FREEEDOM!
I got out of work today and was greeted by party poppers. Still being very, very stressed I kept flinching as they went off. We then went to dinner.
Then i left the resurant and suddenly the stress left. And i started talking. and talking. and talking. I was going very fast and not being very coherent. Trying to stop made it worse. I've only done that once before and that when i was looking after both of my grandparents when they came out of hospital and was almost completely isolated from the rest of humanity for 5 weeks. This wasn't as bad as that. But the after-effects were similar.
I havn't been this happy in AGES! And tired, so very very tired. You have no idea.
My boss is back next week so i'm going into hibernation. Also i'll give into this cold i've had for a week.
Also looking back i did ok. I got a lot of work out with very few people who all worked like champions so long as i kept them away from the case of evil. And that got me in trouble later when the clients rang back and it turned out it was due that day and man that was a bad day... distracted from the topic.
When i'm stressed i become snappish and mean. So i'm really quite proud of myself that i didn't make someone angry enough to refuse to work with me until week 6, and that person was in auckland and we never meet anyway. Thats pretty good.
Remember, when people tell you it's ok to stress out at them THEY DON'T MEAN IT. I think she overreacted a little but heck, so did I. We were both overworked and very very stressed and it was really just one big powder keg waiting to blow. Of course i was the one who blew first so i'm the one who got in trouble with the big boss "Maybe we should send you on a communication course" Well maybe you shouldn't take time i really need with pointless meetings, leave me in a position where i'm regualary working till nine at night and stress me till i can't sleep. That might help. Oh and break every promise you gave me when i agreed to this job.
I was quite mad about it but now i feel better. And annoyed at my self for blowing becasue that'll leave a bad impression on everyone. In a small office it takes ages for those sorts of things to blow over. My feeling are hurt, her feelings are hurt. It sucks.
In other news my cat has decided she really loves being brushed. When i stop brushing her the claws come out so she cand hold my hand in place with the brush and she can brush herself. Adorable, yet painful.
