I am in a truly Foul mood tonight.
x(

This has been a totally shitty day, filled with screaming vice presidents and piles of work that shouldn't be my responsibility.

I'm finally home from work, and I wish I could take the day off tomorrow just out of spite. But I know damned well that first thing tomorrow morning it starts all over again and I have to be there.
:grr:

I know, as a consultant, that one of our official duties is to take the blame when executives fuck up. That doesn't mean I like it.
:nuke:

4. Part of the reason I'm in a foul mood
is that I think today was just a warning. Tomorrow will really be hell. :(

But I will do my best to hang on. I have to keep telling myself that I will not quit and walk (roll) out.

I think my boss would have a heart attack if I quit and left him with the shit I'm handling.

2. Sorry about your day....
I've always felt that the best part of a bad day is that the next day can only be better. I hope that's true in your case!

7. Sorry, hun.
If it's any consolation, I've had a shitty few days as well.

Sorry for everything that's happening. Hope it gets better.

:hug:

8. I'm sorry.
:(

The one consolation I allow myself on shitty days is that other people are hopefully having better days. :P

I hate to hear that life sucks all around.

9. Spring will be here soon!
So when you come home from a cruddy day, it will still be light out and not so bleak!

10. That would be awesome.
And once I start refusing to work late that's probably true. :)

12. Absolutely!
:)

I just did a search for a smiley drinking wine. Nothing. Not through Google, Altavista, or Photobucket. Wow.

I thought there were smileys for everything.

15. Hey, here's a hug and remember what I said to you before.....
Edited on Tue Mar-04-08 11:32 PM by TK421
I would love to see you come down here for a day and see a show, and we can go out for drinks on me.... sorry about the bad day, my friend....I've certainly had my share of them :hug:

edited to add: I'll even buy you a Philly Cheesesteak from wherever you want ( Pats, Jims, Genos, Greens ) doesn't matter....but when was the last time you had a cheesesteak? It will certainly put a smile on your face!!

17. Except for the cheesesteak
that sounds absolutely awesome. I'm a long-time vegan, and I'm alergic to dairy, so a cheesesteak would be right out. :rofl:

I need to pick a weekend and just decide I'm traveling to Philly. :)

19. Although the cheesesteak comment breaks my heart, I 'm glad you're considering
coming down! I can eat vegan ( I think ) let me know what your plans are and I will try to schedule around them. Look forward to seeing you, in person!! We have much to talk about, I suspect

20. As a co-worker once said to me, your reward for doing great work today
was to come back in tomorrow and do it again.

29. I absolutely love that photo.
:loveya:

And you're totally wonderful for posting it to cheer me up. :hug:

It rained yesterday, and it rained all night, and it's raining today. So I'm in more than normal pain. I suppose that's not helping my mood. Maybe tommorow will be better. :(

It's amazing the amount of crapola that gets heaped on consultants.

Hope you're doing better tomorrow.

32. Hi Simply Fugue.
:hi:

There's no hope for today. From pain levels and early e-mails I already know today is going to be harsh. But there is always tomorrow. :P

Please just wish me endurance today. Today I just need to hold on and swim through shit.
