You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Although nothing horrible is happening at my job, I am feeling horribly burnt out and have been for a while. I'm home sickish this afternoon, ostensibly because I took a fall and tweaked my back the other day. But to be honest, I was just looking for an excuse to go home and do nothing. I need to figure out how to get my groove back. I'm on a couple of projects that are going well and that I'm enjoying, but at the same time... bleah. I put in some insane-o hours last year, and was able to do so with little problem. The past several months, not so much.
I'm wondering if part of the problem is that it feels like everything is changing all the damned time. I'm also starting to get a little tired of being the team 'help desk,' and I need to put the brakes on certain expectations.
In short, I'm in a foul mood and feeling like wretch because I'm not jumping up and down for having a good job that I (in theory) enjoy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's rough, Anne. A bad situation is still bad even if it is embedded in a basically good situation. I hope setting the brakes, etc., improves things.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Anne, you are allowed to feel what you feel. {{{{Anne}}}} It is good to be thankful to have a job, but being thankful isn't always the same as jumping up and down with glee. Burn out can be a form of depression, and I wonder if it is possible that there is a seasonal component to how low you feel right now.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Sophia, thank you for posting the Zenni Optical site! My glasses are always so damn expensive I go way longer than I should between prescription changes.
Anne, I feel for you. I'm going through something similar. Basically I like my job, but I worked insan-o hours the last eight months, and now I just can't get my head into it anymore. Serious case of burn-out.

You know what doesn't get old? Writing letters to my U.S. Senators on various issues and getting replies from Sen. Franken which essentially say ITA.
You MA-istas have my sympathies.

Our wings are not tired.
Anne, completely understandable. And I hearby command you to do nothing but pet Jeeves, eat bon bons, and watch dvds the rest of the day.
I've got a work post brewing for weeks, but never type it up. But yeah, I feel ya.
ETA: awww, shit, Beth.
