I'm amazed at what politicians will say to make themselves be better than the other person. I really wish we could have people in office that were LEADERS and not just another lobster climbing up the back of someone else to try and get out of the pot that they put themselves into.

Oh hells yes. I may have very little respect for and faith in the Republican politicians I know of, but that is not to say that my level of those things for the Democratic politicians I know of is much higher, really. It seems like most politicians end up all messy and corrupted, but it also seems our system is set up to force it that way, in a lot of ways. And, there's the whole "who WANTS to run for office? Ew..." thought of a lot of the people with those personalities start out kinda ick. (Obvi there are others who have strong morals and plans and are do-gooders and what have you, but...)

Campaign finance reform, yo.

Hrm, my mother can burn soup. Cass, i wonder if you are somehow related?

No morning shift this morning? Mom is only slightly crazy this morning. I think I am going to head home tonight because I haven't had to take any of the heavy meds.

I'm kind of awake. I should probably get more awake, since I've got work I need to do today.

thinking calm thoughts fayward and have been since last night

I knew I was forgetting something. Peaceful thoughts headed Fay's way.

I want to make clear I don't hate Republicans, both my parents are (although Mom is more of a liberal republican) and SLNRLBF is also a life long Republican and he's been involved in state and local politics. He's also a more fiscally conservative socially progressive Republican.

Um, I am not at work. I had a bad day yesterday and I bit of a panic attack this morning, I need a day to regroup and figure out how to deal with a mess I've gotten myself in at work.

A lot of messes. It's like a perfect storm of me being sick for 3 months, being given responbilities I'm not qualified for and don't have training for, me not realizing stuff had to be done, and then procrastinating because I was panicking. And I realized yesterday it's putting me into thought patterns I haven't had in a long time.

I decided i needed a day to figure out a plan for tomorrow and have a break from it. So I'm breaking from it and then I'm going to work on what I'm going to say to my boss tomorrow.

I'm glad you haven't had too much pain, sj.

askye, it sounds like you have made a good plan for yourself. I hope it helps you get a handle on your work situation.
