Sometimes It Doesn't Take Much to Distract Me
I was all prepared to come here and rant, rave, scream and vent about my lack of understanding of the human brain and how it works in other people . . . when I decided to take a quick look at Wil Wheaton's blog first. The result: Hypnowil completely demolished any thought I had and had me laughing instead. At least for a moment.
I still need to vent . . . really, it's more like taking a moment to 'lick my wounds' as it were. I took a chance on helping out a housemate get some work at the same place I'm at - I've spent the past week talking and laid the groundwork with both my boss and with the housemate - and it came back to bite me in that the housemate has decided not to move on it. There are reasons and they've been explained, but it still makes it difficult for me. Ugh. I've learned perceptions and impressions are everything to people and they're also the things that I completely suck at giving as well as receiving and as much as I think my boss will understand and not hold it against me, there's still that sliver of doubt that hangs around.
Other things are going on, too . . . at best, I can say I'm hanging on, but not by much. Decisions are never easy - that's pretty much what it boils down to.
