Dear Monday: You suck!

Sooo I had a pretty bad Monday today. The worst kind of Monday in fact... filled with stress. I'm going to just give a play by play of my Monday morning.

Wake up to waaaay more snow than I was ready to deal with. I mean it was only 5 or 6 inches but I was expecting like 2 at most, nothing I would have to bust out the snowblower for.

After shoveling 2 tracks to get out of the driveway I get to work a half an hour late.

Only to realize that my coworker is sick for the day and there are 4 - count them 4 high priority incident tickets for two warehouses that are down - requiring me to give my whole morning to getting them going again. Phone calls all morning between the vendor and the warehouses.

After around 11:30 -when they are finally both up and running I get the heads up that someone asked me to give a 45 minute presentation at a conference in Chicago.... Which is a pretty cool opportunity I've got to admit. The kicker is that it is to days away on WEDNESDAY!!! Apparently another vendor backed out they thought I would be a good candidate to speak on one of the newer technologies I had developed for my company. Kind of flattering but still a stress sandwich....

Finally I had a volleyball game which I was looking forward to help releive some pent up energy. We lost handily....

I get home and accept that I will finally have to get the snowblower out and finish my driveway for the next half an hour.

I go inside to find my wonderful pooch decided to chew up my favorite hat along with some other things laying around the house.

Then I go out to the front porch to get the mail in my shorts, socks and volleyball pads, my dog jumps on the open door, shutting it and locking me out of the front door. This requires me to run around my house in my barefeet in about 6 inches of snow that I have neglected to clean off my driveway and sidewalk.... sweet.

Pretty crappy day but hopefully the evening will make up for it!
