Work day

I got a text from my co-worker last night at 9pm.  It was asking if I wanted to work in the office today.  I didn't really want to but I do have those 5 floater days when they can call me if it gets super crazy.  As I was mulling it over I got another text saying that she wanted the day off.  The kind of made me a little upset.  My understanding was that these 5 days were to be used, like I already said, when it gets super crazy, not when someone wants a day off.  I agreed to go in because I didn't have an excuse not to.

That kind of ruined my night.  I know had to get to sleep at an appropriate time and wake up at 6:45am.  I know it doesn't sound all that bad, but when you're use to sleeping in and slowly waking up and just generally being a little lazy in the morning, it's a rough Friday.  Also, I was upset that my first day back at work would be because someone just wanted a day off.

So I tried to get to sleep early and I was in luck, as I was actually tired last night.  But I couldn't get comfortable.  I was tossing and turning and keeping Tyler awake.  It wasn't very nice.

And then I woke up.  And it was time to get the day started.  I actually got a lot of sleep last night because I popped out of bed and was soon in the shower, eating breakfast and heading off to work.

And then I got frustrated.  Once I got to work, I found an envelope on my desk, with a note asking me to do something.  My only issue with people doing that is that I don't know when I will be coming into work.  So, to simply put that there and not tell me about it will likely lead to me not knowing anything about it.  I just hope they don't put anything urgent by my desk.  But I'm sure they aren't that stupid.

It turns out that my co-worker had a whole to-do list for me, which I find so strange because it wasn't until 9pm that she asked me if I could work.  Just strange that she had things lined up for me.  The to-do list consisted of all the things she hates doing.  One of the things I had notice while I guarded was the admin filing.  It had been piling up and piling up and when I got that text last night, I promised Tyler I wouldn't do it because that is just promoting that lazy attitude that someone else will deal with it.  But then I spent about 15 minutes on the project and it was done.  I'm not sure why she doesn't just do it every day, then it will be a short quick job.

I also had to do some ordering, some labeling, some answering of the phone.  It was actually a pretty quiet day and I got the whole list done by about 3:45.  As much as I have complained about having to go in because of a day off, it was a really easy day for me, and I had some fun.  I enjoy talking and laughing with the cops so it wasn't a huge bust of a day.  And it wasn't as nice outside today as it was yesterday, so I'm pretty happy about that.

I did have a good day.  It's nice to be welcomed back and told that I can do a weeks worth of work in one day.  That's always a good ego boost.

And then I came home.  It was good to come home.  We forgot to take out meat for supper so I did this when I came home, and I placed it in the oven's warming drawer.  Soon Tyler came home and he was off to making supper.  We had roasted meat with leftover biscuits.  It was the best thing I've had in so long.

Then we turned on a hockey game while we looked through a magazine and found things we want to buy for our camping collection.  It's all horribly expensive so it will have to be bought in stages but I'm pretty sure we can do it over time.

We are now watching a movie.  I might stretch out over the exercise ball because I've been sitting pretty much all day.  It's hard on the body to sit all day long.

Happy long weekend!!  3 days spent with Tyler, and it's going to be awesome.  We don't have any plans because Tyler is on call but it's going to be nice to spend all this time together.
