Not Engaged Yet

This is how I feel...


 

I've been filing and making copies of files for days now....hours and hours on end...seriously- I've been working 12 hours a day...filing.
Pulling files, copying files, making folder labels, sorting files...
Ugh.

It's slowly turning me into a puddle...of paper.

Please show me how you are feeling.

    Sometimes I'm a bit of an insomniac. Last night was the worst its been forever. Probably since freshman year of college. I was 'trying' to sleep starting at midnight and didn't fall asleep until 6am. SIX AM!!! Rrrrr!! And then had to wake up at 7:30. So I'm running on an hour and a half of sleep today. So I was already peeved about that. Then get to my counseling appointment all excited to just vent and talk about me for a while since I am so frickin' crabby from this lack of sleep.... and realize that it's not until 1. Not 10. So, now i get to work on my 25 page paper some more. And skip lunch because I fogot to bring one with me to class and fogot to grab my wallet. I didn't realize I wouldn't have time to run home between classes for lunch because I didn't know my apt was at one. Superb.

    I feel like this... Life has been good lately, but I am inexplicably blah feeling most of the time. And I have so much stress running through my body its hard to sit still. But, I'm too blah to work out. YUCK!


    I'm even wearing a black dress like her... but I feel much fatter than her.

    Lunar, that sounds awful.

    Polkadot, not being able to sleep is the worst feeling ever.  I've suffered from bouts of insomnia myself, it's horrible.  At one point I had an rx for Ambien, I usually get by with drinking some relaxation tea...sometimes I have to take an OTC sleep aid still though.  Hope you get some rest tonight!


    This is how I feel...about a few things.  I need to get some shiit figured out, but I'm so busy I feel like I don't have time to think and get it all figured out right now.

    I'm hoping so too!! I hate taking medicine, so I usually just suffer through it. I have a bunch of herbal stuff and healthy things to take when I can't sleep, but I couldn't find my stash last night. Ah well. :( It is the worst feeling though.

    Liv, that sounds like a tricky situation, but if you're really unhappy then I agree that you need to find some kind of change. I'm really clueless when it comes to applying for a job and all of that, but I hope you find a way to get into the job that you will love.

    I feel

    Nervous:



    and excited:



    I am excited, because I'm going to be buying a new(er) car at the end of the month, so BF and I are doing some preliminary shopping today. We'll be doing test drives to narrow down exactly what might be our best choice. BF is 6'5" so it can be hard to find a car that he can fit in comfortably. I'm also nervous, because I remember the last time I visited a dealership when I was looking for a new car several years ago. I got crappy customer service. The salesmen always tried to up-sell me, and one actually told me I was being difficult just because they didn't have the particular model I was looking for. I'm hoping this time will be a lot more pleasant.

    CCO: Sorry you're stressed, but it sounds like you've got a fun party or two coming up and the holidays hopefully will be  more fun than stress for you! And of course, we're still planning on meeting up in January right? : )

    I'm excited... my wedding shoes are perfect. The rehearsal dinner is coming together. We're meeting with a new rep at our venue on Saturday. I have Friday off for Veteran's Day. The sun is shining. I got FI to agree to start budgeting his/our money. I have my running clothes on and a 3-mile run on the schedule. I have you lovely ladies to talk to.

    Also, I have $5 in my bank account with polkadots name on it. How do I put it on her electronic Starbucks card??

    I had an awful morning at work. I didn't sleep well, and then this jerky guy displayed his awesome bullying jerkish behaviors that I got so mad that I yelled about him to my supervisor (who I think of more as a friend, bad filter moment) and was SO mad that I was sitting at my desk crying (so mad I cry = BAD), that I left work and went home for the day.

    So me earlier:




    And now I've had an hour of knitting therapy, boyfriend made me hot chocolate and listened to me vent, and I'm just drained. I do not often get that angry, but it wipes me out when I do.

    So here I am now, feeling drained, wiped, and bad about getting so upset:

    This is me:



    Before my wedding, I was so busy at work. I was begging for another person to help me out. Well, now everything has slowed way down (and it's partly because product development is cyclical). I have nothing to do right now. They keep adding people above me, so my level of responsibility keeps getting reduced, and I'm being cut out of more and more stuff. You'd think maybe that happened because I was doing a bad job, but if that's the case, no one ever told me.

    I love my engineering team, but I'm frustrated with how we're being managed (or rather, not being managed). I met a new guy this week who's now supposed to work with me. I asked if he knew what he was supposed to be working on, and he didn't know. I don't want to look for a new job, but this is starting to be ridiculous. I just want some direction.

    Also, Liv, keep your chin up. There is definitely nothing wrong with looking, applying for and even interviewing for new jobs. I know what you mean but being indecisive because it might be worse... but you have to have the attitude that it's going to be better. Anything would be better at this point, rather than being unhappy, right? Change is hard, but it can always be for the best!!

    Ugh, Lunar, that sounds mentally exhausting.

    Liv, I say go for it. Life is not for working. Obviously, [most] people need to work to survive but you deserve better.





    This is how I feel, except I'm still on the other side of that damn finish line. I have been so overwhelmed and stressed all semester, I feel like I'm crawling to the end. I'm so close but I have so many more hurdles (research papers, presentations, clinical hours, and exams) that I think I'll metaphorically kiss the ground at the other side when I finish.

    First I would just like to give a huge shout-out and thank you to Lunar, Liv, Bri, Ollie, and anyone else who used HaaH pictures, because it reminded me to check her blog again and at long last - SHE HAS A NEW ONE! It had been since May. I was having withdrawals.

    I am feeling like this -





    I feel generally disgusting to look at, and as though I appear disheveled and cow-like at all times. What's worse is, I seem incapable of doing anything to change it. The more upset I get about it, the more cupcakes I shove into my face. It's less than awesome.

    I have also been especially snarky/feisty this week, and generally ready to throw fisticuffs at the slightest provocation, so I will include this as well -






    And I currently have a bad case of 3:30, so I feel like this...

    Depressed.

    I've been having some very (very) serious bouts of depression lately, to the point where FI is going to make me go to therapy. He has diagnosed depression, and is positive I have it too, so he knows exactly what the signs and symptoms are.

    However, I have discovered that my new favorite band is Florence + the Machine, and it's having a very calming effect on me (I couldn't find a good picture for "calm").
