Nothing helps a bad mood like spreading it around

Yesterday I woke up with a migraine. Or, I guess it was a migraine since it didn't respond to any of my usual over the counter treatments. So I spent the first half of the day in bed. But since it was payroll day, there was no avoiding the fact that I had to go in. I had eleven freaking missed calls in four hours! What is wrong with these people that they can't think for themselves?? I went to bed several hours early last night, and woke up again today with the same headache. I almost got into a shouting match with the co-worker who acts like my boss and was forced to stop mid-sentence and walk away before I really lost my patience and said or did something regretable. I can't help it that I was doing the same project that the boss gave his assistant, but I really should have been doing it because I had the data that was required to complete the project. Why this causes my other co-worker so much frustration (and why it's any of her damn business) is a mystery to me. She seems to want to be the boss, and gets her nose out of joint when I question her right to designate work to me. Especially considering my workload and how I have to prioritze assignments these days. She can't wrap her brain around the fact that she does not come first. Because of the project that came up this morning and a couple of tasks I need to complete before the weekend, I have to go into work after getting some dental work done tomorrow morning. I'm not terribly thrilled about this, since I had originally planned on having the whole day off. I've been feeling the raw edges of serious burnout creeping up on me all week, and I need a break to just diffuse.

I'm watching Jamie and Adam getting drunk on Mythbusters. Thirteen drinks in three hours between them...and now for the field unsobriety test! An adult beverage sounds pretty awesome right now, actually. Maybe a White Russian. I guess I'll have to pick up the ingredients this weekend and make it happen.
