Monday, Stupid Monday

I had a hard time functioning today, and I have no idea why.

-I took 20 minutes to fax 25 pages of paperwork to corporate, and when it was finished corporate called me and told me I'd faxed them the back of 25 pages. When I faxed it again the fax machine told me I'd sent 26 pages. Better extra than not enough I guess.

-The email was screwed up so my Gmail dispatching system wasn't keeping up. I hate when email doesn't work. Customer service kept asking if I was ignoring them. Yes, all of a sudden I've decided to ignore you. That makes a lot of sense.

-I tried to give a little demonstration of a new product to a customer and couldn't make it work. I'd press the power button and some random lights would flash, then it would turn itself off. Power, nothing. Power, beep, nothing. I walked away to check the plug and it turned itself on and started behaving. Fine, give your own demonstration Alternating Wheelchair Cushion!

I think this was all caused by the successful baking of a loaf of banana bread. I even improvised a little in the cooking time, shelf placement, and the addition of an extra banana. I didn't burn it AND it tastes good. I should put bananas in the bottom of my shopping basket more often.

Anyway, the banana bread used up my all smooth-week karma on Sunday. It may be a long week. But a long week full of short days. I need to get caught up on my email, but when you get up at 5am, get home at 6pm or even later, and go to bed at 9pm, that leaves very little time for writing email. Or doing much of anything. I'm looking forward to both the end of radiation and next week when I get a week off from being my own supervisor. It takes a lot of work to keep track of myself, to say nothing of everybody else in my depot.
