Dealing with work.

This has been a weird week. I have been going in early and staying late.. my second decided to take his vacation this week.
No reason stated..just asked for the rest of the week off.
I have a task that has been given me..and I feel I won't get it done in the proper time.. so i am staying late to figure it out.
I have equipment to install....get configured..make work..I have a limited drawing to follow.. this connects to that..then this other..but I have to design how it all goes in. I have to fit in to how we have everything else..
There are new style connectors.. new tools to install them..and I found a broken blade in the stripping tool.
I already ruined 2 of the special connectors..
I spent 2 hours rerouting cables and making new ones.. I have found other problems..that need to be corrected..before I start adding to it.
Without my second. .I have no one to help figure out the right way to wire this up..no one to help figure out what is already there to reuse ..it's all on me.
This is just getting it assembled.. the actual programming and configuration comes next.
All that and the regular day to day stuff that needs attention...that pulls me away..still needs to be done.

I wonder if I am being tested to see if I can do this all by myself..
Or if plans to find another job.. since he is always thinking he is about to be fired.. not by me..by those above me.

No matter..I have to get this done..
As well as some other important tasks that will be problems if the weather turns..

The tasks have not let up.. one then the next and another that has to be done in the next 5 hours.. which requires research to complete..time I do not have..
Tomorrow I will ring out cables to find out if they go where I need them to.. and maybe try configuring the circuit cards..and get some components programmed..
Work..work..work..

All that means..is today was a 12 hour day..yesterday was a 13 hour day.. the day before also a 12 hour day with no lunch..
All that and no overtime.
That means late dinner..and no time to do much at home..cook and dishes.. fun.

So here I am.. working towards a mini tour tee shirt..
I need to destress for a minute...so I can go home to my bed and try to sleep..to get up and do it again..

I have been told..there will be no pay increases this year..
So I have that to look forward to. . I need to find out when I can take the rest of my vacation time..if I can figure out what I am gonna do..
Maybe early November. .or December.. maybe just stay home and clean and renovate.

Me.. really don't exist at this point..I remember to pay my bills before they are late.. get up for work each day..and cook dinner.
And get some sleep to do it again.

I did find a minute to ask if the position in Connecticut is still open..
Yes it is.. but I didn't get any more info..no questions.. so I didnt say anymore.. I was hoping for.. do you know someone interested...
And I could go from there.. or even..its an issue..this is why..
But nothing. So I will need to look for another way to apply..

Just more of the same..

Work..work..
Still .
