So apparently I'm indispensible...

Or at least apparently I can't actually not be here, since the world collapses, civilisations fall and Purolator goes insane and doesn't do what they've done for me for the past year.

I've been playing clean-up all morning. I foresee a talk from Jane tomorrow about how she's unhappy that she didn't have this week's files ready last week, and she'll be perfectly justified - sick or not, I dropped the ball badly. Vera's been a trooper and grabbed me something to eat, and I've already had one very large Coke this morning.

Yep, welcome back to the world, me. Can I go home again and hide?

Edit: Oh, and I have counselling today, so I'm working through lunch. Sure I can't go home?

And in better, more positive news...

1) Yesterday I went thrift store shopping with [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] for work clothes. I budgeted $80 for the venture. For $81.25, I got the following:

3 pairs of pants

5 skirts

3 shirts

All of which are fabulous and actually look good, because I had the fashionista there and she basically grabbed stuff and made me try it on. Today I'm wearing one of the shirts (blue stripes, very professional looking, and yet also looks good with jeans), and a skirt (dark grey/navy-ish wool with a lighter grey check, about the same length as the Swishy Black Miniskirt (TM) ). I'm also wearing the perfume I got from Lauren for Christmas, because I really needed the boost today and it smells so good.

2) I got approved for a Dead Like Me game I found over on Insane Journal. Whether it actually starts up remains to be seen, but for now, I have my new boy - Andy, the Australian backpacker/hippie type who died in the 1970s after contracting hepatitis B in India, and who has Ben Lee as his face. ;)

3) I spoke to Jane and there was no Disappointment. I do need to go get her files for next week ready tho'.

4) I need coffee.

In brief.

Counselling was had. And was hard, yet productive in the sense scabs were ripped open that needed ripping. Also got called brave. Go me.

I go fall offline and die now. more later.
