My what a day this has been.  I ended up working damn near all day, until roughly 6:30pm, given different interruptions, about 7-8 hours all together (normally I get 4 to 4 1/2 in a given day).  At least I got to come home after a while.  It wouldn't have been an issue if it wouldn't have taken FOREVER to bind some power point presentations, with a broken binding machine no less, by myself.  Then this jerk ass completely revamped the main slideshow I was working on so it went from the 15 or so slides we already had to 27 all new and different slides.  I could have shot him.   I left work at 1, made a quick lunch, worked while I ate and continued working.  I took a brief 5 minutes break to talk to my dad about something, then back to it.  I stopped a couple more times just for a break in general, only about ten minutes at a time.  Then I had to sort of stop all together once I got done because I was sending an email to my boss, which on my dial up, and for what I was sending, took a while.  Then once it sent I called her, left a message and waited for her to call me back.  That was at about 4:45pm.  She called me back around 5:45pm and I had to try to email her one more thing, which ended up being too big so that my internet took too long.  She sent my friend over, OFHG, with the thumb drive and we just transferred the files that way.  Then my friend went home after a few minutes and a couple of cigarettes (since she can't smoke at home on account of her mother being under the impression that none of us smoke).

Then I got to start the task of fixing MY computer.  That ended up with me having to download something, which I still am downloading, which I started doing so at about 7:30pm and it's now 10:30pm.  I'm going to have to finish it tomorrow ... or maybe even Wednesday, as big as it is.  For all the time its taking, it had better do the job and get this damn PeoplePC Internet Security Pack off of my damn computer!  When it was running it was making the thing horribly slow.  I had to turn it on and off six times before I could get it to do anything initially today.  For now I've got that program all disabled so it's not giving me problems, but to be safe I still want it completely uninstalled.  Hopefully that happens tomorrow, but we shall see.  In the mean time, I can't help but feel like I have nothing going on tomorrow when I know its not true.  I have to go to a sort of seminar thing at the local area college, but its not at the office, so it won't actually feel like work.  I'm not complaining, believe me.

Without going into all the dreary details, dad has been a shit today.  He kept interrupting me, which was bothering the hell out of me.  Especially since when I came in and he mentioned he needed to talk to me I said he'd need to come back to me, instead of me coming out to him, since I had so much to do.  At first he did, then the second time he came back he made me stop what I was doing and go outside so he could tell me that he brought some chicken upstairs to thaw.  Did I really need to get interrupted for that?  Then there were other things here and there, but none worth going into about right now, or none that I have the energy to anyway.  Then to add to that, of course my FIL had to jump on the pissy wagon.  He called my husband around 9pm with a snotty tone and said "Thanks for coming over today to help."  My husband hadn't been over there at all beyond parking his truck, and then getting his truck later when we went to go get food and cigarettes.  Apparently while my husband was driving home my FIL called him and was talking to him, but standing right next to a tractor.  That, combined with the noises from my husband's truck (loud) and the wind from driving, AND my FIL's phone breaking up resulted in my husband not hearing him ask him to come help do something.  So that was my day in a nutshell, without giving all of the other boring details.

I am so looking forward to some sleep.  Since I've finished the book I was reading I'm on to all the magazines I've gotten and not started reading (I'm weird that way, I like to savor reading them so I save them until I have nothing else to read, lol).  It's so great being able to sleep with the windows cracked too, having that little bit of a cool breeze coming in, the smell of fresh air.  How could I not sleep like a baby?

    you know, i get the feeling that it's quite a power thing with your dad.  as in...that's the reason he made you come out there so he could tell you he was...what? thawing chicken?! FFS.  that's totally him trying to assert power because that makes him somehow feel more important.

    Cry - Oh yeah, slept like death.

    Trav - Yes, indeed that was a nice chat ... I haven't forgotten about the brownies either mister!

    Frag - OH yeah, with my dad its always about him having to be in control and having the upper hand.  He always wants his way, and when you point out that he's being a hypocrite on anything, oh boy does that ever blow him up.  You know what though, I just don't give a damn anymore.  You couldn't imagine the look on his face when I told him there have been times he's pissed me off enough that I contemplated pushing him down the basement stairs when he was really drunk a few times, since everybody would believe he was just drunk and fell.  He sort of shies away from me now, especially when drinking.  Gee, wonder why.  :-D

    Queenie - Dude, I so totally should have!
