Wow, Steph. You really just nailed it for me.
Tom, I hope it helps too.

Because books.
That's it in a nutshell, Steph. I hope therapy is cathartic today, Tom.
Laura, that is some serious fuckery.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds awful, Tom, but not, like, an irrational reaction? I hope venting helps.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, that's my experience too. So far (you know, the past two days), I feel slightly better.

I was going to make my usual complaint that working 5 days in a row is too much, but then I remembered that I called in sick on Monday. I should probably look for a new job. Just saying that "out loud" to make it more real to myself.

Steph has nailed how I'm feeling as well, which is why I had to talk myself down in the shower this morning.

And, gah, the news out of Butte County is pretty bad. I am not a fan of fire season.

I just saw the term "firenado" on CNN, and that is not a thing that should exist.

-t you should probably look for a new job. Even if working five days a week IS stupid, I agree.
