Monday, Monday
Today has been one of those days where everything that can go wrong has. Chapin took the day off to run errands and take care of some stuff we need and he was blocked at every turn. What a waste! He doesn’t get paid for days off so the fact that he hasn’t accomplished much just really adds to the frustration.
In the meantime, my boss is on my back and my irritable mood isn’t helping me get back on his good side. I’m hiding in a conference room at lunch because if I stay at my desk all of the attorneys suddenly come out of their offices and give me work, scheduled lunch hour or not. I can even have food and law books spread out in front of me and they still want me to drop it all and do whatever they need ASAP (usually something that involves going into their office or across the building for supplies or something — of course it’s never anything that will allow me to actually finish eating!). Can I just go back to bed and wake up on the other side tomorrow?!? 
The most important appointment Chapin has today is this afternoon at USCIS to find out WTF is going on with his citizenship application. Hopefully tonight I can put up another post saying that mid-day was the turnaround point and that it was only good news from hereon out. Pretty please?

People do the same thing to me at lunch. I want to say, “Um…hello? Do you see food here? GO AWAY!”
