Ugh
Work is getting to be a real pain in the ass. Not complicated or hard.. just a pain. I have here.. no less than 20 emails and 8 logged phone calls where this ONE SINGLE document was either the only subject, main subject or in 2 or 3 cases, only mentioned.

This ONE SINGLE document held up the "go live" date for an entire company. When it came down to a game of chicken of who was going to fill out and fax the document, the people just wanted to call and give us the info over the phone. When we said we needed the paper.. almost in retaliation, we had to wait another week for it. just a freakin peice of paper... GaWd!

Another company has a department that opposed the purchase of our software. That department has put up so many roadblocks and have complained so much, that as I write this, my boss is in there APOLOGIZING for miscommunications... even though it was their fault for dragging their feet and not absorbing/acting on the information I provided for them.


hehehe other than this bit of work crap, things are going well.. I had an interesting weekend... practically bared my soul and all my disfunctions to someone... argh... difficult and scary. It didn't seem to affect anything.. that makes things 10x better. I still don't feel better about my disfunctions, but aside from him accepting them, I got help sorting through them.. and now I'm trying to keep my chin up and a stiff upper lip and start moving in what seems to be a logical and practical direction... no matter how elementary or fundamental these first steps seem... :-/

Is it really only Tuesday? meh

I have no idea what you do for work. In fact, your posts are usually pretty vague about everything! Secret Agent Jesse, tackling mysteries and adventures. I hope this adventure with this 'someone' you mention keeps moving in a direction that's good for you... I love it when I find people who are honest with me, about myself - one of my coworkers told me I can be "socially annoying" the other day, and yet it was part of a compliment. Anyway. How did this turn out to be about me?

Sometimes it's good to bare your soul like that. Of course you absolutely have to be careful who you do it to. That type of thing has always been very cathartic for me - sounds like it was for you, too. Good :)

And, my dear, everyone has dysfunctions. Everyone is peculiar in some way. That's why I like you - I like your quirks - they and you make me smile!

Have faith that whatever you do, it's the right thing to do. Have faith that you CAN make the right decisions. I've found that if you have faith that you can do things right, that faith will drive you to make the right decisions. Sorta a chicken-n-egg thing. It's when the self-doubt kicks in that you start confusing yourself and might make a mis-step. And don't kick yourself too hard if you do make a mistake. Learn from it, see what you did wrong, and make the right decision to change it.

Anyway, I worry about you - but only cuz I don't get to see or talk to you much. But when I get updates, I know that you're okay. Ups & downs, just like the rest of us, but generally you're okay. And always doing better every year I've known you :)

Lurk3r is right, self-doubt is a killer. Knowing you're scared and doing it anyway is (usually) a good thing, though!

That is rather childish, they should have just sent it out immediately but people can be really lazy at times I suppose. Thankfully you at least got it in paw. =^_^=
