winding down?

what happened to this being the end of the year? when things are supposed to be slowing down, and mellowing out? work has just been getting crazier as the holiday season goes on! the week before Christmas was horrific, and this week, even though only four days long, has had enough drama in it to suffice for a seven day week and has been actually worse than last week, if it were possible.. random acts of mindless sabotage, unfortunate machine breakdowns, frayed and short tempers, frustrating lack of communication between shifts.. i saw it all this week, and with one night yet to go i'm just about to collapse dead
