I'm feeling a little better but also exhausted. I am headed to bed now for hopefully a very good night's sleep. I hope everyone here sleeps well tonight too.

ETA: Thanks to the people who posted about their problems with BCPs. I'm sorry I didn't respond to you all individually, but it is nice to know I am not alone.

Is he willing to give lessons? Teacup Guy just doesn't know what to do with me right now, and I just feel awful because I know how bad I am being but it's like I am watching myself from the hall and can't stop myself.

Just announcing the situation can be helpful. "Look, I'm in a mood right now where I'm getting way more pissed off than is reasonable. We need to talk about things tomorrow, because tonight it's just not going to work."

Nope. Didn't work. "But, why? What can you do about it? Is it this? Is it that?" Don't get me wrong, he is so very wonderful and he really means well, but he doesn't get it, and I don't think we have been together long enough for him to have figured all of this out yet. Especially since, in the past when I was this bad we weren't living together so I would just stay away for a few days.

Really, bed now.

{{TCG & SJ}} I hope you have a nice weekend.

Happy Woody Anniversay Jess & DH! heeheeheeheehee

Damn. Zito had a no-no through 7. Lost that in the 8th. Lost the shutout in the 9th. Oy. And yet...his 100th win as an Oakland Athletic. Only the fourth pitcher to do that after Catfish Hunter, Vida Blue and Dave Stewart.

Is anyone around? I'm having a major freakout about something that happened at work today (discovered a co-worker's mistake, which part of me feels I should have caught earlier, and that is going to cause me even more work when I don't have time to deal with it.)

I'm here.

Yo.

Heya. Glad someone's around. Anyhow, right before I leave for the day, I discover that the document a co-worker gave me to edit and publish a few weeks back was the wrong document. In other words, she was working on an older version, and it didn't have some legally mandated changes incorporated into it. It's a training manual, and I discover the error when I'm comparing the teacher's notes (which I'm now editing) to it.

Part of me is thinking that it is her responsibility to make sure the changes were in there. The other part of me thinks I should have known to check, especially since this co-worker has been known to screw up before.

Yeah, rationally, I know that only a some of the responsibility rests on me, but I'm still freaking out. I'm exhausted, but can't fall asleep. This is too reminiscent of some situations from my old job. I'm also not looking forward to doing the cleanup on this project, as I'm already strapped for time.

I get the sleepless stress thing. But, really, ultimately, you aren't responsible for doing someone else's job.
