[venting]

I was going to get off work early today, but made the mistake of checking my e-mail before I left. In my inbox, I had SIX orders to fill (on bids that we placed in October). I had to re-research all of them, and of course, FIVE were not listed in the main public records, so I had to do twice as much research. At work, we have two types of orders as far as I'm concerned: EDI (which drop all the order information automatically), and PDF which I have to type up completely. Of course, these were all PDF and each had four pages to type up! With all the researching, typing, and creating files, I was there another TWO hours! So much for getting off early.

Well, I guess it could have been worse. If I didn't check my e-mail, I would have had to stay two hours late on a Friday.

I'm kind of sad to not use this blog, except for on rare occasion. The nostalgic part of me feels some comfort here in the world of my own creating, yet the vain part of me enjoys how many people read my other one....

[breathe]

Take a moment to breathe, truly breathe. Feel the air surging in; through your nose, down the back of you throat, filling your lungs. Stop everything take a moment, disengage from every little petty thing swirling blindly through your occluded mind. Leave, the world behind for just a moment, eyes closed, thoughts lucid, heart unruffled. Breathe, and for a rare moment you will know that everything will really be okay...
