hm....

 

Because an apple a day keeps them away.

 

Like garlic and vampires.

I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone.  Every time I refresh the forum, I have lost an hour...I have no idea how that happened.  I didn't even do the sleep blink.  Feels like Crazy Land today already.

Feeling better today. I've been so exhausted the last few days but unable to sleep. I went out to the city today just to do something and got some energy back when I got home. Every day is a new day.

~~~~~

I need to go out for a bit and re-energize myself.  A city walk sounds like plan...or maybe a walk on the island.

OK...am I wrong for wanting to be a fly on the wall at whatever @gwen has going on?

Gnat at all! 😉

About to do the day with no sleep. The universe is about to rawdog my brain today just like lastnight 

[creatureofthenyte]

I feel great.

Exhausted and accomplished. Spent Saturday putting together bunk beds for my kids. Then Sunday recovering from it. Never do a project like this by yourself. Hard lesson learned. But the kids absolutely love them.

Trying not to feel bad about blowing off everything today just so I can keep a high score on the Duolingo leaderboard.  I joined a tournament and they had me thinking that it ended as of this past Sunday.  Nope.  Apparently there were 2 weeks of semifinals after the week of qualifying for the tournament and now this week is the Finals.

 

I've been first place on the leaderboard for the past 3 weeks...there is no way I'm not finishing at the top after all of this.  But this had better be the final week of the tournament or else I will................not be getting any sleep as I go for maintaining my first place status until this is all over with.

A bit deflated.

 

Over the years I've had to let people go. It's part of being a manager. Having to let someone go who did nothing wrong, well, that demoralized me.

 

I sat there. Recited the HR text. I watched a good person crumble in front of me. I saw their heart break. Their life come undone in front of my eyes - with no fault of their own.

 

Just a victim of corporate restructuring. 

 

I don't want this anymore.

That sucks, it really does. It's probably one reason why I'm not management. I'm not sure if I even have what's 'looked for' to qualify to be management.

It never gets easy regardless of the reason for the "let go".

I'm sure you fought as hard as you could for them and will be a great reference.

 

Life is change, and it's extremely often that we don't get to choose how it changes.

 

Hey, at least they didn't die on the job or something like that.

 

Sorry, I'm not very good at this moral support shit.

I'm finally on track to take care of things, but it feels like something is holding me back.  It's like I can just barely put my finger on it, but it's just slightly out of reach.

[TronRP]

Feels like I have so much stuff up in the air...now I just need to ground them.  Not my idea of a personal cloud service.  Feels like I'm not managing my time properly for everything that needs to be done.

Feeling like I am about to save a metric fuck ton of money. We found more Chinese smuggled cigarettes in a shipment today. I got 10 cartons. Fuck yeah!

Hope they're not counterfeit, but if they are enjoy your lice I guess.  I just hope they don't have asbestos filters (warning, loud audio):

Like hell. 

[creatureofthenyte]

Okay.

[Slogo]

Still a bit gross but mostly over being sick

[kat (1)]

Some type of way that I wish would stop.

[TronRP]

Feels like today took off and drug me with it dangling by a leash.  I'm smashing into everything and having to handle it on the spot.  However, feels like I have a little downtime at the moment.

[NocteSpiritus]

Like I need a vacation, but I don't have the time for it.

[creatureofthenyte]

I feel that I’ll be going to bed soon.

[TronRP]

Feels like I got in some good rest just now.
