Vacations are Great, but Coming Back Sucks

I've been gone a few days.  I took a little vacation for some R&R, and it felt good.  However, when you get back to work, there is always a mound of work waiting for you.  Coming back this time was even worse than normal.  Let me explain:

First, we only have one light in the studio.  The fluorescent lights hurt my eyes and the track lights work best for me.  Second, one of the computers is down.  There's no telling how long that will be out, but last time it took weeks.  That means I can't do lost '70s or any of the other things I do.

Finally, the worst thing that happened was today around 6:20 a.m.  I'm standing out back getting some fresh air.  I feel a tug at my pant leg,  I look down and it's a raccoon tugging at my pant leg.  I FREAKING RACCOON!  It scared the crap out of me.  I didn't know if the thing is rabid or someones pet.  I jumped, scared it off and cussed at it.  I hurried to go back inside and the stupid thing tried to follow me.

That's it.  I understand equipment and lights breaking down, but do I have to fight off Sparky the Ninja Coon too?  I want hazard duty pay.
