      Every time I decide to take an afternoon off or try to do something fun, it always backfires.

      So my boss loved the clean up job I did this morning and offered me the day off, so I took it. I came home and had a nap.

      One of my clients phoned me six times while I was sleeping. The phone rings in the office first, then my cell phone. My boss will normally answer the phone, but he knows how much I hate this client cause he’s a TOOL and doesn’t understand that I don’t have time to see him (but he refuses to find another tech, even when I offer to send one). So my nap was interrupted.

      Then the seniors across the hall must have smoked 10 packs today cause I wake up with eyes watering to hell and can’t breathe, which is why we need to get out of here so bad.

      Then I fall out of bed and get my laptop in my tail bone. Yeah. I cried.

      We were going to go for dinner and a movie, but since Narnia is 2.5 hours long and I’m in pain, we just go for dinner, which was a complete and useless event. I’m so pissed at it I didn’t even attempt to argue the bill, I just paid and left.

      Tomorrow I need to lie on my back in order to wire the last of the cabinets too.

      And Friday I have to lift the 110 lb server out of the rack, which is 6 feet in the air.

      Great.

      I’ll be crying this weekend.

        You can cry on my shoulder for sympathy. Will things die down for you after the Windstone move?

          Im sorry Snap. I wish you would have skipped the dinner and seen Narnia. It was great. I hope your butt feels better. 🙂 Need more hugs?

          I’m sorry Snap. I hope tomorrow is a better day. 🙁 (hugs and a soft pillow to put under your tailbone)

            Poor Snap, I would say I’ll kiss your boo boo and make it better but…. I could send you my butt pillow. It really does help when you have to sit or do anything that involves butt to hard surface contact.

            YIKES! 😯 Now THERE is a very disturbing mental image…Sometimes a really vivid imagination is NOT a good thing….although I’m quite sure Snap would enjoy that 😉 …LMAO.
            Sounds more like poor Snap will need a good back massage after all that lying on the back and lifting. Hitting the tailbone is on a par with hitting your funnybone–HARD. Ouch! To hell with chocolate; this calls for serious comfort; *sends a bottle of Jack Daniels Snap’s way*

              JD, oh great, so I’ll wake up Monday morning, have no idea where I am, and find out the web server is lost in the river somewhere.

              *Sends Snap some Ice Tea to go with his JD*

              (My fiancee swears by it!!!! Tried it camping, I think he calls it Jack’s Tea).

              It’s either good hot or cold, but since I don’t like JD I find both ewwie.

              *gets out Cuervo Gold to drink with Snap* 😀 😀

              aww Snap, you poor guy. What a crappy day. Bring a pillow with you to the office for when you’re laying on your back.

              Awww…Snap. I hope your tailbone doesn’t hurt for too long! *hugs*

                    Are you kidding, I can’t even lie in bed right now. No way I can finish the wiring this week.

                      As a wife of a computer geek/god. I feel for you on the clients being PITAs.
                      I can’t believe they pay him that much money to plug a keyboard in or to move a printer.
                      He’s finally at a point where he actually turned his phone of for our weekend at the lake 😯 He’s never done that before!
                      The one big contract he has just doubled his $, so I think he doesn’t feel the need to be that accomodating to the more irritating clients. But still, I don’t understand why someone would pay him to move a monitor to another desk, but it means another windstone for me when they do. So I’m not complaining 😆
