Stressful Work day

Today was really stressful at work. It was Nadine's birthday, and so she took a half day off. She was supposed to be in the switchboard room, so all the calls got transferred to me. I also had to make appointments for the people who walked in and stood in front of me. I had to ask the people in person to wait while I answered phone calls. Since I've never worked in the switchboard room, I didn't know a lot of the extensions. The phone lists I get didn't really help either. They didn't say what the main number for the department was, just the people who worked there. So I had to send people random calls all over. I didn't like doing it, but when Daisy was gone from the desk I had no other choice. Luckily tomorrow Nadine will be back, and I will only have to cover her for lunch, and not for the whole day. I'm also going to try and go in early tomorrow (9am) because I need to start getting used to waking up early if I want to have a job there. I know it's going to be hard, but I know I can do it. I can do it when I go see my therapist, so I can do it for work.
I talked to my boss today and asked him to find a position for me. He said that there might be something coming up, but he didn't want to give me any information on it. There was a job open that was part time, but it was at a satellite clinic. I want to work at the main one since I can walk there. I don't want to have to take the bus to work and back. The bus that runs in front of my house only runs once an hour, so getting anywhere is a pain. Plus, I would have to wake up even earlier to get there. That's one thing that sucks about not having a car. Even if we did have a car, Geo wouldn't be able to drive me to work. He sleeps in the mornings since he can't sleep at night. I can't drive because they think I might have epilepsy. I get blackouts sometimes, not to mention the hallucinations. It's just safer with me in the passenger seat and not in the drivers.
I got mad at Geo last night. He ate my fiber bars which I had bought for me, with my money (not with our shared food stamps) because I've been having stomach problems. They are like medicine to me, and he eats them like they were candy bars. He ate 2 of them, and 1 disappeared. He swore he only ate two, but 3 are gone. I asked him about that, but he swore he didn't, so I believe him. I just don't know what happened to it. Anyways, last night I was so mad at him I couldn't sleep. I just lay in bed, thinking about how mad I was that he ate my food when he had plenty of his own food. I can't have anything to myself that tastes good or else he will eat it. It sucks living with a food addict. I'm still a bit annoyed about it, as I'm sure you can tell from this journal, but I'm trying to get over it. I can't stay mad at him for long.
Mood today was pretty good, despite the stress from work. I was so tired from work, I came home and took a short nap. I slept for like 20 minutes. I just needed a refresher, since I didn't sleep well last night. I'm going to try and go to sleep when this is done so I can get enough sleep tonight and wake up early tomorrow. I set my alarm for 8:30, which should be enough for me to get ready and get to work by 9. I hope Geo is still sleeping when I get up... he hasn't been sleeping well lately, and I want him to get a good night's sleep. Or should I say, a good morning's sleep. Daisy isn't going to be at the desk tomorrow, so she wants me to come in early to help out whoever is at the desk. She doesn't know who it is going to be yet.
Food today was bad. I was over my calories. I think it's because I ate a full can of beans for lunch. I had black beans and sour cream for lunch and it was great. They had seafood gumbo at the cafeteria which I really wanted to get, but I was good and ate the lunch I brought. I'm going to try and bring my lunch tomorrow if I can. Tomorrow is “Wellness Wednesday” in the cafeteria, so they are supposed to have healthy stuff. Last time, though, they had beef liver and some sort of chicken. I thought that they would have more salads and stuff. Still, I will see what they have tomorrow. I'm going to try and stay until at least 2, and then go home and nap. Hopefully I can get into that pattern- go to work early, come home and nap, and then cook dinner like normal. I will just have to see how it goes.
