deathpixieOkay, back at work after a day off sick yesterday due to Attack Meat. And people wonder why I don't eat the damn stuff. But yeah, back and I even ate today, after nothing but two slices of toast and a cup of tea around four yesterday.
Various friends are having meltdowns of various sorts. This worries and concerns me. And frustrates me, since there's bugger all I can do about it. Except precipitate one. Oh yeah, I'm Sensitive Gal all right...
Work has instituted one of those spy systems that monitors your net usage. Which means brief sneaking on to check email and LJ, and then jumping off again for the rest of the day. Which cuts back on RP time, dammit. This wouldn't be that much of an issue except we still have little to no work to do. Nothing like sitting around pretending to be busy all day to make you feel like a worthwhile and valued employee. Alas poor work ethic, I knew you well.
I wish people would talk about what's bothering them to the source, rather than make pronouncements in locked posts. I'm watching something I enjoy doing apparently going belly up and it sucks.

*hugs* Hang in there, Panda. Miss you like sleep, love you more than chocolate...

Date: 2004-10-07 08:59 pm (UTC)I've seen some v. nice gecko/lizard ones that would go well. And kanji's are always good. I don't have the Japanese interest, though, so I am precluded. Maybe I could get Elvish runes instead. Except Queen of Darkness is probably pretty long in Elvish . . . Yep, dragonfly seems just fine.
And hanging in is happening. Detour to Shaun of the Dead last night helped muchly. And the squeeze is visiting and arrives in the evening on the day I hand my thesis in. Which has changed the thought process from "four weeks to hand in my thesis" to "four weeks til I see squeeze". It's only small, but it really does make a difference in how I feel about the situation.
Ditto for the missing and the loving. I need some mind-melded twin-speak soon after the finishing of thesis . . .

Still going for very small dragonfly tattoo in not publicly obvious part of my body.
