I was in work since yesterday and I was required to stay over night. There's a room and bed for me to stay. It was late when I finished last night at about 1 and then I had to be up again for 7.

I was working all morning since 7. There I was doing all of the physical tasks that needs to be done, and the office was ringing me to get me to do some paper work and send that in by midday all the while while I had work to do and at the same time I had a colleague who was getting me to do more work with her. Then I got another call from the office to say that i need to update a course.

All before I even have a cup of coffee to throw down into my throat.

It feels as if I need to pay rent money just to get a break.

I fluffed an interview for a job I really wanted today. Sat here feeling sorry for myself now. Hope your day gets better OP.

At work with a banging migraine

Only 5 hours to go 😭 but then have to do the supermarket shop after work 😩

Yes. Just heard that a company we are dealing with has gone bust. They have a lot of my money which I probably won't see again and has left a big hole in some important (life changing) future plans.

I feel sorry for the people employed there but furious at the lying sales guy/owner who's been stringing us along for months. Bastard.

It's the second time we've been done over by an unscrupulous company. Fuckers.

I feel marginally better for that rant.

I hope everyone's day gets better.

Everything was expected out of me this morning

  • mind the people
  • clean the kitchen
  • prepare meals
  • work on laundry loads
  • get onto the office with paper work
  • mind more people
  • help others
  • do more laundry

Run across wet floors because there's no time to slow down across a wet floor

Do more laundry and keep on going.

I probably won't be finished until 8 or 9 tonight.

I hear you @catwomando - this morning I am trying to negotiate with builders who have run off with 8 grand of my money. Bloody scumbag bastards.

Yodaisawally · 13/06/2022 12:50

Do you work in care op? What are your hours meant to be? Why are you doing so much?

MakkaPakkas · 13/06/2022 12:52

I thought I was having a shit day til I read these. Thank you for the perspective!!!

(I'm the subject of a tedious academic debate being ruled by a shouty HOD and am likely to loose control of some aspects of my work)

catwomando · 13/06/2022 12:53

@AmandaHoldensLips (fab username)
They really are bastards.

They just lie to your face, promise everything and then steal your hard earned.

It's the lowest of the low in my book.

I hope you hung him down , pull his fingernails off and get your cash back. Smile

I'll join you in the pity party.

I got dumped yesterday, got rejected from a job I was pinning my hopes on this morning, and I've got my first session with a new therapist this evening. I'm severely depressed following an awful few months and the death of my father, and needless to say events in theast 24 hours have not helped!

I'm working from home today but honestly I've spent most of the morning sobbing and doing fuck all.

Here's hoping all our weeks improve!

catscatscurrantscurrants · 13/06/2022 13:00

Yes. It's a crap day. Running just to stand still at the moment. I need to eat buns.

SpottyStripyDuvet · 13/06/2022 13:12

Sorry to all having a rough time.

DS has chicken pox so I am somewhat tired. I had a particularly unpleasant dental appointment this morning and it seems that the permanent solution to my issue is some weeks away. Now back to tag teaming with DH throughout the rest of the work day before trying to catch up with work this evening (if DS can manage some sleep.)

DrEllie · 13/06/2022 13:19

You have put my crap Monday morning into perspective- white van man road rage (called me all the fs and cs and threatened me). Then in a difficult meeting with some, ahem, characters

Badger1970 · 13/06/2022 13:27

DH had cardiac surgery on Friday and was in hospital until yesterday. I've not had a second to myself since 8am Friday, and am now covering our business for the next two weeks while he recovers. And it's been a horrid manic morning with 3 days of catching up to do.

I feel sick I'm so tired, and am rapidly running out of patience/sympathy with his "oh but I had paracetamol 12 hours ago, do I need more" when he's grimacing with pain Hmm it's going to be a looooooong 2 weeks. And breathe............

None of my kitchen plugs are working! Waiting on an electrician. WFH but given a load of tricky stuff to do this morning, when my mind really isn't on it. Also had to have the boiler safety check done, while trying to work and sort the electrician. Now I just want to go back to bed!

But Flowers for the rest of you, as some of your days are far worse than mine!
