ION - My week has not been great. It all started Friday night at work when my mother called to tell me that she needed to go to the emergency room. She'd had a fever and a bad cough for a few days, and when she went to go to bed that night, she couldn't get to sleep and started feeling a tightening in her chest which was making it difficult for her to breath. She hasn't had the best health for the last couple of years, so my first thought was 'heart attack'. Scared me so bad, I almost wrecked my car three times on the way home. Turns out she'd strained a muscle (or something like that) with all the coughing.
Was off over the weekend, but it went by much much too fast due to having too much to do and not enough time to do it.
Monday, had a doctor's appointment with my general doctor that I'd completely forgotten about until about 20 minutes before I was supposed to be there. Had to call and let them know I was going to be late for work, again. My diet pills have started wearing off about halfway through the day. I thought my body was building up a resistance, and that still may be the case, but she just said to start taking 2 pills a day instead of one - one in the early morning, and another in the early evening.
Dental appointment was today. It was supposed to be the final appointment, but it turns out that the root canal I had two weeks ago this wednesday was completely unnecessary as the tooth can't be saved after all. When she removed the temporary filling and was filing around the edges to get it ready for the permanent filling and the crown, the tooth started crumbling. Great news for her, not so much for me. $945 later, my tooth is gone, and I have a temporary replacement tooth in now. In two weeks, I go back to get my permanent replacement. Oh yeah, because of all the extra work on my tooth, I wound up being late for work - AGAIN. I'm going to wind up getting fired, I know it. Luckily, I was smart enough to get notes from both doctors to turn in to the manager.
It's now almost 3:00 in the morning and I can't sleep because all the numbing agents they used in my mouth today are wearing off - AT THE SAME TIME - and it's an excruciating little pain party in there. Alcohol would be heaven, but can't have any because of meds I'm taking. Someone, somewhere, hates me with a passion that I can't even begin to imagine.
Oh yeah, we started scanning for voids tonight. Got almost the entire fiction section scanned (for those that don't know, the fiction section is the largest section in our store. We're talking hours of scanning). About 10pm tonight, we found out that we were scanning under the wrong program. Instead of Feb. Voids, we should have been scanning the March overstock. Too late to go back and start over, and we can't put the books back into the system. So we're screwed and behind schedule now. Greatness.
So, how's your week been thus far?
