So, I left the house at 4:30 this morning and went to work. I left work at 4:20 this afternoon. I worked just over 11 hours. I dispatched and scheduled until 1pm and then drove from 2-4. GAH!
We actually had enough people this morning. It looked good until 12:20, about 15 minutes before I planned to leave. Then suddenly THREE people called in that they wouldn't be able to work...a fourth TRIED to call in, but one of the other dispatchers told him NO. If only this could have waited 20 minutes, I would have been out of there free and clear. But no, they called while I was there and that old Protestant work ethic kicked right in. I simply MUST find a surgeon to remove it.
Maybe I'll cut and run a bit earlier tomorrow. And then take myself to lunch at Victor's -- Cuban food and cafe con leche. I sense a plan coming on.
But in better news, T-3 days. And then I won't be working for two glorious weeks. Well, I WILL be working at PCon, but that's way more fun. :) Doin' the happy dance about seeing all my lovely friends who will be there.
