Miss Pissed Off

Well never a truer word has been spoken. This last week has been the most stressful for me for sure. On Monday at work, changes were made that I needed to fix, so I worked late on Tuesday and Wednesday and completed all the amendments. Thursday morning I arrive at work and the powers that be decided they weren't happy with the changes made on Monday and changed everything again. I would need to reamend everything I had fixed. I was beyond pissed off. Plus my partner has been searching for a job or contract work this whole month and we are getting closer and closer to having to pay the rent, but he has no money. I can't plan my birthday trip home at the end of May as we have no financial stability and don't even know how we will get through this next month on my salary alone. On Thursday night I started feeling the bladder infection starting and now I'm on a full course of antibiotics. This has been my angriest week in the last 2 years. It's showing in my body big time.
