busy week

Since my last nights off, I feel as if every time I come into work I just spend eight hours running laps around the plant.
This was my third night in main lab this week, and I complained about how busy I was Wednesday night when I had five FB's and a couple of other plating samples. Thursday night, that was trumped by seven FB's, a receiving and a few transfers. I complained about that, too.
Tonight I had EIGHT receiving samples, two AR's, three FBs, two transfers and three 24 hours. Plus re-checks and regular eight hour checks?
If it had been too busy for someone else to get my plating done, it would not have been physically possible for me to do it myself and leave even remotely on time.

Insanity.

Because it has been so busy, I have been really, really, really crazy and I may or may not have at one point tonight freaked out at #'s 1&2 about a kosher wash certificate to the point where I was kind of embarrassed and thought neither of them would ever want to speak to me again and at another point hid from DK in the blending control room (with #'s 1&2, who apparently had no qualms about speaking to me again) for at least ten minutes because I got air in the lactoscope and I didn't want to show my face until it got fixed.
