What you don't want to hear when you're pouring the water from the carafe into the coffeemaker in the morning:

glubglubglubglubglub*chink!*

My suffering-from-insomnia brain took a moment to blearily focus, and as I raised the carafe to my face (very nearsighted, no glasses on), I realized there was now a crack running from the lip of the carafe down to the base. So. No coffee for me this morning!

Yes, yes, the bright side (and I am well aware that it is a very bright side, indeed) was that this happened BEFORE there was hot coffee dribbling into the carafe. But, you know, I can't quite get past the whole "no coffee" thing just yet.

Got to work, and then discovered that there was no consensus on the health insurance, so the boss left us e-mails to revisit the process, and oh, in the meantime, this paycheck will have the larger amount taken out, in case that's the way we go. So, yeah, no luxuries like a new carafe in the budget this paycheck.

Then, the clerk-treasurer was passing out our pay stubs (we all have direct deposit), and she wanted everyone to check their information on it, because she has to hand-enter all the numbers at the beginning of the year, and she wanted to be sure she hadn't transposed any numbers. For some reason, this just ticked me way the fuck off, quite ridiculously. And I know it's unreasonable, but it stuck in my craw today- she is payed SO MUCH MORE than I am, but hey, no promises! It might all be crap figures set down by monkeys! Get out yer previous pay stubs, and the strong light and magnifying glass (very lousy printer for her Official State of Ohio Payroll Computer Program) and see if you can figure it out!

You know, I think I blame the "no coffee" for everything today.

Except for the fact that the schedule for this week has me on my feet for a "Rover 1" shift four hours a day every day except tomorrow, when I'm only "Rover 2" for five hours. That I blame on the people doing the schedule.
