I'm copying JJ, and made up a new type of training to describe my day.
8:00 am: Driving along on the highway at 60 mph, just about to exit, when the car to my left decides to be in the same spot as me. WHAM! Broadsided on the driver's door. Fortunately we were both OK, but my car was severly damaged. Whole side of car is either dented, bent or scraped. Can't open the driver's door, but can eventually finish the drive to work.
11:30 am: Boss calls an emergency team meeting to announce to the staff that we have been reorganized (basically, the department is cut in half). I've known this was coming for a few weeks, but I had to talk to/reassure my staff that our jobs would continue as is, despite other changes, etc. I don't really believe it, but I have to put on a good face.
2:00 pm: drop my car off at the body shop. The mechanic asks if I have thought about looking for a new car, since they will probably write this one off as totaled (it's a '97). Great; I wasn't planning to go car shopping and spend thousands of dollars this week.
4:00 Boss calls me in to tell me he has resigned. He can't live with the reorganization, doesn't like the new management, thinks there will be more changes coming. Great; I have inherited his workload, in the midst of a reorganization.
6:00 pm: time to start drinking heavily.
