There's the age old antidote that sharing secrets or burdens will free the soul. That somehow by sharing information we feel a sense of relief or release. I shared something today that I have shared with very very few people... I do not feel relief from sharing it. In fact putting it into words is just about as terrifying as staring a dragon in the ( Read more... )

Ultimately, we are alone. We may have 200 friends and be close to our family members, but when it all comes down to it we are alone. We are the ones who have to decide to get up when we've fallen flat on our face. We are the ones who have to decide when and what to change ( Read more... )

I was actually getting my hopes up and starting to naively think that maybe my job won't end when CRM spreads through the company I work for. Yesterday I got the distinct feeling I was wrong. That if all things go according to plan for the company then I will probably be out of a job in April some time ( Read more... )

This morning was ridiculous. One of the project managers emailed my co-worker, who is on vacation (as of yesterday), to open a job for him. For starters, he belongs to the group I handle. Always has. For another thing he didn't even have the PIS which is required in order to open a job ( Read more... )

Today was another bad day at work. We've been crazy busy since January and it's not getting any better. I'm behind on folders because I've had at -least- double my usual amount of PIS to input. And then today one of the senior project managers has the nerve to say "Well, by the time I get the green folder I've already started my own folder." And ( Read more... )

I've been keeping pretty busy. There were even days where I barely sent more than 2 text messages, or bothered with Twitter or Facebook. I don't really sit down in front of a computer anymore, at least not outside of work ( Read more... )

This is a busy week. Last night was supposed to be my relax and get ready for the week night, but instead I went out for sushi with some friends. Then after we went to Demetre's for dessert. It was great, but now I feel more stressed about this week ( Read more... )

This week wasn't quite as brutal as I thought it would be. I guess my interest and excitement for baking is neutralizing my exhaustedness. The funny thing is I'll get home from class, get ready for bed and then once in bed I have a hard time falling asleep. I've already learned from past experiences that if I feel stressed about sleep I won't fall ( Read more... )

I'm very excited to be doing my baking course finally. I look forward to the classes, but it's a bit bittersweet. It's intimidating. Not the class, or the work or the students... it's the time. Class starts at 6:30pm and ends around 10:30 then I have to travel home to get to bed right away. I'm worried it's going to be too much. But I also don't ( Read more... )
