I need a do-over.

judecorpMy anxiety level is through the roof today. I need to do something to make it stop, or I'm just going to be a total bear to deal with. Ughness.
I was worried about leaving work early because we only have 2 case managers instead of 3. Well, when I got in at 10, I found out that the other case manager had called off work. So there was just me. And I was only going to be there half the day, because I am still going downtown. There was a list of people who were waiting to see a case manager, and I had solid appointments booked, so I couldn't see them. I tried to walk into the day room to get my clients for their appointments, and there were people yelling at me and shouting and carrying on. One resident actually yelled at me because Andrea didn't come in to work. He asked me if I was going to do his appointment since she was out, and when I said no, he started slamming on a table and shouting at me. So I turned my back on him and walked away.
I was running around trying to see people and get my appointments done, and residents were calling my extension from the resource center, and asking the resource center coordinator to call me, and it was completely horrible. People were banging on the door to case management and hollering. One of my appointments had to go do something, so I held some impromptu open hours before I had to go downtown. I saw a bunch of people, but didn't get to eat lunch. Then I was pretty busy downtown. I came back to 8th for an hour of open hours before leaving for the vet, and people wouldn't let me leave. Every time I went out to bring something to someone, someone else would be shouting at me. And the RA was still letting people sign up. It was just a completely miserable experience.
I was worried I was going to be late getting my cat because it was the end of the day, but that part went okay. And then I had to get gas and it was $1.69. And it's freezing. And it snowed again today. And I'm a big old whiner. And now I have to put ointment in my cat's eye FOUR TIMES A DAY and bring him back for a follow-up. At 8am on Saturday. I'm going to try to reschedule that, because I have the Indigo Girls the night before, and the conference all day on Saturday and Dar Williams that night. Oy.
And I'm not driving Dar to the airport. Or picking her up. But I /do/ get to pick up some dinner for her and Toshi Reagan, and bring it to where they're staying before the concert. Hopefully I won't get so flustered that I drop food on her.
