it never rains...

Okay, 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.

If its what I think it is, its -not- going belly up if I can bloody well help it.

This is -why- I made that post a few weeks ago all upset. Darnit, if people have problems with things they should say so, so that those problems can be dealt with.

*sigh*

I hope you're feeling better after the stomach goop by the time you get this.

Also, re: meltdowns. YOU didn't precipitate anything. I've been having a meltdown for a while, only I haven't really said anything because I've found it nearly impossible to articulate or talk about. It's just a 'wah! Everything sucks!' feeling. So, not your fault, and please don't feel bad about it. *smile* You could ask viviene_aster, if you wanted to, or mstakenidentity - they've both been trying to help me out a bit.

Also. Dude. You are one of the most sensitive, caring people I know. You're like Mel - you *know* people, you understand them and you care about them. So. *hugs*

Also, your work sucks giant monkey balls.

Well, if it helps any my meltdown is entirely based on the fact that I have WAY too much to do and only just enough time to do it. Aside from the occasional wake in fright at 3am having a panic/stress attack, all is well. And panic/stress shall be entirely alleviated after 4 Nov. So my meltdown is all due to outside influences and fixable in a month, which is nice.

Otherwise - maybe a phone call to someone would help? Maybe they just need a chat and a chance to get their frustrations out? I'd like to ring them, but being in the midst of my own meltdown it seems a bit silly and possibly counter-productive.

I know what you mean, completely. I really don't want to see it go belly-up either, and fingers crossed it won't for a long time - everyone involved will be doing what they can to see to that, at least.
