Brushfire Days

I've learned in management that some days are just brushfire days. I know I haven't been in management that long (not quite a year yet) but I've observed other people, too. Today was one of those days - when every time you get started on one thing you end up with something else interrupting. Shelves that were delivered to the wrong building (that are replacement shelves for the wrong items that were shipped to us originally...), 14 yellow jackets in the library, security system technician in to work on our cameras, 44 oz of diet cranberry grapefruit drink spilled on the passenger seat of my car at lunchtime (and I was looking forward to drinking it, too), register tape that ran out, a front door that wouldn't lock, kids whose behavior required that we ask them to leave, beer cans in the parking lot, disgusting food in the fridge, dishes in the sink. I'm not sure quite what I got done... Certainly not my AV order! Tomorrow I'll do that and continue to prep the library for the internal event tomorrow and the publicity event on Thursday.
With all that going on at work, I got home too late to do laundry and homework tonight... Maybe I'll take a load along for tomorrow - Becky will let me do it while we watch Buffy.
