I'm cold, and depressed, and feeling like I just can't be bothered
I thought sure this week I'd get back to my daily morning workouts, but lo and behold my boss wanted me in early today. His course is over as of next week, so I guess I can be a team player a little while longer, but jeez... I'm getting a little sick of the expectation. There is no mandatory overtime here. And if I were to say I wanted to take classes in the middle of the day, he'd be the first to point out that mine is a 9 to 5 job.

And it's cold here in the office. I've contacted facilities, but here I sit w/ my hoodie AND my jacket on and I'm FREEZING.

And I'm worried about sis and her leg. I'm not sure what she has decided about whether to try to save a leg that won't work the way her life needs it to, or to just lose the leg and get whatever mobility she can from the prosthetic. I'm trying not to have an opinion about this because my sense is that whatever she decides is what I'm going to need to help her get through. My opinion would only be about me and we're not dealing with me, so... I'm trying not to have an opinion. (Tell me... how does one go about not having an opinion?)

And I read the entire book of Chinese poetry last night for my assignment today and I don't at all understand it. I have to write a 2 page letter to the author and I don't even know where to begin. Assignment is due at 7:30 tonight.

And my 19 year old is behaving like a jackass. I'm very tempted to find myself a nice little one bedroom apartment and leave him to his own devices.


So... how is YOUR day?

(I'd say "end of rant" but I'm not sure I'm ready to be done ranting...)

3. My day is wet and gloomy...
:hug: I'm sorry MissM. Sounds like you've got a lot on your plate. My only advice with your sister is to keep repeating the mantra "I'm here to support her" to yourself when the going gets tough.

And I hope to hell you didn't get that ass anything for "Boss's Day". :hug: :hug: :hug:

4. I've got a book of Chinese Philosphy, and I'm lost.
If you figure out the poetry, maybe you can drop me a clue. :)

I'm sorry about the stress and the deadlines. Feel free to keep ranting. I'm a willing audience. :hug:

6. Day is going great! I'm realizing that my days with my company are
numbered. My project is dead, nobody checks up on me anymore for anything. I could leave right now and not get noticed I bet.

Already have been sending my resumes out because of being burned out, but yeah. Looks like will need to be actively fishing instead of trolling like I have been :)
