This morning I was planning on having a nice calm time before work at 3. That is, until my boss collapsed and all of my colleagues had to rally around him to make sure he was alive, call the ambulance etc. Except as soon as he heard an ambulance was coming, he shot up and declared that he was fine. Make of that what you will ;] We are all in agreement with our conclusion though...
So he got told to go home, everyone's mad at him for some reason or another - either because he seems to have faked it, or because he always refuses to have time off (which we'd love to happen), or because he works himself to illness and then leaves us all fucked up. So now I have to sleep at work tonight. I was expecting to have about 3 or 4 hours before evening service to do my office work before I go away tomorrow, but I ended up having to help everyone with kitchen work which totally ate into that time. I was expecting to have Tasha in to work tonight but she really doesn't want to because she's so mad at David for many reasons and is having a shit time at home at the moment. I am sad that she's feeling like this, I really am, but if you say you're going to work then you need to leave those issues behind and do it, you can't just decide not to turn up. Particularly when we're already so understaffed. If she didn't come in it would have been just me and Stew working, and it being a Saturday night that won't work, plus I still have all my office stuff to do.
So now I'm left feeling really guilty for making Tasha come back in to work cuz I know it's not fair and she's feeling really bad, but I don't have another choice, no one can do it. And she had most of the day off even though she's meant to be in all day. So she's come back and I am SO greatful to her, I really am. I hope the things I had to say to encourage her and make her realise she's really needed didn't go too far, but there's little I can do in this situaiton. So I'm going to do office work, she'll be downstairs and then if I'm needed I'm here. Otherwise I'd have no one to help if I needed an extra pair of hands, and I wouldn't be able to get my office stuff done. Argh, it's all so hectic. I am sick of the drama!!
On another note, I think I've broken my pinkie toe, which is really not a good plan considering I am going to London to walk 30 miles of the Thames over the next 3 days. Oops. We'll set up a toe-watch and see how thing's go ;]
Time to chill out a bit whilst getting some work done. Woot.
