Can it get any worse?

At this point, I'm not sure, but it's not been a good couple of days for me. This week has been rough in several spots, mainly on Thursday night when I ended up having to go to University of Maryland Medical Center for a workplace injury to my hand. It wasn't anything - I slammed my fingers into a metal doorknob by accident - but they made it into this huge deal. I ended up spending 3 1/2 hours in the ER down there, and I never did get seen at all. I walked out at 11:30pm, cursing up a storm and saying "Fuck this, I'm going home."

Trust me, the University of Maryland Medical Center is not the place you want to be seen for an emergency room case.

I ended up not getting home until 1:30 in the morning, and then I had to turn around and get right back up at 6am for work. Because I assure you, once they found out that everything was okay, they were like, "Sorry, hon, but we neeed you." (Insert whining tone of voice here.) Uh-huh, you need me, but you don't need 3/4 of the rest of the staff that don't do any work in the first place over the week, right?

I managed to get through my first week of classes okay, but I'm still nervous, as I know this is just the beginning of the workload. I'm not looking forward to week 2.

I'm more or less just trying to keep myself afloat right now. I wish that I could relax, but that's not going to be possible for a while.

I did get a 1200 dollar check from UMUC as a student refund, though. Shame that I think it belongs to the gubmint, because I sure can use that money to pay off some stuff. We'll see.

It's almost 5am, and I should be asleep, but... sigh, there's so much on my mind right now and I'm so tired mentally. I wanted to go do laundry (yes, at this hour) but the pathway is just way too dark for me to navigate it with a basket. I'll have to wait until daylight, and that'll be in a couple of hours, but... somehow I don't think I'm going to last that long. Sunday usually isn't a great day for me, anyway, as I spend most of it recovering from the rest of the week - which means sleeping.

I have an outfit for Monday if I absolutely need to use it, but... I just prefer all of my work clothes clean at the same time. Just a quirk of mine.

Anyway... I guess I'll try to get some shuteye. Tomorrow starts June, which means it'll officially be summer and therefore the hot-assed weather begins. MEH.
