....and because there was nothing much to do, I was chatting to my friends online. It didn't help that the day started off with a rude awakening. The fire alarm happened to go off at Ross this morning to I had to evacuate the building at 8.30am approximately. Having slept at 2am last night, I wasn't to happy about it. The accumulation of late night shifts didn't help either because I was lacking sleep. When security gave the ok, I went back up to resume sleeping. Didn't happen. I couldn't get back to sleep and I had to work from 12pm to 4pm and again at night from 12am to 4am. So fine, to work then.
I was telling my friend how tired I am and what I got in return was that I should take a nap. I already said that I was working. How stupid can one be? Nevermind, to make matters worse, he laughed at me...saying that work was making me crazy. That was the last straw. No one calls me crazy! What is wrong with men? Are they stupid or just plain ignorant? Can't a tired working woman get a break? There's only so much she can deal with; work responsibility, lack of sleep, the responsibility of making sure that there is dinner on the table for 3 others including herself.
I empathize with women who are stuck in the same boat as I am. You are stronger than you think, don't let one person put you down.

"You are stronger than you think, don't let one person put you down."
Yea, I totally agreed with that.
You are stronger than you think, Manda! *smile*
Thanks Hannah for your encouragement...but I believe my crazy schedule will only last for the next week or so. Once I come back from LA, I think I will be fine.
