New Work Record

Well, it happened: I set a new record for longest shift at work: Just short of half a day, twelve hours.  I didn't think it was going to happen.  Actually, I thought I would get out of there earlier than usual because it was the day before Independence Day and I thought people at the company would want to leave as soon as they could.  Nope, they went the other way: Because of the holiday, they went through all the work that was out there.  And since shit rolls down, I, in The Fourth Department, had over 90 forms for which I needed to contact people to get the correct or missing information.

I can't believe it.  I know my boss will at least make a side-eye when he sees that part of my timesheet.  But goddammit, how in the hell did a record number of forms -- seriously, I have never had so many forms to deal with in one day in my life -- come in on the 3rd of July?!

Have to level with you now: I am kind of lit.  Once I finally left work, I thought I was entitled to a drink or two.  I downed those drinks at my favorite speakeasy, then went to the arcade around the corner to eat a pizza because I was still hungry.  Hey, my weekend started, and since it started hours later than I thought it should have, fuck it, I made up for lost time!
