Just a tad busy...

Good grief. We're down three additional people today, and our hold times have been wandering between 7 and 20 minutes (this is horrendous -- it's normally closer to 1-3). I've already logged 110 tickets.

grf moved in this weekend, and that all seems to be going well. We decided to postpone moving musicalchaos' stuff down to Kent, so now it's stacked in the dining room instead, along with the stuff of mine that needs to be sorted and stored. I also got to hang out with infowidget and a_fascination over the weekend, got to chat some more with fabulousmisst, and I should be seeing greeniezona, lunatickle, and cupcakecomplex this evening. It's like an LJ implosion. I'm getting lots and lots of fun, intelligent conversation, though, which is making me thoroughly happy.

Tomorrow I'm patient-instructing, and Wednesday I'm working the holiday. Nothing else particularly exciting, although Mark did find me absolutely gorgeous artichokes at the West Side Market. Yum.

In much worse news, Cousin Jim is back in the hospital with complete liver failure. Dad's on his way there now.

I should be getting the July escorting schedule sorted out today. Unless our phone lines magically die, I don't think that's going to happen. Hopefully tomorrow.

Frustrating things in life

148 calls so far today. I hate the new resident rush. Handling it half-staffed blows.

3 people listed as available to escort this weekend. 5 is supposed bare minimum. Begging email has been sent.

lunatickle is at my house now. She leave the state tomorrow. I am here, and today, of all days, I can't beg my boss to let me go an hour early. Can I just say how much I wish I were there instead of here?


The above, although all moderately frustrating, aren't actually bringing my overall mood down, though, which is nice. And I've been having especially lovely conversations with marnanel today, which make me especially grateful for zir friendship.
