Oh my God, y'all, I am so cranky this week there are no words. My parents are coming in on Sunday and I have a concert on Saturday, so I'm already feeling like, well, those two days are shot for me to get anything done (and by "anything" I mean everything from doing laundry to cuddling with my cat to cleaning my pigsty of an apartment to sitting around in my underwear eating cereal to writing slash to reading slash to watching or re-watching various media). And seeing as those are the only two days a week I don't have to get up at 6:30, that makes me pretty darn cranky.

Add to that the fact that I had choir Tuesday night, and have to somehow (how? I don't know! It's a wacky crazy crap-shoot of a world!) fit in the time to go see Narnia and Brokeback Mountain before my parents get here (and [livejournal.com profile] maria_kazuar goes home for Christmas), and the fact that at work today is my day for receptionist relief (YAY! I GET TO ANSWER PHONES WHILE THE RECEPTIONIST IS AT LUNCH, AND FROM 3-5PM! THERE IS NOTHING I LOVE MORE THAN ANSWERING PHONES!), and I am having some major teeth-grinding/lockjaw issues, I'm so aggravated.

It is not that I don't love my friends, or my parents, or my choir, or (most aspects of) my job. But I really, really, REE-HEE-HEEELY need time to refuel when stuff like this is going on. I've been known to sleep for 20 hours after having weeks like this, and I'm not even going to have time for that this time around. And I suspect it's going to be taken out in trade, about eight days from now, when I burst into exhausted tears in the middle of an animated discussion with my parents about exactly how gay I suppose I am, or the length of my hair.

I think I'm going to invest in a house I can buy that's hard to get to. Like, at the bottom of the ocean maybe? As long as I can get internet and access the grocery store when I need to, I'm golden.

Ngh. I've been in situations like this before (last was probably in 2003 when I was dealing with Christmas, college graduation, packing up to move out of Las Vegas, and entertaining my visiting parents -- but at least they were staying in a hotel!) Ugh. I think it took me a year to recover. @_@;

I wish I could do something to help out.

Well, I feel a lot better right now because I got a ton of revisions done today on my lunch break, and don't have to cover the 3-5 shift after all. So I'm not as murderous as I was at 8am this morning. Oy!

Can't sleep tonight, either. Bunnies'll eat me. >_>

Oh, I'm soooo glad you don't have to cover that phone shift. When I was working in Hollywood as an intern I used to, on the very rare occasion, have to cover for the receptionist when they all were in a meeting together. OMFG I hated it soooo much. I hate phones as it is but, you know, all I had to do was say "Sorry, they're in a meeting, can I take a message" but HOLLYWOOD TYPES ARE FREAKS. They were so used to hearing, "IMI this is Brandon speaking, how may I direct your call" in the regular receptionists voice that, HEAVEN FORBID when I said "IMI this is Van speaking, how may I direct your call?" they'd freak out and hang up on me.

I guess this is sort of understandable since, presumably, some of the people calling were big wigs who didn't know if I was a crazy creepy stalker or theirs or something, but aRJGALKrhjahrh. It was not helping my self esteem or ability to want to answer the phones. And then half of them were like, "WHAT HAPPENED TO BRANDON?!?!?!?!?!"

Sigh.

Anyway, you need to start in on the coffee. I just finished a big, yummy mug of some Kona mocha that I brought back from Hawai'i with me. Now I'm rip-rarin' to go. Coffee makes not sleeping an option! I dunno how you got through college without it. @_@;;

Haha the thing about coffee and me is that it doesn't make me less tired, it just keeps me from falling asleep. So I end up in that uncomfortable stage where I want to sleep but can't :/. Blah.

I'm FULL of energy now! I want to write more slash! *shuns work*
