There's not enough bitching

[Anastasia]

Yeah, it's tough. I'm just a few months removed from a long-ass job hunt. It's murderous.

[Dracos]

* Dracos is still a fan of Salary, even though he sees the abuses.

I'd rather know I have X money each month then run into surprises there.

[Arakawa]

Not sure why, but I'm getting the vague sense of being haunted by Brian. If so, it is the most polite and reassuring haunting I have ever experienced, but normally I like to get through my day without having to question the ontological and metaphysical status of major experiences, along with my grip on reality.

I guess the question would be Why me? but that's actually fairly simple: in a sincere but in-hindsight-painfully-ironic choice of words, just a few days ago, I told him offhand that he'd be welcome to haunt me anytime, if it came to that. If the result is a product of my unconscious mind, my unconscious mind takes things curiously literally.

[Arakawa]

And effectively de-haunted. I think talking about this with people rather than stewing within myself was the right choice. :-/

[Rezantis]

You'd be shocked how often that is the right choice.  I find that talking to people is a good way to get my thoughts in order.

Notably, I have a bad habit of doing the "YOU'RE A GENIUS" thing halfway through the conversation.

[Dracos]

Humans, like most other primates, are social animals.  While many of us do very well with low levels of interaction and are overwhelmed by high levels, it doesn't change that some level of interacting helps.

Glad you got a chance to talk about it.  We all hit grief in different ways, but none of us are alone in it.

[VySaika]

Bouncing back and forth between doing okay and barely functional the last few days. alternating between the two at the drop of a hat without any warning. Massive depressive episode is incoming, and it's like standing there watching a storm roll in when you have no way of getting out of the rain. Like "yup, this is gonna suck. Wonder how long it'll last this time?"

[Kaldrak]

So the gods have apparently decided that in addition to recovering from pneumonia last week I would now be afflicted by some horrible stomach virus. Spent yesterday puking into a bucket and I've lost another two days worth of work I can't afford to lose. I wonder what I did to piss them off? >_<

[Anastasia]

Hang in there, Gate. It'll get better with time.

Speaking of that, I got the flu and then stomach flu combo around Christmas. I feel for you, that sucked beyond belief.

[Dracos]

Getting ambushed by someone who wanted to vent about how much he hates the tool build system right before gym/lunch.

Missing gym after seriously not being able to politely convince him to write up his own crap for an hour.

Man, so very annoyed @_@

[Dracos]

Getting back into gym after a break hurts.  @_@

*will get running today*

One of these days I'll balance my desire to consume all things with a suitable schedule.

[Dracos]

Girl scout cookies are around.

They are probably delicious still.

*stares at wallet and tries to hold off at a mere five boxes of tasty*

[Anastasia]

Man, I haven't had those in awhile. How much do they run these days?

[Dracos]

Five a box.  And a fist shaking.

*shakes fist*

[DY]

Had a pounding headache all through the night. Went to sleep fine but I started dreaming I had a terrible headache and what do you know, I wake up to a terrible headache.
