OK, I think Heidi's (Fishbone) stress has telegraphed to me. :rolleyes:

My boss in on vacation

One of my co-workers is on vacation

My other full time co-worker is 'home sick' (she is historically out 4-5 days/month for stress related migraines, and while I am sympathetic to her, I really needed her here today)

I am rolling out new technology to our retail stores this month, I am testing the next phase of this technology, and have a conference call today at 1:00. So in addition to trying to support all our end users solo, I have to try and schedule this conference call, and get someone to cover my dept's phones while I am on it.

:arrrrgggghhhhhh:

I think I need some nice, calming, serene PD

So if I am MIA, you all know why.

Repeat this to yourself (I've heard it works on trains, I hope it'll work on imploding humans, too;) ):

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can. I know I can, I know I can, I know I can.:p

Well,

I made it til 1PM, and things are starting to calm down.

GP--I knew it would be a toughy, so I only had half a cup of 'high test' this morning, and then switched to water!

Thanks for the well wishes everyone!!!!

Here's some extra strength PD to get you through the home stretch. You can do it.

Please don't implode imagine the stress migranes the soworker will have finding your imploding mess all over your keyboard. She'll never come to work;)

LOL--you are so funny today.

Nope, I am in the home strech, have one more mini conference call at 4:30 (who the heck schedules a conference call at 4:30????) And then, hopefully I am done!!!! I am going to go to the beach, get take out fish and chips, and sit outdoors and eat! Darn it, that's what I am going to do!!!!

Oh goodness, Debbie! Sounds like a rough day for sure! It's been a doozy of a day at the bank where I work too, but not as bad as that! Sending some calming pixie dust your way *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

It sounds as if you did a wonderful job handling everything at work today! You sure deserve fish and chips on the beach now! Did you end up getting some??? :)
