Yeah what is it about "strong and powerful leaders" that's a turnoff? It reminds me of management seminars like "good to great".
Not much has changed since I replied to the family vacation email with my plan and admittedly vague cry for help. No one suggested I tap into the vacation fund to help aid my transition to the mobile lifestyle.
Spidey hasn't worked since December. He keeps saying he plans to go back but he hasn't called them.
It's the slow season, I haven't had a shift in like ten days and last time I kept getting teary-eyed but I could go polish silver and no one noticed.
Tonight I work at the smaller venue where there aren't really any hiding places. I'm worried someone's going to ask me what's wrong and I don't know what I'm going to say.
Hil, my therapist is in Mt. Auburn, right down the street from Christ Hospital, which is close to campus for you. If you'd like another therapist to check out, I can give you her info.
Thanks, that would be great!
I'm sorry it has been such a difficult time, Laga.
Hil, is your profile email best?
Yeah, profile email is good.
Thanks.
Ugh. I need to go to campus tomorrow to finish up some work that I didn't finish yesterday. I know that, once it gets to tomorrow morning, I'm going to find some way to convince myself that I don't actually need to go in. But I do. Some of this stuff needs my office computer setup. Blah.
As I expected, I wasn't able to convince myself to go to campus today. I rearranged my schedule a bit so that I'll be caught up on everything by Tuesday.
Also, I think I have a perforated eardrum. And, it's kind of nice? My allergies are acting up, but rather than having excruciating pain in my ear, I've just got some itchy fluid in my ear canal. (I'm going to the doctor soon, so I'll have her look at it then.)
If someone is calling you something you really don't want to be called, but it's friendly and innocent and no harm is meant, should you (a) ask them not to and risk seeming petty and hurting their feelings, or (b) shut up and deal with it?
Specifically, people keep calling me lady and I hate it. "Hey lady!" It's cheerful and friendly and it's ridiculous for me to be distressed about it, but I am. My old boss used to call me lady, pop up beside my desk like Beelzebub "Hey lady!", and it was confusing and upsetting but I didn't say anything because she was my boss and also pretty volatile. Then a co-worker did it, then a friend did it, and now one of my best friends just addressed me with "Hey lady!" and I almost cried. I don't know why this bothers me so much.
