threadwalker1. Running rocks. I love being in my groove. On the other hand, weightlifting after a 6 month break... ouch.
2. Pre-trip insanity is insane. Work is bonkers. Totally bonkers. If they could, they'd cancel my trip and it's all because "they" ignored my offer of help on the front end of a project and now it's blown up and I'm one of two people who knows the history. Honestly, I feel bad, but only a little bad because my initial offer to help was strictly above and beyond my job AND they ignored me. Sucka.
3. little kids who climb into bed with you at 4 am because they had nightmares and need snuggles... so sweet and soothing.
4. Packed for trip 3 days early = sanity
5. My first blooper of the day: I was up and packed for the gym NEAR WORK at 4am. I forgot to pack something essential in my bag. Can you say commando? This wouldn't be a problem except I see my daily schedule after I get to work. Gowning training, which means a small group of us (ladies only) strip down to our underclothes in the locker room and proceed to other rooms... only I don't have any underclothes AND the stash of "PC Panties" I kept at work all went home for laundry and didn't come back. D'oh! What to do? I have an eye appt at lunch time. I wonder if I can squeeze in a quick shopping trip...hmmm...
Edit
I'm boggled. There was no time on my lunch break for shopping, just the necessary eye appt I've put off for 4 months. You cannot go into the mfg building without all the right "personal attire". At 3pm they needed someone to do a rush task that's spawned by NO. 2 above. It's in the mfg area and apparently I'm the only person on a site of 1000+ people who's qualified AND here on a Friday afternoon who can do this. But I still can't go in. One of my female co-horts fell out of her chair laughing at my replay of these conversations where I try to explain the situation to various men (including my boss) without explicitly saying anything that would require a call to HR.
Of all the days to mispack a gym bag, this is either the worst or (since I can't get sucked into the emergency work created by NO. 2 above) the best.
Of course this happens the day before an extended absense. High-Stare-I-Cal
