Worst Friday In A While

Today sucks shit.
Normally Fridays are exciting, as in "weee, it's the end of the work week!"
Not so today. I am the only one of my co-workers who showed up today. 3 people are off sick and the fourth is helping at the office down the block. So it is myself and the dude who'd been trained for 2 days by our OTHER TRAINEE.
You can imagine my excitement over this. I also agreed (volunteered) to work tomorrow at the Open House for the new cable store....I was SUPPOSED to go to a meeting about what is expected tomorrow around 10am this morning. Because we are so depleted with staff, I was told I would not be able to attend that meeting. However, at ab0ut 10:05am, I was given a quick 10 minute tutorial on how to use a new program.
So they have time to spare for their meeting, but not the one I need to be in. I am beyond annoyed, I am pissed off. I HATE getting up early.
ANYONE who has EVER known me will testify that I am NOT a morning person. Regardless, I have been working the 7am to 3:30pm shift. Which means I get up at 6 am and am back in bed by 6:30pm. Now that I have given up my Sat afternoon for this stupid open house no one else would do, I now also have to get up early to get there to be briefed on what everyone else was told today. I have to GET UP EARLY on my ALREADY shortened weekend because of my co-workers.
Isn't life just peachy? I get my period last night, (and I take medication because my cramps are so bad) I get locked out of the house because the roomate is oblivious and obsessed with locking the door, I have to get up early, I already feel like shit - discover no one else will be coming in! - and that I now have to get up even earlier than planned to work on my weekend.
I am going to cancel my doctors appointment for tonight because I just want to go home and break things. How come everyone else gets like 3 weeks off for mental health but the person who fantasizes daily about jumping off the bridge into the freezing Yukon River? How does that pan out exactly??? How is it that I can manange to drag my ass in here but no one else can?
This is fucking retarded.
