Weekend!

[theodosia]

I just wanted to say 'Thank you' for all the great questions from earlier today. I really do forget that not everyone here has known me for all that long or caught every little fact I've let drop about myself.

This has been one hell of a week -- on top of the weekend trip, there was all my sturm und drang, as well as the release of three major applications at work, all of which needed some major work as unexpected wrinkles of working with the real data revealed them. So I was hopping there... but at least that made the week go faster.

Also, we began the summer hours program, which is where in addition for working longer hours during the weekly period, we can get alternate Fridays off. I decided to give it a try this year, although working an extra hour a day may start to wear... we'll see. On the other hand? Lots more three day weekends? Maybe I won't be so exhausted as to not enjoy those.

Ooh, three day weekends sound loverly! So, how is the sturm, anyway? And the drang? Better, I hope?

Also, just because I know you'd be the person to understand, for no reason I could think of, I had the song from the (Word I can never remember)Ride episode of dS--"Can't keep horsemen in a cage" on endless repeat in my head yesterday. Usually I can backtrack and find a trigger--yesterday, not so much. But as an earworm? Much better than most.

That would be "All the Queen's Horses" one of the second season highlights, IHMO. Featuring a trainful of Mounties who not only simultaneously fall asleep when they are gassed, but they all wake up mid-song when it wears off.

It makes me grin just to think about it. One of the many reasons I love that show so much.

Making the decision to seek help seems to have eased off a lot of angst, I guess it's the hope that things =could= actually get better, though I'm pretty fuzzy on the details of actually how. Maybe my confidence is all misplaced, but maybe not.

I feel so badly that you are going thru Sturm and Drang. Wish I could help in some way. Still, you do know that you are very special.

As for work, it has often been a series of hiccups, which you solve. A person I once knew said "that is why they call it work".

Off to work I go. Proctoring wanna be teacher tests today.

Thanks, Marty!

Work was frustrating in the sense of too much being thrown at us, and some of it was very tricky programming, too. I'd have been more on an even keel if it had happened in a better week emotionally-wise. But these things happen!

Hope the proctoring is unexciting yet not too boring for you!

I wrote up a long reply, then realized I could put it in my own topic, so I did. But it actually your reply.

Huggies.
