Sorry. Had a bad / frustrating morning. I felt like I needed to tell that to the void to keep myself from crumpling up into the fetal position.

Today did end up being an okay kind of day. It's been even better since I clocked out of work about a hour & a half ago. The weather is still beautiful, so I've been sitting out in my porch drinking an adult beverage. I think the beverage has more booze in it than I realized. I went inside for something a little bit ago, and my vision is slightly altered. I'm nowhere near buzzed, but I can definitely tell that I've had alcohol. 😁

Back to reality tomorrow after a week away from work. I just turned my work phone & laptop back on. I made the mistake of glancing at my email. 😩 I've been gone a week. I was in the middle of a project that I was told was priority #1. New tasks assigned that are due by Wednesday. 🤔 And some from the same account manager that the "#1 priority" project is for. 😳 What I wouldn't give to work for a company that knew how to manage web projects. Hell ... one that even CARES about web projects. 🥺

This project is going to be the death of me. 1) I'm using a WordPress builder theme [Divi] instead of creating a custom theme — not my choice. 2) The designer used AI to create a lot of the graphics (if not most of them) and did not "check his work". 😩 3) The designer clearly did not care about consistency throughout his design. Images placed willy-nilly. Font sizes for headings are whatever he wanted to use to fill the space. 🤦🏼‍♀️ 4) The account manager is not responsive. Never responds. 🤬

It really is crazy what gets you excited as you get older. I was over the moon today because my new storm door was installed. Yep. That's right. A door. I was excited over a door. LOL My old one was destroyed because my neighbor's downspout was right by the door & was cracked, causing water to pour onto my door when it rained & when the snow melted in the spring. They moved the downspout away from the doors last month when we all got new roofs. Perfect time for me to get a new door. 😁

So you're telling me that if I don't agree to receive text message marketing BS from you, I can't register my new storm door? Remind me to never purchase a Larson brand door ever again. Why even ask me to agree if you won't let me submit the form if I __don't__ agree? 🤨

Today was the worst Monday morning that I've had in a while. And that's saying something. It was okay for the first few hours. Then it went off the rails the last hour & a half or so. I've already logged just about 5 hours for the day. 4 more to go after lunch.

I really want to get out of the house this afternoon and do something. But there's just one problem ... there are people out there. And I don't wanna deal with people. 🫣
