OK, having to face Monday morning work on 4 and a half hours sleep (when I usually have like 7) is soooooooo not cool 
My charming neighbours in the apartment above me thought it might be nice to do some hammering and general banging around at 12.30am. As far as I could tell, I'd JUST slipped off into sleep when it started, and of course it woke me up and kept me awake until after 1am I think. I don't sleep well through noise at the best of times, and I was feeling anxious anyways, I don't sleep well when anxious, so the fact that I'd gone to sleep at all was amazing. Only to be cruelly woken up!
That awful woman, my new boss, starts officially today. So of course, I spent most of last night dreading the thought of work anways, but to have to face it now on minimal sleep. Ugh. I'm such a wuss. Everyone at work who has seen her so far, thinks she looks scary *giggle* and they're all interested to see how things are going to work between she and I...cos of course I told them the lovely story, because it's a character showing exercise on her part. I don't want them thinking she's all lovely and nice when I know for fact she has a different side to that. She's been in and out for the past couple of weeks, a day here, half day there kind of thing, but officially starts full time today. One time when she came in last week, she happened to come through my area (the loading bay) and I barely got a greeting from her. So she must remember what she said to me all those years ago. Maybe she feels guilty. Yeh right. I just kind of thought, for someone that I know, and have worked with before, she might have at least smiled and asked how things were, you know? That too much to ask? It's not like we're fucking strangers. Maybe I read too much into it. I'm just dead scared of her. lol. GRRRRR how dare she intimidate me and not even know it!! Sometimes thats worse! God. How on earth am I going to manage?! I know it's easy to say, just go to work, keep my head down and get on with things, but that's easier said than done. ANd I have to deal directly with her, I have no line manager buffer between she and I like the other staff do.
Oh well. It will be interesting. I know we are stuck with her though. Even if she fails as a Store Manager (this is her first time running an entire store), she won't be taken away, because the guy above her put her there and he thinks she's just great. So we're stuck with her! It looks like I'll finally be leaving...................

So, stuck with a new psycho boss. I'm sorry, but ya know, I've never had a situation quite that sucky. I don't have a solution, just sympathy.
I ended up staying home last week because I couldn't sleep. Of course I've followed that with some kind of stomach virus
