Seems to be the same with folks who say “no drama.”
It was such a hard thing for me to learn how to apply to myself and situations. It’s like when you (general, not you specifically @HaH) accidentally mess up someone’s name or pronouns and are corrected. If you continue to trip over yourself apologizing and saying things like “I’m working on it,” then you’re making it about you and drawing out the unpleasant interaction.
On my first day back at work after 6 weeks off, I discovered brand new video cameras in every office plus the showroom. Awesome. No more forum-ing at work!
Eczema.
I burned two fingers on my dominant hand on the stove. Now I have to keep ice on it or paaaaaiiinnn. Typing with my just left hand is hard. I also injured myself this morning. I scratched my own face while half-asleep and trying to get my hair out of my eyes. I’m like P!nk; a hazard to myself.
I think that’s because you need a month of “sleeping in” to recover.
I know you know that and it sucks. Also I saw something I bought was palm oil free and it made me think of you and how I have made progress with palm oil free things because you brought it up and talked about your own efforts to reduce it.
Yep, my brain immediately went to that one friend who made a big to-do about how he wanted his party to be drama free and when he said that during party prep everyone quietly had the same thought “But you’re here already so that can’t happen.” Thankfully that was like 10+ years ago and he’s better now!
I really really need a shower. I’m supposed to get one before bed, but the last time I got kind of clean was 4 days ago and no hair washing
I would like the team feeding into me to do their jobs. Most of them do, but a couple…it’s not like I’m asking for anything unusual or quickly or whatever, I get that everyone is under a lot of stress and no one is producing like normal, but when they have (for example) 10 items to do before I can start my job, doing all 10 (hell, even 8 or 9 at this point) would be nice. Instead I’m getting 2-3 maybe and they’re very confused why I’m not happy with that. So far their manager’s response is “Did you tell them to do items 3-10?” when this is literally their job and the newest person on the team has been there for three years.
Again, I don’t even care about the timeline at this point…I just need them to actually be done when they’re sending out annoucements because I’m sick of having to be the one to go back to upper management and tell them what so-and-so said in their annoucement is bullshit and I’m still blocked (generally I say it more politely than that, but my ability to be polite is falling off quickly).
I just really don’t wanna today.
Lets not.
I didn’t yesterday and it was marvelous. Highly recommend.
Very high wind. Woke up to red splattered all over my patio. After a brief moment of panic worrying someone threw a dead animal onto my patio, I realized the “animal” was a bag and the red was hummingbird liquid from an upstairs neighbor. Took me all of the baby’s first nap to tote water out and scrub stuff down.
Weird tiny victory though, I took my plants in last night because I was worried about the wind. Otherwise, they would have all been doused.
I haven’t worked in six weeks. I think I forgot how. I’m only here for half a day too, it really shouldn’t be this hard to get back in the groove! It was tough being home for the first few weeks, but then I started getting used to it.
My right shoulder doesn’t work today. Turns out right shoulders are involved in a lot of tasks.
I first became aware it was hurting while I was still dreaming. That was weird.
Snow in the forecast.
I knew the tank top comment was a trap!
In summer they’re called tank tops and in winter they’re undershirts. Either way I’m always wearing one.
My jaw is all swollen on one side. Best guess? Infected salivary gland. This is stupid and annoying. It’s a little tender to the touch but no pain, but I look absurd.
MUMPS
Is what my brains likes to say when I get inflammation within about 10cm of my parotids
my brain definitely did the same.
MUMPS MY MMR ISNT WORKING ANYMORE CLEARLY MUMPS AND IM A DANGER TO MY BABY. Ahem.
