Seriously? Wow. I mean, I guess I'm a masochist. Okay, I know I'm a masochist, and also avoidant, not to mention that I hate interviewing for jobs.
Yeah, I just e-mailed you with the full story.
I think I do okay with personal stress. I mean, during the days of my Idiot Coworker, I tormented the entire board with tales of her idiocy, but I only cried in my boss' office once, and I never actually threatened ICW personally. But I'm so bad with other people's stress. My husband's deeply unhappy with his job and my parents are worried about the family dog, who may be very ill, and it drives me insane.
A co-worker just told me about Mile High Altanta.
That's totally cheating, isn't it?
Poor you, Dana. Second-hand stress is terrible, because there's so little you can do about it. Good luck to y'all.
you get to keep your sheets as a souvenir of this special event.
This disturbs me. I'm not sure why.
I just gave in and went to a box store and bought oodles of boxes that will be delivered this afternoon.
I also think I am coming down with a cold.
eta: I think it is totally cheating, ita.
This disturbs me. I'm not sure why.
BECAUSE IT'S GROSSSSSS!!!
Ick, ick, ick. I can't butch it up past this one.
BECAUSE IT'S GROSSSSSS!!!
Ah! Yes, I think you've put your finger on it.
I'd go wash my hands.
Oh, Dana - I know it wasn't entirely the point of your post, but I'm sorry it's hard on you now because things are hard on your loved ones. This is so hard - not being able to help people we love who are facing difficulties and being miserable. I hope things will be better for all of you.

(1) Yes, that's totally cheating, and (2) Ew.
