Have you ever had a day at work where the time just flew by?

Yeah, neither have I.

Since my brother is staying with me, I've been going into work late and leaving early. By going in late I mean 8:30, and by leaving early I mean 5ish.

My brother thinks that I am "batshit insane" (that's a quote from him) for normally getting to work at 5:30 every morning. I don't completely disagree, working 90+ hour weeks is very batshit insane.

Remember that plan I had to take it easy and get grounded again? It has officially been scrapped. I physically can't do it. I feel like I am going to go insane from the boredom. I've worked everyday this week, and I am behind. Since 8:30 is an acceptable start time, in the mindset of my brother, that is the time we get to work.

I am up, dressed, and already have 3 cups of coffee in me by 5:05. I am still on the schedule of getting to work at 5:30. I start doing whatever work I can do at home right then. I wait until 8:05 and if he isn't down, and ready by then...I leave. He has found that out TWICE in the 5 days.

When I finally get to work, I feel like I am behind. When I show up at 5:30 I get a ton of stuff done. I am completely alone until about 7:30, when the managers show up, and it is just us until about 8:30 when everybody else starts to show up.

In those 3 hours I could get so much done because I didn't have people getting in my way or asking me questions. Without those three hours I feel like I am playing catch-up call day long.

Today alone I had a meeting with dumb and dumber about them getting fired, because they are upset and "considering legal action" because they believe that they were treated unfairly, I had some town officials show up because we have to get everything inspected before we can go onto the next step, I had to have a "discussion" with a manager about his work ethic, I had to take about a bajillion phone calls, among various other mind numbingly pathetic tasks.

I didn't even get a lunch because I was so behind with the stuff I had to get done.
