Been a While...
It has been so long since my last update... Oops~ Just feels so quiet around here now that everyone has trickled away to different places/things.
Anyways... A lot has happened in the last while that I didn't post. Stress level has been steadily increasing and my body didn't want to cooperate with me. Seriously, I have never felt so uncomfortable with myself as I did at the beginning of the week. I had really bad cramps to the point where I couldn't sleep. It was a constant source of pain too - hurt when I sit, when I stand, even more so when I lie down. It felt like I was going to die ~__~;; I missed two days of work because of it and went to see the doctor. Thankfully, he said it wasn't anything major - like appendicitis. Instead, he said it was probably due to the complications of being female... Go figure.
Work has been... Yup, my source of stress. With the economy as it is, the amount of work has dropped (as expected), meaning we've all been stretched to cover what work there is. I've been left in my main lab while my coworker got pulled to work on a different project. The thing is that the work we do is never consistent in terms of the type of testing. Every client wants a different set of tests done and there's so much prep work before hand. Just thinking of all the different directions you get pulled stresses me out.
On top of all that, my friends in a different department had a bombshell dropped on them a week or two ago. Basically, their department is getting cut in half... Or more... It doesn't affect me directly, but it will because their group is one of the clients for mine. Ugh... And I know a few people in that department, so it'll be sad to see them go away - whichever ones that do.
For the most part, I've been keeping myself busy with reading. I don't know what it is, but I've been steadily re-reading all my previous original stories. Maybe, just a way to keep in touch with the writing aspect since I'm not actually writing anything at the moment. I know... I have uncompleted stories to work on, both posted and unposted. But it's really hard to focus when so much uncertainty is going on around you. Not to mention, just coming home pooped out because work is such a bother. It's busy, yet not busy enough to drive me over the deep end, but all the external factors to think about add to it >__<;;
