Over the Hump Day

In one of the worst weeks of my tenure at the paper.

Working both day and night allows me to enjoy the headaches from both shifts. I hate it.

Advertising and Production had always had a sort of adversarial relationship, and to be caught in the middle is miserable. My allegiance must be to the job at hand, but then I still must face the night boss when he comes in. I hate it.

Our computers are tied into the local production network, and it is awful to watch things clog up and slow down, just when I really need to find enough closure to go home. Half hour of overtime last night, one hour tonight. I dread tomorrow night, when I will probably not get home by midnight. I hate it.

Two nights left, but likely the worst of the week. I hate it.

But next week is my week off.

Love it.

Yeeew...Work really interfers with our lives, doesn't it?!? I hate that part of being an adult...seriously. But I DO love those paychecks whether I deserve them or not! LOL

So sorry ... my brother who works at a printing facility in the Ithaca area cites similar conflicts. What is it with Hard Copy and unhappy workers!?
