Hi. I realize that I'm currently way behind on 1 email conversation, barely sputtering on another, being completely random on a third, and probably making a handful of people wonder where the heck I am. Please understand that Work Drama Saga III is currently in progress, and that as a result, I've gone spinning off in another direction. Besides starting massive raiding on iTunes (Dare, as mentioned previous, as well as albums by BT, 4 Strings, and Psyche) and rocking out (people who have known me for a while might have seen my shut-up-brain-via-very-loud-music theorem before), I'm also delving into the alcohol - and this is in fact the first time I've ever had to do so, in particular so that I can get a night's sleep. I also feel right now like I'm bouncing off the walls and about to collapse asleep at any moment - something like the experience of being at a club way too late at night, except I've never actually done that.

I'm sick of dealing with people. I burned through my patience and tact reserves last month, and have not had a chance to get them back. I'm boiling over at work. This is not a good time for me to be having conversations on touchy topics.

I do hate that half my posts sounds like pleas for sympathy and cookies. While I need sympathy and cookies, sometimes I just want my real life to shut up so the rest of me can get a word in edgewise. I'm mostly okay. Work is highly frustrating and forecast to not get better for quite a while, but I'm trying to adapt.

Sugar-almond, fyi. Very yummy and mellow.
