Ugh. So ready to flip the table and scream "fuck you all I quit". So goddamn ready. If only I could afford it. Seriously. Because I just got cornered into doing something I did not want to after telling my manager it wouldn't work for me. Because she told someone else I would do it and we can't afford to piss that person off. Im so angry. And me being pissy, exhausted, and ill-prepared is not going to be good but that's what they're going to get!
And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Argh, meara, that's frustrating.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
meara, if it helps, I am right there with you. So ready. I keep asking for help and not getting any, and then getting more work.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh you guys. I hate that just not doing the shit you don't have time to do only reflects poorly on you, too. I mean, on one. In my experience. OK, on me.

Ugh, meara. And Zen. That's awful.
We had an order ship out wrong, for reasons that really truly have nothing to do with me, and the department who is responsible is desperately looking for any other thing to hold against those of us who are just bystanders. Argh. If they'd answered my questions on Friday maybe they wouldn't have as big an audience for this mess.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, meara and Zen, that's exactly the situation my husband is in, and he's so miserable. We cannot both quit our jobs simultaneously, so he's got dibs on it if it gets too bad.

It's amazing the messes that occur when people will just not admit to things. It's my least favorite plot device in stories, as well. I've learned that I get a lot of bonus points if I just come right out and say to a manager "I goofed up and did this, can you help me fix it?"
