Wake Me Up When September Begins

Well, less then week to go in the busy stretch of work. I've got 3 days left on a 7 day stretch of work. That isn't even thinking about all the invoicing and credit memo paperwork that I have to catch up on. Me, all alone. Could almost cry at the thought of it. But I've been so busy that I haven't had a chance to think about the one thing that would really make me cry, my brother has reported for active duty. I've been to busy to watch the news, and it's a good thing. The news now makes me cry.

Is It Over Yet?

Retail has its ups and downs. Right now, I can't tell the difference. The next three weeks will be sheer insanity at work. Last night was the first time, since I started this job in February, that this job kept me from getting a good night's sleep.

Paperwork, and I mean small mountains of it, have started to form on my desk. It's going to get a lot worse before it gets a lot better. My mom is probably cringing at the thought, as she knows how disorganized I can get. I'm actually going in to work Saturday, even though I am unscheduled. I think I'm going to have to surrender my illusions of getting caught up and will have to settle for not falling further behind. While I don't have to do much physical work, the paperwork has increased exponentially.

I'm too exhausted to cook when I get home. I was all excited at the thought of going to bed early this evening when the b/f shows me the notice that we received about exterminators spraying all the apartments tomorrow. Instant paranoia that the property management will see what a slob I am hit me. I've been cleaning ever since and am now reasonable satisfied with the appearance of the apartment. Plus, I won't have nearly as much to do during my abbreviated weekend.

It should also please my mom that I am actually doing housework. It pleases me that I found time to post more than a five sentence blurb.
