Teppy, I'm sorry. You have every right to not be doing well today, and anyone who tells you to just get over it is an ass. I will however repeat that you are awesome, and any future employer will be lucky to have you.
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

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.
Teppy, you are in a situation that sucks. It is perfectly natural to not be doing all that well at least some of the time. I'm sorry it is so rough for you, though.

Aw, Steph. I hope the day gets better.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
People who tell you to get over it, need to get over themselves. Having something as significant as your JOB change is no small thing and they need to, as they say at Grace Bros, "Shutcher cake 'ole".

Aren't employment changes in the 6 biggest stressors an adult can experience. It isn't a hangnail. I think it is right before moving, but after death of a loved one.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Steph, you are doing amazing! If anyone tells you what you are going thru is easy, they are an ignorant asshole. Is there anyone at work you could talk with? Y'all are going thru the same stress. Maybe a little group therapy?

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Steph, listen to us, not everyone else. We're right.
askye, apartment~ma to you.
NH company wants me to come up on the 22nd. The 22nd-24th are going to be tough because someone is out on vacation, and I won't get the time off approved. Argh. Potential company is looking at other days, but I don't want to come off as difficult.

Congratuwelldone, PC. I'm excited for you.
By the way, 'I've wanted to ask you out since we first met a long time ago' is _super_ romantic. I do believe I sighed reading that.
Aw Steph. I'm sorry. And join you on the not doing well bench.
I, too, slept like rubbish and am in a lot of pain, so my day is bad so far. Plus, some work agita. Ergh.
This shoulder of mine is really, truly plaguing me.
My bff told me to take 2 Aleve every 12 hours for at least 7 days. This is what worked for her when an ortho prescribed it to get over a bad muscle strain. I've been giving it a go, and thought it was working. Not so much today.
So annoying.
And this, after two really _good_ days, makes today feel even worse.
Good ~ma to all who need it.

And how could I forget? P-C, that's great! I'm excited for you.
Urgh, how do I do this without setting off alarm bells at work? I'm using the doctor's appointment excuse because they're going to want a reason.
