is around, so it's not like you get anything done.

Isn't that kind of a reason to go to work though? You know you'll just [expletive] around all day, so it's kind of a day off anyway.

If I was stressing over vacation days, I'd absolutely do that. But my employer gives us an absurd amount of vacation (not a complaint) so I burn 'em when I can.

and now I'm working on Thanksgiving. Figured since I was sick and it was going to suck I might as well get paid for the day.

Happy Thanksgiving and have fun.
