I mean…no one I can very professionally discuss my work concerns with. Professionally. 😏

Ugh. Pretty much everyone I work with is either offsite or not working today and I have no one to bitch to. 😫

Not me googling how to professionally say “That’s not my problem” first thing on Tuesday morning…😐

Stop scrolling and post 2 characters that bring you happiness.

THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE RAIN

Today was a royally stupid day. Had to deal with one of our most difficult bosses, and then, in a totally unrelated matter, I got handed a flaming bag of do-do 20 minutes before quitting time. I hate today.

8:30 am meetings should be banned. I said what I said.

I swear, my close work colleagues are pretty much the only thing getting me through every day.

Smell ya later, February. I’m more than done with you. 😏

I have been waking up with this one single thought every day.

The level of mental and emotional exhaustion I’m feeling right now I haven’t experienced in a very long time.

Welp, I just wrote to my city councillor for the first time ever. Not sure that it’s going to do anything, but it feels better to do SOMETHING.

I feel like I can’t handle one more piece of bad news - the world, my province, and my city are all going to hell. It’s getting harder and harder to hang on to any shred of optimism or hope.

Hooboy. There’s not enough coffee in the world to deal with the level of cranky I’m experiencing today.

Insomnia is the dumbest thing ever invented.

Stepped outside at 5:50 pm and it wasn’t pitch-black. There was also something about the light that said “spring is on the way.”

The amount of time in my day that’s just spent composing emails is astonishing. Honestly some days it feels like that’s all I do.

Late night last night means this morning I’m headache-y and grouchy and NOT in the mood for BS. Pray for my coworkers. 🤣

It doesn’t matter how many times I speak in meetings with ALLLLL the big bosses, I always walk away feeling like a dumbass. 🤨

Happy to report that it was just indeed too much coffee. 😬😬😬

Playing the game this afternoon of “Is this nausea because I’m coming down with something, or did I just drink too much coffee this morning?” A tale as old as time.

Onsite operations are shut down but us WFH folks are just carrying on as usual. It’s fine, I get it, but to make today feel a little like a treat for me I’m working from my bed this morning. AND I’m having a cookie for breakfast.

My motivation levels are at an all-time low today. I really just want to lay in bed with a book and some snacks and forget everything else.

Made it through my first week back after the holidays. Whew.

It’s @halfcupofawesome.bsky.social ‘s birthday todaaaaay!!!

There certainly are worse ways to spend the first day back at work after the holidays. 😍

Someone tell me why I have 124 emails waiting for me when everyone was supposed to be off for almost the same amount of time that I was… 😒

That moment on Christmas vacation when work thoughts invade my brain. 🤨

My first Christmas without my mum hurts a lot more than I thought it would. 💔

I sprang for some nice wrapping paper at Winners and THERE’S NO LINES ON THE BACK! 😡

Wrapping Christmas gifts and I have to say I’m feeling pretty good about the amount of local businesses we were able to support this year. ❤️

I’m officially off until January 5th and I could weep with relief.

Dove full in on an email this morning and totally confused myself (and likely the recipient). Yeesh. That’s what I get for answering emails pre-coffee.

I miss the 90s when you read or heard news without being bombarded with the thoughts and opinions of hundreds of people that you don’t give a crap about. I’d like to just be able to sit with news and information and form my own thoughts and feelings, thanks.

Two days is never enough weekend.

I just spent an hour composing an email and I think after all the foolishness today has brought at work I deserve a nap.

I have a massage booked for the end of the day and that’s honestly all I can think about. I can’t wait to be pummelled.

My inbox is currently an absolute mess. There’s too much going on and too many emails flying around. Almost responded to an email that was dealt with yesterday. 😒

Went for a lunchtime rage walk and came back to TEN new emails. 😒

Not even 10:30 and I’ve fantasized about rage-quitting three times already. Will I survive the next three weeks?

Busted out the electric blanket for working at my desk.

Welp. Logged in this morning after being off work for almost two weeks…287 email messages. Guess I’d better get to it. 😅

Back to work tomorrow after almost 2 full weeks off. I was supposed to go back today but needed another day of recovery from 10 days with my husband’s family. Honestly I could probably use another few days. 😬

We leave tomorrow for vacation and holy shit I still have A LOT to do. 😬

…right on cue…🙄

I am going to lay in bed for a *Very Long Time tomorrow. *Probably 8:30, tops.

I have chronic pain - mostly neck & upper back (though it crops up elsewhere occasionally). I realized at a recent massage that at least part of it is likely because my body is almost never relaxed. I’m always tensing & engaging muscles no matter what, like I’m constantly poised for action.

Oh hello there Anxiety-for-no-reason, haven’t heard from you in while. 🙄
