What a horrible day this has been and it's only 1:30 in the afternoon. Gee, I can't wait to see what the rest of the day holds in store for me

Sorry you're having such bad luck. I hope you figure out how to work it out. you could be like me and go the Belize (or other warm climate) for winter vacation. It's best there in the winter, so I'll be there the first two weeks of january with much time devoted to snorkeling and hanging out on the beach :)
Oh I so wish I could do something like that for vacation! That would be great, unfortunately I don't have the money to go anywhere other than beaches that I can get to within a 4 - 6 hour drive from here. I would either have gone to Maine or Connecticut this summer and probably only for a couple of days. Ahh well, maybe if I save up my money possibly I could afford to go on a real vacation next year. Actually, I have never been on a REAL vacation that involved flying somewhere.
Yikes, how terrible for you (and of course Shirley). You have to go on Friday - college is important and you are putting the hours in the rest of the week so there should be no question. Stamp your foot!
I don't think you should bash your skull by the way.
Oh I just realized I didn't even mention that the college thing is for my sister, not me! She will be going to college in Fall of 2005 so she is looking at the schools now because she wants to apply early, this Fall. The school is about 2 hours south of where I live, and just a little bit north of NYC actually. I was so flustered earlier I didn't even explain that, but even though it's not for ME, you are right, it's an important thing to do for my sister at least.
Oh my poor sarah sorry I didn’t write sooner. I was in migraine/dark room entertainment heaven and hell. Odd day. Anywhoo, you take your Friday off, how were you to know? And as for your vaca, you’re entitled to it and it’s their problem filling in for you. Shocker, me filling in for Barb is similar, b/c I’m the only other one who can do her job, which is why I had to stay here today…even if it meant just bumming around most of the day. Thank goodness her workload was light today. A half hour or so to go…then me sleep. But as for you, hang in and do your Friday off, your schooling is important and you’re going to kick butt this fall.
I just talked to my boss & told him I WON'T be here on Friday. He didn't seem all too happy but he actually wasn't a jerk about it either. He just wants me to try to train another coworker as best I can before Friday, which will be next to impossible because I can't cram weeks/months worth of training into two days but I will do what I can.
Doesn't it suck just being expected to fill in for someone else. Especially when no one asks you to do it or thanks you - it's just like "here - do this" That makes me angry. Ah well.
