Feeling like shit

[vanillafluffy]

Saturday was...odd. I detoured to Fashion Bug before work to see if they still had a dress I'd been fancying. No, but who should I bump into but AI. Brief tandem shopping followed.

Work...nobody too horrible, but I found out that my A/C angel had been fired on Wednesday. Exchanged email addys with a couple folks "just in case". My last call of the night---and possibly my career, who knows?---was fittingly from Trendicrap. I say fittingly, because I know full well that I've handled more calls for them than anyone else. Driving home, I kept wondering if I was ever going to have to do that long midnight drive again.

Sunday...church featured a special guest appearance from ang5fam and an interesting talk on personal safety by StormValkrie. She also gave me a brief but blissful backrub. Later at SUPPER club, she and AI and CapeGypsy elected themselves my party organizers. Local f'list may be getting email invites, so keep an eye out.

It's going to be tea-partyish, and the theme is "I Feel Pretty"...which can mean whatever you want it to mean. Whatever makes YOU feel pretty---your "good" jewelery, the outfit you got for that "special" occasion and haven't worn since, a hair experiment, sparkly nail polish---just because I'm contemplating a new hat for the occasion, doesn't compel you to don one, although you're certainly welcome to.

Today I've been out of it...queasy, back and forth to the can, took an afternoon nap and still feel icky. And my bedroom door has decided to sag on the bottom hinge, and I've got it roughly knocked back together, but hurt my shoulder doing it.

I have tomorrow off and go in early Wednesday, where I will either have Posh Brits training, or get hauled into HR. At this point, I'm hoping for HR. I'm over all this run-around, and I want to get off the merry-go-round for a while. I'm so knotted up with stress, it's no wonder I'm always stiff and sore.

Haven't done shopping yet or fully gassed up the car, because if I don't have to worry about running back and forth to Melbourne, what's in there will last me for a while. And if I'm not going to work every day, I can stock something other than canned soup.

I just want this over with....

I'm thinking positive thoughts that it all works out well -- whichever way it goes.

I appreciate that, thanks. I'm ready to do something with more normal hours...I miss being off-kilter with my friends' schedules and I'm really tired of the 50-mile round-trip commute. Fingers crossed that they aren't pricks and try to deny me benefits, as happened with my last job.

Sending positive wishes to you!

Thanks. Mentally, I've already washed my hands of the place---to mix a metaphor!---and I'm looking forward to a bit of a rest before I go on to the next thing, whatever that is.

It's a damn poor situation when you kinda hope you get fired from a job. *sigh* If this one goes under, is there anything on the horizon that you could apply for? Something closer to home and with more regular hours? Yeah, yeah I know...dream on. Whatever happens though, I'm saying a little prayer for you.

There are several possibilities. I just really hope that getting away from all this stress will help me physically, because the last couple of months have been increasingly miserable.

Thanks for the good mojo, I need all the help I can get!

I am not feeling all too well, either. Vehicle slipped out of gear and managed to drag me down the driveway before I could get off- I had leaned in to turn off key--NEVER do this! I am very banged and bruised but nothing broken. Just hard to walk.
Did over $3K worth of damage to our vehicle as it took out the mailbox and a small tree before it came to rest on neighbor's palm tree.
When it rains, it pours!!!

Oh dear! I'm glad you weren't badly hurt. I had a similar incident once with a vehicle on the hill at my house---except luckily, the truck wasn't damaged---thank God, because it was borrowed. It was raining, and when I leaped for the truck to try to stop it, my feet went out from under me and I landed flat on my back---I hit my left elbow on a paver and it puffed up and bruised impressively, but the mud cushioned the rest of my landing. I suggest warm showers and tylenol to help with the soreness....
