Thursdays

I woke up this morning thinking about how much I like Thursdays. In fact, I often think of how it is my favorite day of the week because it means that you are more than half way done with the work week and can look forward to Friday.

As I was getting ready I planned out all my goals for the day of what I needed accomplish before tomorrow. I was able to get payroll done early this week in preparation for a less crazy Friday and was actually looking forward to a more relaxed latter of the week. Ha! I should have thought twice with all my positive thinking because I found myself most of the day on the phone either getting into heated money collection fights that ended in my hanging up on the general contractors due to their lack in funding for the past two months or yelling at my coworker to get out of my office because he was screaming explicitly at one of our sales reps in hopes of firing him while I was yet, again, on the phone. My desk was a mess the entire day which I hate(I think the picture illustrates how I looked most of the day). On top of that, due to a lack of communication it is possible that my insurance will not be taking affect until next June, as with a couple others in the company, simply because our health insurance broker could not remember to tell us that there was a 30 day waiting period upon new hires as opposed to 6 months. You know what that means? Open enrollment is the only opportunity which does not come around until next June. Now, because most of the day was spent putting out fires, tomorrow is catch up day for the tasks I wasn't able to do today.

Never again will I sit on my high horse that early in the morning expecting Thursday to be the best day of the week...
