I'm exhausted. Haven't called in sick in a while.
I think an occasional, totally unplanned, unstructured day off is salubrious, better than vacation even. (And I have the PTO to take.)
There's still quite a bit of pressure at work, since we're still understaffed by one person. (The supervisor is taking up the slack, and she can be at the breaking point at times and doesn't show.) Things could go very badly if two people are out, which is certainly not an unlikely scenario. (If three people were out, it could be a disaster.) But I'm told there's now a hiring freeze in place.
Meanwhile, the supervisor deals with the stress by buying ice cream, candy bars, chips, dips, etc. and bringing them into the department. (She's pretty overweight and diabetic.) I can't resist the ice cream, etc., but I refuse to get fat. (I'm already pushing it with my smoking.) And yesterday, God bless her, she bought me a ginormous slice of pizza.
Today I'm fasting.
[Later] Just ordered E. a refurbished Samsung laptop from Best Buy. Silver. Hope he likes it. ($400.)
