This has been a hell of a week. I’m moving in six days and have barely packed anything except for my calendar for the upcoming week. I’ve had some huge, important things (it’s not like it’s brain surgery. Oh, wait, it *is* brain surgery) tossed onto my calendar at work and the result is my defaulting on promises that I’ve made to people, both personally and professionally. Combine that with friends who are attacking me for my lack of availability and my head is going to explode. I literally had a close friend say that she would have to host a party so that visiting her was more worth my time. Quite frankly, that hurts a lot.

I HATE missing my obligations and not living up to promises that I’ve made because my boss doesn’t consider that I’m an adult with a schedule and both personal and professional commitments. I cannot be everyone’s “goto guy” for everything. I just can’t.

On an amusing note, my shredder literally shredded itself tonight. The Staples Mailmate is such an amazing piece of crap that I’m left dumbfounded by its existence. This is my second in two months. The only upside is that it literally swelled as it tore apart its insides and its guts pressed out on the plastic parts of its case. It was pretty fun to watch, actually. Also, I blame Unicef for the offending piece of mail. I now regret those years of “trick or treat for Unicef.”
