Good God, I'm so fucking sore today. I normally take two days off a week from exercising, but I've gone five in a row now, with one more left. Trying to make up for the fact that I won't be able to on Friday, and probably not on Saturday or Sunday either.

Hey ret...best of luck with work this week and the domain you are working on. It sounds quite stressful and I know all too well about deadlines and repercussions for not meeting them. It definitely makes your head spin and only adds to everything else going on in your life. :willy_nilly:
Congrats on the weight loss!!! That's awesome buddy...keep up the good work. Hopefully before too long, you will get past being sore after your workouts. That is so the worst part of it, but it's a good thing! :clap

I'm seriously about ready to punch someone in the face. I've been dealing with Xerox and a 3rd party support company trying to get a printer fixed for work since the 19th of June. It still isn't fixed. They had techs out here last Tuesday that said they had to order a part and would be back later in the week to install it. I called in to find out what was going on, only to be told that the ticket was closed... so they got the tech on the phone. The tech proceeded to lie to me and say that the part was replaced... at that point I only had the word of my users to go off of. Then I went to the printer to replace a different part that Xerox had sent to me (that I was waiting to install until after this other part was replaced)... and found our internal service log where the tech noted that he had to order a part. Fucking lying motherfucker.
Printer still wasn't working after installing the part that Xerox sent. So I called back, and have been on the phone for the last 30 minutes... now they want me to sit on hold with Xerox for another 30 minutes to get another ticket opened... because for some reason they can't re-open the ticket (which has been reopened previously after the last time the fucker closed it).
This has been an absolute fucking clusterfuck, and I'm about ready to go on a facepunching spree here. This technician has done everything from blaming me for not configuring the printer properly (yet it's setup properly and has been working since last September), our paper (same paper we've been using since September), and the size of the paper (it's a custom size, but well within the specs for the printer). Then he tried to blame the moisture content of the paper... saying it had moisture that was causing issues... except that it's stored in a room with an air conditioner that removes excess humidity from the air.
RAGE.

So the guy opened up another ticket with Xerox for me... who is claiming that the problem must be the paper.
THE FUCKING PAPER WORKS WITH ANOTHER FUCKING PRINTER YOU FUCKING MENTAL MIDGETS!
It's also the same damn paper I've been using for almost a motherfucking year.
The guy told me that Xerox may just close the ticket and not bother with it... fucking awesome. I'm going to go on a rampage... this is the last fucking thing that I need to fucking deal with right now. I'm barely holding on mentally as it is.

Then perhaps you should have made a different decision. :dunno
Well, even after the burger and fries, I only ended up 200 calories over my goal for the day. So I guess I don't have to self-loathe as much. My main regret is that I didn't go to the gym... but I've figured out how I can go tomorrow and on Saturday.
In other news, I'm stressing out a ton right now over my transition to a domain and exchange server this weekend. I have a meeting with my boss and guys at our parent company in about an hour and a half. I'm certain that I've prepped enough for it, I'm just worried that something will go horribly wrong and I'll end up getting reamed or lose my job because of it. I'm currently working on an emergency backup plan in case it all goes to hell. But I'm not planning on telling anyone else about it; because it'll just look like I'm planning to fail. When in actuality I'm just trying to be prepared, but I know none of them will see it that way.
I'm a giant ball of stress right now, and have taken it out on people that haven't deserved it, and I feel like shit because of it. "/ All of my work on trying to be a better person has gone down the drain... and maybe I'm incapable, I don't really know. Every step of progress is eventually followed by a step back, leaving me in a constant state of never moving forward... but I guess I'm not moving back... but at the same time, I'm not sure how much further back I could move anyway.

My boss is such a fucking narcissist.... most of the staff is having a meeting right now, and he's forcing them all to look of pictures of him getting a tattoo over the weekend, on the projector. He tried to get the rest of the staff to come see, but I decided I was too busy.
Fucking fuckhead.
Fucking fuckhead.
It's D-Day... I'm having a bit of a freakout session today. I've got a shitton of work to do tonight, and I'd rather be at home napping in preparation for a really long night. Buuut... I have to get normal stuff done today before I get started. Ugh.
In other news, I've gotten back up to almost a week of vacation time... after next month I'll have it. God only knows when I'll actually be able to take the time off... especially considering that I have nowhere to go. I guess I'll just start saving it up for next May when I fly out to South Carolina for my friend's wedding.
