I'm Just Tired

This weekend was the busiest for me. On Sunday I had to go to Northern Virginia for a Motor Maids meeting. That's my women's moto. group. If you know anything about the mid atlantic, you should know that Northern VA is the worst place to go. There are always traffic jams, accidents, a zillion people trying to maneuver in say, 30 square miles of each other. That last estimate was just a guess, but it is very populous and basically a nightmare. Luckily I got down there early enough so I didn't run into traffic, but the drive was just stressful. Sunday night I got home at 5:30 and fell asleep by 10:30. Just so you know, I usually get into bed at 11, and fall sleep after Three's Company (my new favorite bedtime show).

Yesterday I get to work and no one understands the English language. I asked one girl (lady, whatever) to tell her group that they can use an incubator, just be expeditious about going in and out because I'm running a test. She thought that meant 'Empty the incubator.' Hmmm...if you don't understand, there is a book with a red cover in the closet. It might have the name Webster on it. It has these things called definitions. They tell you what a word means. Use it. So of course, she has to write to my boss and say that there's no way they can empty it. I told my boss "I have no idea what you or that girl are talking about." They had to have a meeting. HA!

Next thing I do is host a meeting for my group. I explain what's going on and for them to get back to me by the end of the week. Cheatergirl is too "busy" to attend a group meeting, and she showed up when we got back to our seats. After the meeting I sent out an email with a color code outlining each person's tasks. Cheaterguy was at the meeting and then asked me 'what do the colors mean?' I explained everything to him AGAIN and then he said 'Oh, I didn't read the email.' NO WONDER YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON!!!' Seriously, even if you didn't read the email, I explained it at the meeting. Now I get an email from cheatergirl saying "I wasn't at the meeting, can you explain this?" I did, but can she read? If either of them talks to me today I'm answering different questions. 'Oh, did you get my email?' they will say. I will say 'sorry, I have an appointment at 2:15'. HA!!HA!!

I'm just really tired of trying to explain everything to everyone, speak in a pleasant tone, deal with others, and get my eight hours of work in a day. I need a three day nap.

I've done the three day nap thing and trust me, it's not all it's cracked up to be.
