A Case Of The Mondays Doesn’t Even Begin To Describe It.

I had every intention of doing a detailed Grammy’s post tonight, but I just don’t think it’s going to happen.

Today was a Monday in every horrible sense of the word. I awoke with an anxiety attack, which tends to happen a lot on Mondays – probably because my alarm is a reminder of how much I don’t like going to work. Plus, my boss tends to be in the crankiest of cranky moods on Mondays and basically changes the rules depending on which way the wind between his ears is blowing, so I never know what I’ll be walking into. Not a nice feeling to have first thing in the morning, I must say.

When I got to the office, the first hour or so was okay because my boss wasn’t there. I’m not really sure when he arrived, but soon I found myself upstairs in his office playing the role of whipping post. He didn’t raise his voice at me this time – perhaps me telling him a dozen times not to yell at me finally sunk in. But, he had to yell at somebody so, long story short, he called an office that keeps sending us court papers that have nothing to do with us and totally went ballistic on the woman who answered the phone. And by ballistic I mean totally off the wall balls out crazy. Eventually she hung up on him, as she should have. I seriously could not believe what I had just witnessed. After she hung up on him and his tirade ended, he turned around in his chair and was calm again. It was the flash of all flashes.

Honestly, I sort of wish he would go back to drinking. Once upon a time he looked to booze to deal with his frustration and anger when he was feeling overwhelmed. Well, he doesn’t drink anymore and clearly has absolutely no clue how to handle those emotions and feelings he used to drown in a bottle. It’s kinda sad, actually; a middle aged man throwing childish temper tantrums.

He was so crazy this morning that I wasn’t able to tell him I would be taking an early lunch because my sister, brother-in-law and nephew were traveling through town. So when they got there a half hour before I thought, I just left without telling him. Lunch was by far the best part of my day today, and was far too short.

The afternoon went pretty smoothly – usually when my boss goes off on me in the morning, he avoids me the rest of the day unless he actually needs something. Then I was all ready to leave for the day and my nameless boyfriend sprung a task on me that ended up taking three friggin’ hours.

I finally left my office at 8:00pm and came home. Shortly thereafter one of my best friends called me and asked if I wanted her notes from the Grammy’s. I said yes of course, then proceeded to verbally shat on her about my day. I love her; it was like she was my angel for the day – she let me vent and gave me a way to do a Grammy’s post.

Ok, I feel better now. Oh, and in case you were wondering, when my boss acts the way he did this morning, I barely talk. I think it drives him nuts. But that’s not why I do it – I just don’t want to give him a reason to act even crazier so I can get out of there before my whole day is ruined. Usually I sing a song to myself; this morning it was a little ditty about how a certain someone should be medicated, and was laced with profanities.

Oh! On top of it all, my ankle gave out this morning when I got out of bed and messed up my foot so I was in pain all day. And now my hip is funky because I was walking wrong all day.

Is Monday over yet??
