Had a lot of trouble waking up this morning, as I couldn't get to sleep the night before. One of the problems with resting and relaxing during the weekend is that you have trouble getting to sleep when you need to, so you don't get enough sleep the night before. Apart from all that I managed to get ready and dressed on time and made it to the bus stop. I wont go into how my new MP3 player is awesome again, but it definitely has put a change to listening to music while I am on my way to work.
Once I got into work there was a lot of things to do this morning, especially with a lot of errors which have been popping up as of late which we have no control over. What we use to do was if it was a small error we'd fix them ourselves with not that much of a fuss, but as of late we now have to report every error and now cannot touch any of the invoices until they are fixed. But it causes a lot more work on our end and can lead to some people not being paid. So you have to weight things up and decide which is best.
Later in the morning I was told by a friend of mine that she officially had resigned today. I knew it was coming, as she had been telling me all of the previous week what she was thinking of doing. I was concerned for her as the stress of everything that was happening was not only getting to her but to a lot of other people as well. So it's no wonder that a lot of people have been leaving as of late. If I hadn't been made redundant I would be very concerned about what is going on as well.
At about lunch time she came to visit my desk to hand me a very early birthday present. I was confused at first as my birthday isn't for a month away. Which I then realised that she wont be here in a months time, as she'd be leaving next week. I said thanks and she had to hurry off. It was an owl doorstop as well as an owl card. I didn't take a photo of a card because it has personal words within it. But she had put some awesome drawings in there of stuff we've done together, and stuff that we've both experience within the past 2 years of knowing each other through work. It's one of the best cards I have ever - and most likely will EVER - receive. It put a huge smile on my face and constantly made me giggle at remembering everything that we've been through. A couple of people came up to me to see what was going on and they saw the owl.
I ended up going to lunch with Gloria and my head was filled with invoices that were driving me a little nuts, so it was a good thing to go outside and have my head cleared. When I got back to work I had received a message from a friend of mine that she was upset with my that I had disclosed something that she told me in confidence to a couple of people. I felt really bad and apologised that I had done so. But from the conversation that we had earlier in the day I had thought that everyone had known and that it was out in the open. I felt really really bad. I have this horrible trait of mine, even though I've been told it's a great trait to have. I can't lie... I mean I can joke about and pretend. But I end up laughing and saying 'I got you.' But to lie to someone in their face can't do it. I can't even say 'It's none of your business' or 'I rather not say.' It gets me into so much trouble a lot of the times, especially like today, and I end up kicking myself that I what I say can hurt someone. So it was fair enough that she was really cross at me and I felt horrible through out the day.
The rest of the working day went pretty well, apart from the fact that I felt like crap for upsetting a friend of mine and betraying their trust. So I was very glad that it was home time, but I also had an appointment in the afternoon which I stopped for. So I ended up getting home later than I usually would when I finished work. I started to message my friend that I made upset, to see if there was anyway that I could help with things, and try and repair any of the damage that I done. I ended up talking things out with her, and she seemed to be ok. But I couldn't get rid of the feeling that I had made a mess of things.
I then ended up making myself a coffee and sitting down to watch another of 'The Big Fat Quiz' and heading off to bed.
