Please bear with me, I need to vent a little.
Tomorrow is the deadline for me to send my application to get government funding for my M.A. research project. I've been working on this for weeks but somehow it feels like I'm still doing everything at the last minute.
I still don't know if I'll get my university transcript in time to send tomorrow... so all my work might amount to nothing if they refuse my application because my transcript is late.
Today at work, I was feeling really tense because of all this, and I was waiting for my former university prof to get back to me with comments on my application. I knew he's always reliable, but I just couldn't relax until I got his comments.
I couldn't even keep myself distracted with work because there was nothing for me to do at work. And I couldn't vent to my co-workers because I don't want my boss to know I'll be leaving them next year to go to school.
Oh, and yesterday at work, one of our client called to complain that he didn't receive his package in time. I spent almost an hour on the phone with UPS and finally figured out what happened - the UPS truck was late and the packaged missed the flight.
Then the client "thanked" me for investigating this by yelling at me over the phone that it was unacceptable that his package was late. Why couldn't he understand that I DON'T work for UPS and it wasn't my fault.
Also, my apartment is a
mess. The dirty dishes in the sink smell funny now, the floor needs to be vacuumed and mopped and there's stuff lying around that needs to be put away.
And on top of all that, I'm sick. My throat is really scratchy and I can't stop coughing.
I still have a bit of work to do on my application tonight.
Can someone please put me out of my misery?
I try to think positive thoughts (I AM very excited about my MA project, and so is the prof who agreed to supervise me) but right now all I want is to take a bath, get into my pyjamas, have some hot chocolate, turn on some cartoons and fall asleep in front of the TV. I really don't want to have any work to do
