OK. *deep breath*
So it's Christmas and once again I have vacation time that is going to be completely non-relaxing. I've worked 60 hrs this last week to try to meet impossible deadlines and to set up the office so the boss won't have a melt-down while I'm gone for a week (half of which no one is going to be working anyway). He will probably crack by Wed even with another competent supervisor there and half the office out. He's going to be insane by the time I get back and I'll spend 50 hours (even with the New Years holiday) trying to get things calmed down and back on track. It's almost not worth leaving.
Then I found out why my phone has been extra quiet this week - it was lost. So my frantic brother has been trying to call to coordinate our family trip the parents' house only to leave a gillion messages with no replies. He finally had Dad call to check on me at work on friday - which is when I found out the phone was gone. No guilt or stress there, no sir. I did find the phone Sunday - slid down between the car seat and the seatbelt base. Well Bo & Co changed their plans last minute and I couldn't meet their new timetable so now I have a 10 hour drive on my own whn I'm already sore, sick and miserable.
Sat I was too sick and tired to do the cleaning and packing I needed to do to get ready for my trip - Sunday and today too really - but I must get on the road today or Mom's gonna pitch another guilt fit about me missing another family holiday when I told her I'd be there. The stress just never lets up.
I honestly hate December, and I'm not too fond of January either right this minute.
*grump grump grump*
The bright spot in my day was this: ~_'
The Animal Archetype Test
Your Score: The Coyote
You scored 44% domestic, 33% gregarious, 60% trickster, and 47% intellect!
Wild, Solitary, Emotional Trickster: you are the Coyote!
Coyote is a complex symbol of humor, cunning, and survival. Coyote is often portrayed as the ‘wise fool’, helping people to see the truth in difficult situations. Coyote medicine is often strongly tied to learning to be adaptable, seeing the humor in even the worst situations, and being able to cope with even the toughest things life can throw at you.
This test categorized you based on four different axes of personality, which were then associated with a different animal. The four axes, as well as all possible results are explained below.
Wild/Domestic: This first axis categorizes you based on how much you are drawn to the outdoors, versus how much you are drawn to civilized situations. Domesticity has many shapes and forms, and varies from the joy of dolphins leaping next to a ship to the steadfast loyalty of a family dog.
Gregarious/Solitary: This axis measures how solitary you are. If you scored high, it means that you enjoy the company of other people, while a low score indicates that you prefer a more solitary lifestyle.
Trickster/Serious: This axis measures how well you line up with conventional trickster archetypes. People who fall into this archetype have a sense of humor and an excitable, highly chaotic streak. Scoring low doesn't mean that you don't have a sense of humor; it just means that you probably don't think dynamite is very funny.
Intellectual/Emotional: This last axis determines whether you are more emotional -- acting based on feelings and instinct, or rational and intelectual -- acting more on thought than on your gut feelings.
