'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Gudanov, I really fear that there is NOTHING you can do that would be good enough for your wife, given her emotional problems. If you have high standards for everyone else around you, it's necessary to pitch in -- instead she gets to stew in her anxiety, and lash out instead of taking responsibility for things she wants to see Done Right but won't lift a finger to do herself.

You are enabling her in this behavior.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Oh, God, I hate Skype chat at work. A coworker just texted me "Hello, Tom", and now is taking five minutes to compose his actual question. Just have your question ready BEFORE you text me, Jeez!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My former manager was the worst. You'd just see the note that said she was typing forever and ever. And then it would stop. And then it would start again.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

My coworkers refuse to log into the work instant messenger and instead yell or call for EVERY. SINGLE. QUESTION.

Our wings are not tired.

Ugh, that is the worst, msbelle. Stabbing them seems the only solution.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I've found that I've been more snappish lately than I used to be. How much of that is anxiety, how much is perimenopause and how much is Mr. S, I don't know.

Anxiety and Mr. S alone would be a lot before you brought in perimenopause. I'm worried and anxious for all of you!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Sheryl, I'm asking myself the same questions often.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

We apparently have a "company paid mandatory fun celebration" next month.

It probably actually will be fun, but what a weird phrase.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I think they mean a mandatory company paid fun experience. Maybe

My anxiety is manifesting itself by barfing I think. I have had to take three days off work, but I think it is work.
