I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I stand with Dana. Today should be over. Even though it started out ok and my dr wrote me script for anti-anxiety med and confirmed I have lost a few lbs since Nov. I came into a shitstorm at work which has spiraled into an anxiety attack and I am yelling at ppl.

Tomorrow though, tomorrow I see Daisy Jane and that will be better.

Snow squall and all the locals on my fb & tl are losing their shit. Pretty sure I heard all parents of school kids start screaming....

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I wish I could yell at people. If I were still in the office I could go loom over peoples' desks until they caved and gave me what I need. Except most of the people who work for me now are in another country, so I still couldn't loom.

The inability to psychologically intimidate my co-workers hampers my ability to get shit done.

I also am signed up for Nextdoor but mostly ignore it.

carrier later left a message on my answering machine begging me to drop the complaint, so I'm pretty sure I at least got her put on some sort of probation with the USPS.

Well that's good at least! I get annoyed that our mail half time time ends up in our mailbox SOAKING WET. I recognize that this is Seattle and it rains but there's no reason that the bottom half of all the envelopes in there should look like it was in a bucket of water. Makes it hard to read bills, makes cards useless, checks difficult...ugh.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Right there with Dana and msbelle. I have no specific reason why.

Last time I looked at NextDoor there really wasn't anything in my area.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh, it looks like Nextdoor is one of those sites where you need to sign up before you can take a look and see if you might want to sign up for it? That's probably what stopped me from checking it out last time I thought about it since it's what's stopping me this time.

I should think about doing something today, right? Sheesh

We are about to do my performance evaluation over the phone. Lucky for me she can't see my face.

Good luck Zen

This is hilarious. She's supposed to be scolding me for not completing stuff, and she's forgotten what she's talking about. She's having to stop and look it up.

Did you? Drop the complaint? I ask because one of my mail carriers is on the verge of getting a written complaint from me, but I'm not sure how far I want to take it.

Oh hell no. It was a months-long pattern of damaging my mail in a fashion that very clearly wasn't accidental. If the postmaster had asked for mercy on behalf of an employee of good character I might have caved, but the way it went down made me even more uncomfortable about her maybe getting stalkery.
