Weekend

Working On A Sunday (and Monday)

by

This weekend was a 3 day weekend (4 days if you count the day off I took Friday). I wouldn’t have know that if I looked at what I did this weekend. See I worked all day yesterday and today. I actually just finished up a call a few minutes ago. That means I was working on and off since 10 AM this morning. Fun. If that wasn’t enough fun, I worked from about 11:30 AM to about 9 PM last night also. I had problems with something at work that required attention. I don’t like days like this, but I also know that days like the last two come with the job. That doesn’t really make you feel much better when a weekend is ruined, but it is true.

I didn’t have major plans yesterday but I wanted to do some shopping. That was out. I didn’t plan on it, but Beata wanted to goto dinner tonight and I couldn’t because of a planned call I had, that actually turned into two calls that lasted about two and a half hours. Having to cancel or avoid making plans because of unplanned after hour work is not fun.

Now I am sitting on my bed with my netbook writting this post and some other stuff, while listening to music. I am trying to unwind from the crazyness I had all day and get ready for sleep so I can get up and start the real work week!

On top of all the craziness that went on, I also ended up taking some migraine medication since I started getting a head ache this morning. All in all a stressful semi depressing weekend.

So Far, A Lazy Weekend

by

Today was a total lazy day. I got up around noon after only going to bed at around 11:30 last night. I didn’t do that many productive things today and I am very happy about it. I did clean my apartment a bit, scanned and shredded some documents, and ordered a printer. Other than that I was pretty lazy.

I don’t mind being lazy since I was so busy during the week. I had plans Monday, Tuesday, & Thursday this week. I almost had plans Friday but I was so tired I decided not to go out. I like going back and forth between really busy and lots of lull time to relax. I know by Monday I will be a bit bored but for now I am living it up. For me this is a 4 day weekend. I took off yesterday, and I have Monday off as a holiday. With the 7 train not running tomorrow I will probably have a lazy day then too. I don’t have anything so pressing that I want to deal with shuttle bus’s and lots of waiting tomorrow.

OK, now off to bed!

Lazy Sunday

by

The 7 train isn’t running this weekend. That meant I had an interesting time getting home late last night / early this morning. I had to take the Q to Queens-borough Plaza and wait for a shuttle bus to take me to my stop. What could be a short trip took over an hour with all the waiting. I didn’t get home till after 2:30AM and into bed until after 3.

I didn’t get up until after 12. I felt like crap. That is what happens when I mess up my sleeping patterns. I had breakfast and felt a bit better. Thankfully today is/was a lazy day. I am doing some laundry and hanging out. It is nice out, but I just want to relax so I haven’t been out today.

Since I have no food in the house apparently I am debating on what to order for dinner.

Stupid Cold

by

I am fighting a stupid cold this weekend. I haven’t gotten totally sick but I feel crapy enough with the soar throat and itchy ears. I can’t describe the ear discomfort in any other way but itchy. I have been taking Tylenol Cold and Zicam for a few days. I haven’t gotten that much worse, but I haven’t gotten better either. I am not sure if that is good or bad.

I stayed in this weekend with the hopes of resting. I didn’t do much resting, but that was the plan. Right now I am tired and just not able to nap. I am doing a load of laundry, and not happy that I have another load I probably should do after this one is done.

The Work Weekend

by

I had to work this weekend. It wasn’t just work, but I had to be onsite at a data center for all of Saturday. I can’t and won’t really talk about what I did, but it was allot of waiting, and then allot of work. During a lul in the work I left a little before 9PM. I got home before 10 and was back on a conference call regarding the work that was going on. Unfortunately things took allot longer than originally anticipated and I had to get on another call at midnight. It didn’t end until after 4AM.

I vaguely remember getting to bed around 4:30 and was up by 9:30 freaking that I slept past an alarm I had at 9AM for another call. Thankfully that call never happened anyway. I ended up working for the majority of the day until after 5. Thankfully everything worked out ok, but things were dicy for a while. I really would like to talk in more detail but I am mindful of the sensitivity of what I work with. So nothing more than the vague descriptions I gave.

Thankfully I was able to get a little rest in tonight before sitting down to write this. Now it is off to bed.
