Hooray for normal heartbeats!
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

shrift, I'm sorry everything is being just too much.
Thanks, Maria.
My manager wants me to set my quarterly goals. My start date in this role was this Monday, so I don't know what my goals should be. We have a meeting later, so I'm going to take a break to clean out my desk and then do some research so I have something prepared.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I feel like something is telling me to reprioritize my life, and stop letting my work consume all my energy and drain all my joy.
Yeah, do that! I'm glad your sister seems to be doing better.

My desk is cleaned out. Next, lunch!
I assumed I knew what my manager wanted re: goals, but it turns out I was wrong and I just have to help with a thing. Totally doable! Ass = me, not u.
I feel like something is telling me to reprioritize my life, and stop letting my work consume all my energy and drain all my joy.
Oh, man. Yeah. Right now I'm totally consumed with this work move, but I'm doing it because I hope the new job will stop my work from being an energy creature. Joy is good. Maybe choose it if you can.

That's a good plan. I need to do something similar. What I need is a job that doesn't feel so pointless, because I feel like the suckiness of my job, and the lack of enthusiasm I have for it, just leaks into the rest of my life.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, my job is not really working for me. It's a big thing.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Yeah, my job is not really working for me. It's a big thing.
Hey, I know this feeling!

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

Lee, Dana! My sisters!
I really just want to travel and see friends and family. And a cool place or two.

Ugh I know that feeling too. Am not at all looking forward to the next two weeks at work, which will be stressful and difficult. I did a couple things wrong and am not happy about that, but feel like I've had so much on my plate that they should be happy about what I have accomplished. I really want to throw my hands up and say "screw you all I'm out" but know that's not a realistic option. Where is my winning lotto ticket?

I am frequently grateful that my job, while perhaps not my ideal, is fine. Fine is pretty good!
