I screwed something up at work last evening, and I didn't get any sleep at all last night. I was half worried that I would get fired in the morning. I was also worrying that I'm subconsciously trying to get myself fired. The support call at 6:00am from someone who needed my help with a system in Toronto that I don't have access to didn't help my anxiety either.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, ugh, Tom. I have those "I messed up and I'm going to be fired for it" insomniac nights all the time, and they're miserable.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh god, that is the worst.

Because books.
I actually got fired just this morning, from a freelance gig. Which I hated and continually procrastinated on, so I'm probably better off, but maybe I got fired for you, Tom.
I really hope my new meds start working soon. Even though I'm just starting them today.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Couldn't stay in bed past 5, with a pounding headache. I tried, I valiantly tried. So I think I'll be working from home again today. Which is good, because I have a shitload of commitments to another department to knock through.
It's just bad because it hurts like a bitch.
eta: Okay, okay, people. STOP GETTING FIRED OR FEELING LIKE IT'S COMING

Oh jeez, Amy. I'm sorry, even if you are probably better off, that sucks. I hope your new meds kick in soon, too.
Aw, Tom. I know that feeling, and I hate that for you. I hope things go okay today.
Feel better, ita.
From earlier, go preemies! Tiny Cashmere nephew, and puff-eating Gracie!
I'm back at work, after being out sick yesterday. I can breathe. That's about all I've got.

Booo, Amy! Or maybe ultimately yay? But still, boooooo.
Let's go back to thinking about how tiny babies grow up into amazing kids.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So many people in my circle either starting or ending jobs, or both this week. At least 2 people I know just adopted kittens, and our next-door neighbors are moving in March.
Feels like I'm stuck in a rut. Need to change something.
