They say time heals everything.... I'm still waiting..

I wonder how long it takes.. I'm getting restless.

And on a humorous note: http://xkcd.com/395/ I discovered xkcd in a roundabout way. My first exposure was unrealized, as I saw sumidha's userpic and thought "that's so cute" but didn't really know what it meant. Then Hub showed me a comic strip on a ( Read more... )

xkcd, time heals, humor

My three things daily: yesterday
Knitting circle
Walking
Podcasts
Sunshine
(this is the shortened version)

Name three things that made you happy yesterday. How many can you find?

Hmm... lessee...

- Sunshine - the weather was really nice.
drums her fingers and thinks... yesterday was not a particularly good day.. hmmm...
- I learned about the possibility of a job within walking distance of my home, however I wouldn't feel right about applying as I've only been at my current job for two months. But sometime in the future if/when this contract ends, then I'll have a closer option to look into.
- I like looking at the pictures I've put up on my shelf here at work.

That's about it. Usually I can come up with a long list. I had to struggle to come up with three. :/ Hopefully I will be able to come up with more than three by the end of today. :)

Perhaps someone will smile at you, or you'll make someone laugh and brighten their day. Maybe you'll see something surprising! Anything is possible.

I don't know what's wrong. I'm feeling overly emotional and overly sensitive. I feel like I was chastised about something today, here at work, but another lead assures me I'm not in trouble and I didn't do anything wrong. (Well, technically I did do something wrong, but only after the Boss told me to do so, then a different Boss told me I should not have... I don't do well with conflicting Bosses...)

There are a bunch of things that are 'up', that I've shelved to be dealt with later, as there's not much I can do about them right now.. so maybe that's part of it. Plus I'm feeling isolated at work since they put me on the new contract. The social aspect of work was apparently more important than I had thought. I literally am off by myself, whereas normally, most people have others sitting around them that they can at least say hello to, or ask questions of or whatever.

I think I've been able to maintain a decent mood appearance, but not up to my normal standards. A friend keeps asking if I'm ok, so I'm more subdued.. but trying.

Hormones do strange things to us. I've had days like that, too. One day my boss just yelled at me for a tax return that I had done. Evidently the people lied to me and then told the boss that it was me pushing them into a situation. I didn't, and the boss didn't even tell me what it was about (it took me a while to figure out who and what was going on) and I just wanted to cry. Before that, I had thought she was a friend and lucky to have a boss like that. After this incident, I didn't feel so bad at quitting to work in the book department. She was mad at me for quitting, but I could have told her I didn't deserve to be yelled at for something I didn't do. I deserve better treatment. But I didn't. I let her go ahead and be angry. I figured if she didn't remember it and how she treated me, then I could make her feel better being the bad guy. I haven't felt bad about the job change. They treat me well where I am. But I was about ready to cry that day she yelled at me.

I find it -really- difficult to get yelled at or treated poorly by someone I had thought was a friend. I hear you on that one, definitely.

I'm glad you like where you work now. :)
