stress

Work right now is all about stress. Friday was a fairly terrible day. It was incredibly busy, with programs at both museum locations all day long. Plus Kara was sick and had lost her voice, so I had to pick up some of her slack (although she claims it didn't have any impact on her work that day, which makes me worry even more actually). I say it all the time, I should buy a pedometer so that I can see how far I walk on these busy days. Cause I crossed that street about 1000 times, sometimes running instead of walking. It was just pure insanity. And then Kara had the balls to imply today that I wasn't doing my job well enough. I had told her that in general, when there are 5 busses in the parking lot she should come out there and help instead of going inside with the teacher, and today she told me that her groups were taken care of and the bus that had just pulled up was one of my groups, so that's why she walked away. So somehow it ceased to be her job, at that very moment. Ugh. It really irritated me.

One good thing that came out of the busy day was that I wore my snood for the first time. It was a little smaller than would have really been ideal, but I think it went well.

It stayed where it belonged, at least. Now I'm working on a new one, a little larger and with elastic this time. Exciting, no?

Unfortunately this is just the beginning of the work stress. Starting next week, we're going to have 3 programs going at the old location and 4 at the new one. In other words, lots of running across the street. Man, I can't wait.
