[brane] Here we go again
Hey folks.
Starting off another week. I should just resolve myself to the fact that weeks start badly, and not get taken by surprise when things go WHEEEEEEEEsplat.
Things were bound to start a bit offish, I suppose. I spent a lot of Sunday stressing about singing in public, but the wedding gig went pretty well and I loosened up eventually. Unfortunately, that meant running on not much sleep today, nor could I face breakfast (I'm turning into a lightweight in my middle age) and my dancing muscles were a bit creaky as well. So, having gotten off to a cracking start I wasn't really equipped to deal with work's various pitfalls.
Work
I'm still expecting to get dumped out of my Team Leader role at the end of the month, however the Powers Wot Be won't confirm it. This is annoying, given that they steeled me for the news frickin weeks ago. It's kinda hard to stay invested in a role when you're expecting it to be pulled out from under you, you know? People. Gah. I'm wondering if I pulled my phone out of the wall, how long it would take the bosses to notice? Just a thought.
Play
I made it back to the gym today despite all my moaning. I wasn't quite up to my usual standard, but I stuck with it and then walked up the hill to the train. Am feeling better for the experience, and I know I'll be a bit more level headed tomorrow as well.

There has been a certain amount of that. Singing is good for the soul, however frustrating I find [tendency] and the ongoing drama of [significant thing]. I'll try to stick with it and not get too overwrought by [group]'s opinion or the possibility that I'm just a [reprehensible thing]. I promise.
Improv got more interesting last week. A few new people turned up, a couple of the less impressed people went "oh hell no" and stayed away and the resultant group was much more fun. Most of the group came to pub afterwards, which is the most important a very important part of group bonding and all that. These people will be fun to hang out with, and worth the late night travelling.
Home
naturalredhead and I are still waiting to hear whether she will be sent away for work or not. The anticipivalence makes me anxious (shut up, that's totally a word) - I'd rather know and be sad than be stuck in a holding pattern, at least we could start getting ready... I promise to try and still be social if I get stuck on my own again.
... and that's it, I think. Head down for the rest of the week. See choral folk tomorrow night for hugs, hopefully.
