caitriMonday: Walked into work to find my workstation mysteriously fried over weekend. After an entire morning of meetings, went to a lunch meeting where I realized I forgot to back-up a file for a major project I was working on. Lost like....four hours of work because Friday afternoon I was tired and forgot to upload the one. file. I needed before I left. Colleague also asked me to stay after work so we could hash out design for said project. Got home at 7pm.
Tuesday: Tornado warning at work, so we all retreated to the basement for half an hour. Thankfully the alert was overplanning; there were high winds, but no dangerous danger. Still nerve-wracking. Had to immediately go to a meet and greet for new students to sell the libraries, followed by an afternoon of computer wrangling with IT--they came back and forth with three different machines before getting one to actually work. And then one of my critical programs didn't, so they had to come back....
Wednesday: Today. Which, thankfully they did, and I also had a monthly meeting with my boss updating her on the insanity that is my work life right now, and also thankfully she is encouraging and supportive. Nonetheless, I didn't get back home to work on my research until past 11am, so almost half a day lost. I made up for it despite general exhaustion, because my diss edits have to happen.
I am SO TIRED, you guys. But I gotta make a bunch of work things happen, including an outreach event on Saturday. ::tired whimper::
