Eresterday

I have come to understand why the college I work indirectly for has scheduled its graduation the same weekend as Mothers Day: Because this timing allows them to schedule midterms so they fall the week before Spring Break. As for the scheduling of Spring Break, I have another theory: I'm fairly certain it's scheduled so that it always falls on St. Patrick's day, possibly in the hopes that at least some of the college student population will do their drinking in a town that is not either the one I live in or the one I work in. And I suppose that I can even accept that some Proms will be scheduled that same weekend for reasons beyond my ken.

However, that in no way means I have to be happy about it.

(The workload for our annual Mothers Day Champagne Brunch and prep work for an extra busy weekend are bad enough on their own, but together? Ugh. Ugh ugh ugh. It certainly didn't help that we changed the dessert menu earlier in the week, which I hope will never, ever coincide with this particular weekend schedule again. And if we do happen to do it again, then please let us adequately prepare the number of desserts my boss thinks we'll need enough in advance so that I don't have to take a break to stress-cry in the middle of the day. I hate doing that.)

Anyway, I survived another year, and while I spent yesterday doing too much stuff to properly relax after that whole mess (and worked today), at least I have the next two days off and can sleep all the way through them if I so choose.
