Waking up...

I was jolted awake this morning at 5:30 am by an obnoxious radio advertisement that was WAY too loud, which I thought was rather rude after sleeping in for 4 straight days. I got in the shower, put on my war paint, did my hair, fed the horses and the dogs, got my lunch and off to work I went.

About 8:00 am, I got a call from a gal at work. We call her "Mother". She is a sweet as can be and tries really hard, but she's dumber than a bucket of rock and is grossly incompetent, and has this lovely habit of "babysitting" the rest of the secretarial staff. She calls endless with stupid little reminders regarding MY job, which I am very capable of doing on my own, thank you very much.

I have adult ADHD that is unmedicated and for all intents and purposes, I'm a raging airhead. I having an exquisite memories, but it's selective. Random trivial information? Ingrained forever! When to schedule my own dental appointment? Umm...when was the last time I went? Are you SURE???

I am ultra-organized at work. I HAVE to be! Cuz I'm such a stinking airhead! So, when Mother calls, first of all it interrupts my train of thought, and second, it annoys me! "Did you do your payroll?" (umm...they are all adults. They can do their OWN time cards!) "You have a letter that's complete." (I am vividly aware of that fact because I got an automated e-mail message!)

Anyway, that started early this morning and continued pretty much all of the morning. Then the girls in the mail room messed something up. So, I got madder and madder and crankier and crankier, and before I knew it, I was e-mailing my friend Candice and venting &*^&*&% words!!!

So tonight, I sat and thought about what REALLY set me off. Aside from being startled awake, having to go back to work when I wanted to stay home, having Mother annoy me, and the mess up in the mailroom, I can't seem to come up with anything.

You've heard the term "Woke up on the wrong side of the bed"? I guess I did this morning. No real reason why! Nothing especially traumatic happened. I've just been grumpy! Even Squirrel got snapped at tonight at feeding time. You should have seen her face - surprised that momma "barked" at her.

So I'll leave you with that. I'm grumpy today. Tomorrow will be a better day.

OMGosh Karen - I can so relate to that when I worked in the office!!(former Admin Asst.)

I think it starts with "I don't want to get up but know I have to - but really don't want to!!!!!"

Glad to hear that you had someone to vent to - that always helps.

Hope you have better days ahead.
