Early to bed, early to rise, etc.
Feb. 1st, 2021 08:00 pm I spent most of today feeling like utter crap, and it is 100% because I sucked at going to bed at a decent hour all of last week. I dragged my way through work, postponed my Skype date with my parents to tomorrow, and am in my pajamas and tucked into bed.
I did this to myself, but the good news is that I can also fix it by going to bed on time and getting back into good habits.
It's been a frustrating day at work. I spent more time than I wanted to talking to the Director of one of the pay services (there are several, because government) because my employee's pay STILL isn't sorted out. I am so frustrated on her behalf. I don't have the energy to go into detail, but it feels like every time we do this dance I get the shocked Pikachu reaction from the people I'm talking to: "Oh, gosh, we've never SEEN this problem before!" And today, to add insult to injury, a different pay service emailed back saying we'd submitted her forms wrong, while referencing stuff that was submitted, like, six months ago and which we already corrected and re-submitted. ARGH. Anyway, I think I got them sorted out, and I will call and follow up tomorrow so my employee can get paid. I hope.
Combine that with tech problems (we're switching to a new platform for one of the secure networks, and things have gone pear-shaped) and you get a very tired Phnee. So, early to bed it is. With any luck I will awaken feeling restored, and tomorrow will be an improvement.
Good night, all!
