Housemate invited a friend over last night, so I come home from my late lab to a kitchen full of drunk people. Had a couple beers, stayed up til midnight, had to get up at 6:30 for yoga.

I am a sack of seething resentment this morning.

I fell asleep on the road on the way into work this morning.

I didn't even get to have any beer.   :sad:

I feel like a bit of a dick.
First, I demoted my assistant-supervisor for good reasons. The dickish bit is that i failed to sufficiently communicate her shortcomings to her on time. I just took all the extra work on myself (why do i use long words in that sentence? I think it is my brain protecting my ego)
Secondly, today i sent a zero-hour-contract worker home (on sickleave) because he has a hernia but keeps coming back to work directly followed by him going home early because his back hurts. He can't function and is destroying his back at the same time, just because he wants to work. The dick part here is that he won't be allowed back here by my boss. I stand behind my decision though, it is best for everyone.

If it's any consolation, you'll probably deal with much, much worse if you stay in management roles.

Yes, I'm fine.  The Force was my guide.  Didn't even leave the road.

I did that earlier, kinda wishing I'd done it now instead.

Got my first overnight shift since 2011 tomorrow evening.  So I'm going to be staying up extremely late tonight, so I can get up late tomorrow so I can stay awake for the 12 hours without resorting to extreme measures. I'm thinking some ME3MP platinum runs.  Playing with randoms on Platinum is essentially the ultimate form frustration and anger can take, so I reckon that should keep me going until 7am or so.

Welcome to the joys of management.
I didn't even want the job, it was just that no-one else would accept it for what they were offering (I got and still get payed a lot less than that, yes i know i suck at negotiating) and the big boss wouldn't shut up until i said OK.
Eh, whatever. Before that i was doing the same work but without the title and for even less money.
It still feels different though, for some reason i feel more responsibility.

In other news, i spent the whole 50 minute bike ride home from work pretending I was giving you guys a tour of my city. It was a fun end to an annoying day.
The day was annoying because of one thing: meeting at the end of the day.

That actually sounds like fun. I might have to try that

You should do what my boyfriend did when he got stuck with a management position he didn't want, and just make yourself so incomprehensibly strange that you get "laterally transitioned" back into a tech geek position for the same pay.

He basically didn't finish a sentence for six months, and they decided that he's of more use behind the scenes.

Its midterm for me but oddly only algebra has a midterm. My science classes have 4 throughout the semester. It was just a weird coincidence that im getting three in a row. Im almost afraid of looking at my biotech syllabus in case theres a fourth one before spring break.
