Plans? Hopes? Gripes?
Challenges?

I'm hoping grown people will start acting like
adults and do their job. I know; but they
can't bury their heads forever.
I'm ready to raise the stakes and go to a higher supervisor.

My back is doing better; my wallet is thinner;
emotionally I'm stressed but stable.

      I am basically doing pretty well, though my life has become a roller coaster. I am seeing--and in love with--a man who is BiPolar. Man, is that a hard one to cope with. But, for the most part, I think I'm doing well with it. If I can stay relatively calm through his manic and depressive episodes, I must be getting better!

    Survivor: Yes, that must mean you are on the right path! Someday maybe I, too, can have my very own crazy person to understand me without us self-destructing. I can dream, right?

    Had grad advising today...VERY excited about my classes for next year! My major goal for the week is to finish the mid-term I still have yet to do because I was in the hospital. And also to go to my therapy appointment. First-time appointments are annoying...I dread that "what do you want to work on" question. Wow, EVERYTHING, how am I supposed to narrow that down?? ha.

    I feel you on the thin wallet, Ray. It's no fun.

      I am paying for the great time I had this weekend. Certain substances I abused tend to drain my serotonin, so I'm down this week. Cranky, nasty, sluggish, unmotivated. Nothing particularly bad, though. In fact, I may be moving from Temp to Regular employee (again) at work soon. My feet are hurting quite a bit today, though.

      Worse today. Woke up feeling worthless, unlovable, and that the world is so fucked up there's no point in going on. I wish I didn't have to eat and crap, cause I'd stay in bed forever. I'm not sure how I got out of bed in the first place, much less how I got to work today, but here I am, not interested in doing anything and feeling guilty about being unproductive. So tired of falling for women who aren't interested in me, and women who I'm not interested in trying to get me to spend time with them.

      That last one: a woman I had a crush on 15 years ago has reentered my life and has been asking me out. Unfortunately, that crush wore off years ago, and I just can't find the same level of interest.

        Hi bundt, sorry it is a bad day for you. But you DID get to work which I'm sure was not an easy feat when you're feeling that way!

        15 years? Sounds like this woman really missed out on her chance...I wish people would be a little quicker on the uptake sometimes. I hear you - tired of falling for the wrong people, too.

      Dreamer...
      I feel your pain...
      hang in there...
      "...this, too shall pass..." - ABSOLUTELY!
      ...except for ONE thing...
      you ARE dreaming if you think we here in california will
      pay less taxes anytime in the near (or distant) future!
      ;)
