Lord yes.  I spent the morning dithering over something because my reaction to my overreaction was possibly too much of an over-overreaction reaction and then maybe my initial reaction wasn't so much of an overreaction as as reasonable reaction except then...  circles.  In the end I was noncommittal and someone else overreacted for me.
I just kept talking myself in and out of myself.
I really picked a poor time to start the new job.  Things are just falling apart around my ears.
