All Before 10:15
10:15 and so far the morning has been one hazard after another! I thought I set my alarm an hour earlier than I thought I did, so I woke up late and didn't get any writing in. THEN, I stepped into the bathroom and there was an inch of water on the floor! Our upstairs neighbor had some sort of water situation and it leaked through our ceiling. EGADS! As a result (don't gag people), I wasn't able to take a shower, so I feel totally CRUDDY.
THEN, the subway was SLOW. It took 15 minutes longer than it usually does, which means something when you're a temp. THEN the train was so crowded, I reached for a bar to hold on to, but realized I was going to have to hold on to the bar on the other side, so I put my arm down and proceeded to elbow a lady in the ear. I apologized profusely, but she was non impressed.
THEN, I get to work and have to make 60 copies of a handout and the stapler runs out in the machine. So I go to fill it, but the directions are hard to follow, so when I put the refill in, I do so apparently incorrectly, because the remaining 32 copies go unstapled! THEN, I reach to use the manual stapler and it's OUT of staples! SO I go to fix the stapler in the copier--because I just can't leave it--and see what the problem is--I didn't take the strip of paper off that holds the staplers together. So as I try to take the strip off the tightly packed cube of staple sheets, the staple sheets decide to eject themselves and GO FLYING EVERYWHERE. I am hoping and praying that no one walks in and sees me--the temparary worker, who by sheer assocition with temping, has to prove that she has any intellegence at all. I scramble to get the little sheets of straight staples and try to figure out how the heck to put them into the copier machine. Finally, through many different attempts, trying and then trying again, I figure it out and PRESTO! The stapler in the copier is working again!
THEN I get back to my desk and begin manually stapling the copies, when i look at the clock and I realize it's 10:02m! My time sheet was supposed to be submitted no later than 10:00! This is possibly a catastrophe, because of the mishap of last week's time sheet (not my mistake), was no approved in time, so Ialmost didn't get paid, which means my rent almost didn't get covered. As it is, I am literally going to be shuffling thing around to make sure I have enough for food this week until I get paid--hopefully--on Friday. PLEASE let them accept a timesheet submitted at 10:06! PLEASE! Or else this will be the morning that will last until next week!
SCREW IT. I'm going to mix hot chocalate into my coffee and have a poor girl's mocha! Sugar free diet be damned!
