The cooling embers

She spent the rest of the morning in her passive-aggressive state, getting very little done. “Hah!” she thinks, “If they insist on doing things that aren’t rational, I’ll at least do them poorly.”

After lunch, she starts getting some work done. Boss-lady calls to apologize for the overload that came in during the weekend, and to start working on things together.

By the end of the day, she has completed one task. Ironically enough, she only ever planned to get one task done today - just a different one.

She stays late to attend a teleconference working on one of the many tasks which have nothing to do with her real job, but because boss-lady’s interested, it has to be done.

Then she calls DH, dashes home just in time to attend ANOTHER teleconference (flex time is wonderful, flex time is wonderful, repeat until she believes it), working on ANOTHER task that has nothing to do with her real job.

One bizarre round of explosive diarrhea, somehow stemming from the highly successful new eating plan she followed today. Plenty of veggies, much less chocolate.

Dinner, family time, early to bed.
