Sick and Overworked

That should be the title of my life! I have worked 26 hrs in the past 3 days. It's crazy.. and I'm sick of it so I called off today YEAH! Work is fun and I enjoy it don't get me wrong but.. sometimes, especially around holidays like Halloween and Christmas, you begin to wonder why you liked it in the first place. I work with kids, I don't baby-sit or nanny or work at a daycare, although sometimes I feel as if I get to do all of that at once. I work at a photography studio which targets kids under the age of 6yrs. So I work with kids. I love that part, the kids are the best but the parents I could do without. They are the ones who whine the most and the ones who are never satisfied with what you give them so they keep saying 'more, more' like a broken record... I'm a manager so when the other employees get sick of the monotonous tune of 'can't you.. can't you... can't you...' I'm the one they call to knock the record player around till it shuts up. I'm a nice person so I like to be nice to people but sometimes they are just plain annoying and unreasonable! like this one family came in and they wanted to have pictures taken of their family, so I sign them in and tell them that since they didn't have an appointment they may have to wait up to 25 min till we can get them into a camera room 'no problem' she says. So they sit down and wait. After 10 min she comes up to me and says in the most indignant tones ever (that's the other thing, I don't have to take you picture or be nice to you so shut up and sit down) so anyway she comes up to me and says 'we have been waiting almost half an hour now. when will you be ready for us?' OMG is she dumb, like didn't I tell her already that it might take up to 25 min till we could get to her... AND it's only been about 10. There must be a forcefield around our store that makes watches fly, cause I swear no one who comes in can tell time... I don't know why I was telling you that pointless story except to vent. the other day I was sitting just relaxing with my boyfriend and I started daydreaming about work and then I turned to him and said something, (partaining to my dream) .... I think I'm going insane...
and on top of all that I'm sick.. like spitting up blood sick. not cool. so I took off work today cause I'm sick and overworked..
