The Good, The Bad and the Lost

Well it sure is a mixed bag of things this week. I've moved into the new flat with Margie and Nick - which is good. I've had the worst week in record this week at work - which is bad.

The new flat appears to be working out quite well, we all get on and things are going well. I'm even getting used to the bus service here.

Unfortunately work has not be so good. Dealing with inexperienced staff, a heavy workload and a lot of things that have led to my being very stressed out. I was left feeling like I was doing all the major jobs without any support. One of the staff had not left the shop in a good state and then tried to say that I was the one who messed everything up.

Meanwhile, I spent the last two days trying to get everything set up for customers while being constantly interrupted and having to deal with the reality that not a lot of the necessary work had been done the day before! Having one of the senior staff call in sick further complicated things.

I got so stressed out and infuriated, I took the day off today. Only to then have one of the staff at work tell another staff member I was pissed off with him. His response? To send me an abusive text. When I rang up to explain that I was stressed and grumpy - not anything personal - he abused me down the phone.

Two days out from my leaving. Well it is looking less and less likely that I will be going in tomorrow with the way things have gone the last couple of days. I shouldn't be letting it get to me, but it just has snowballed out of control. *sigh*

On the bright side, my xbox came back. :) So I have FINALLY got to start Lost Odyssey. This is Xbox 360's answer to Final Fantasy. And it is a damn good answer. The story is really interesting, and the voice actors are really good - along with some very good scripting. I can't wait to see what happens next!



Here's hoping that the weekend brings some more reasons to be positive and happy...
