three rolls of 120 at the lab up the street from my apartment and the lady behind the counter already recognizes me. sweet.
the day after i got back from the island, i received a message from work giving me a “head’s up” that the woman who was supposed to be filling in for me hadn’t and wouldn’t be in due to a death in the family. while i could have totally let that ruin the last four days of my vacation by worrying about what kind of mess would be left for me when i returned, i decided to put it out of my head and just enjoy what was left of my freedom.
so, last week, on top of having to catch up on work, my boss decided i should have the other in-house temp come down for the week and a day to train and help with any backlogs. hence, last week was even more intense than the first week after vacation would normally be. luckily for me, this temp is so much more on the ball than the last one they tried to send me. by the end of last week i had complete confidence in her ability to cover for me in my absence. yesterday turned out fantastic. i gave her a whack of stuff to do while i went downstairs and played with dirty tools all day long, catching up on a lot and getting my “pending” shelves almost entirely cleaned off. ahh… the sense of accomplishment was awesome.
sometimes, working isn’t so very bad at all. i just wish it didn’t interfere with getting outside when the weather is as nice as it’s been the last few days.
