So here's what happened

Thanks so much for all of the comments and good thoughts.  I think they helped!

The reader's digest version of what happened is this:  Right in the middle of this HUGE project both my departments are spending hours upon hours of overtime working on, one of them got fired yesterday.  I honestly can't blame the company for doing it, although it's extremely unfortunate for the girl who got fired.  As well as for myself since I'm shortstaffed until they can find a replacement, which will probably be a few weeks, and my other two employees since their jobs are being turned upside-down to provide coverage.  My departments were understaffed as it was, and this just pushes us over the edge.  Now nobody can get sick or take a day off because the Hag (remember her?) refuses to "share" any of her employees, a handful of which are trained to cover us.

It's just a big fat mess.  Oh yeah, and I found out today that starting the 31st they're changing who I'm reporting to.  Again.  This would be boss number 3 in as many years.  Neat.

But like I said, your thoughts and prayers must have helped because I'm in a surprisingly good mood now. Even though I'm exhausted, and even though the Hag was being a hag to me all day, and even though another annoying coworker tried (quite unsuccessfully) to throw me under the bus this afternoon, I'm feeling good.  Like, confident even.  It's been a long time since I felt confident at work.  That's not enough to make me want to stay for any longer than I have to, but hopefully it will last long enough to get me through the worst.

And now - it's a three day weekend!  And it's supposed to be sunny and 80 degrees all weekend!  And I'm going to enjoy every last minute of it while pretending my job doesn't exist!
