Wanted: A Strong Cuppa Joe

Man. I worked till 2 am last night. Things in the office have just been crazy, with one person out on maternity leave, one new person joining and one temp staff that has to be trained but can't be because the relevant person is on maternity leave. So guess who's had to answer most of the questions and handle most of the requests??

Not that I want to be sexist, but now I really do understand the case for not hiring females because maternity leave really throws a spanner into the works especially if there's not a proper handover. Plus, there's some issues that you can't leave to a temp to handle which means other people in the office have to take on additional responsibilities.

Me so sleepy now... And in case you were wondering, no I didn't dream of CTG last night. Boohoo.

If it's any consolation, I was in the office till 430am on Monday. And then I went home, slept for 2 hours, and was back in the office by 9am.

Hmm... No, it doesn't help. Plus, you get days off!

Actually, I don't get a day off for that. =(
