So today begins with me having no voice, sounding a bit like a frog and having my sinuses drain down my throat with a vengeance...
I get to work to discover that I'm alone on the schedule, with the assumption that either my supervisor or another staff member will help me out. This works, and I was lucky enough to have someone who understands the job and has already had a morning herself (think skeleton in her chair...decked out in beaded necklaces).
I go and do my Books and Babies program, barely able to talk, but have some great parents who led the songs for me. I head back to my desk once I am done so that I don't leave anyone alone too long and have to clean up the mess afterwards...
Evidently, I had a red face (think cannot breathe well and taking meds that don't like me) and coughed into my arm (not hand), and had to be sick.
No, firstly, no one, me especially, would send me out to a room full of babies sick. It's allergies. Luckily the director was with me and reassured me that nothing was wrong. (Yours truly cried...)
Then I head out for home, forget the 2 new books that are on the hold shelf for me, and went to get ice cream. 10 minute wait later I finally get my ice cream and I go and pay my house payment. Another ten minutes, after I was told my receipt will be right out, I get the impatient "Yes?"
"Just waiting for my receipt." I reply, trying not to sound irritated, not only with the wait but her rude tone.
Receipt came a few moments later with an apology from the other clerk. She forgot to send it and moved on to the next customer.
Seriously? I really don't think I want to go out of the house again tonight. Unfortunately, I have to take Dizzy to practice, run another errand and go to Brownies (still no voice). Then I need to pick up all 3 kids, as the Boss has a meeting tonight himself before I can come home and go to bed.
Here's to great coworkers who gave me the shoulder to cry on (or cried with me) and the promise of a better tomorrow!
Oh, and there are still a million flies in my house! Yuck, kitties better get busy! (note: at time of publication, Mickey is asleep on the couch and Bitsey is nowhere to be found...)
Be Happy! Be Healthy! Be sure to use common sense!
