Burn Out

So I worked 12 hours yesterday.  One of the girls yesterday thought something was wrong with her machine because a spreadsheet that she worked on for hours didn't save.  She begged me to "find something wrong".  It sounds more like she forgot to hit save.  Why that needed to involve me, I don't know.  Any how I did find something her AV client was all messed up.  I tried for hours on end to fix it many different ways but turns out I need a tool from the Manufacturer.  So I had to call it quits.  That took up my entire evening so I got NOTHING accomplished.  I went through the motions of getting the trash out, taking care of the cats and making my lunch.  I even managed to get started on laundry.  I was a total mess flying through the house like a leaf blowing around.  I hate "rush mode" it always makes me crazy.

I longed for bed and finally got there.  Got a few hours of sleep, had a nightmare and was up for a while trying to go back to sleep.  Woke up just before the alarm went off and hauled out of bed. 

I prayed for a good day, since yesterday was so bad.  Turns out things could be worse but I didn't get my wish.  I've already had to interact with my boss about 3 times today.  He needs a new computer, which I am working on for him.  His old machine is whack!  He constantly is having problems if it isn't opening attachments, it's opening shared documents.

Last night he sprang my next travel plans on me.  More WIFI this time in the country.  That should be fun.  If he had his way I would be going next week.  However, he wants this done really soon.  So I am thinking like the middle to the end of January.  I have to get product shipped and with the holidays that will probably throw a slight delay in the mix. 

I am so stressed out.  I need that vacation really, really bad.  Building a new machine for the boss, I am worried that something will go wrong or that I will miss something.  Lord knows if I do, I will hear about it. 

My pc at home is all locked up so I have to post this from work, which I am not crazy about.  I want to be able to enjoy tonight and try to relax a little bit.  3 more days and then I'm done for a whole week.  Shame I didn't ask for 2 weeks.  :)

Computers right now don't seem to be my friend.  It's like Murphy is following me messing things up on purpose to create work for me.  I don't need that I've got plenty to do on my own.

So that is about as much fun as I am having here now. Back to it so that I can get closer to getting done.  I will talk with you peeps later.

Damn computer problems! I guess that's what you were hired for but wow sounds like it's all at once.
