That’s been a major part of my emotional roller coaster lately…

And then there’s work.
Joyous, wonderful work.
Where in less than a calendar week, two poor souls have been let go.
(The second one of which I had no idea and rudely dismissed his attempt at “goodbye” as a silly joke on his part…luckily somebody finally told me he was gone and I managed to find him before he left the office and apologized profusely)
And one more may be getting the axe as early as Friday.
While yet another’s job hangs by the most delicate of the threads…
All that takes an emotional toll on me to begin with, because despite my being an asshole, I don’t like to see nice people get hurt. It also physically adds to my job…not that I’m really swamped already, but let’s just say that deadlines will now be that much deadlier.

And then there’s the other stuff.
That perpetual other stuff.
That’ll always be there…

Oh, wait, I do have something...
Yesterday was my parents' 46th wedding anniversary.
Frightening.
Amazing.
And hard to believe, all things considered...

I'm very upset.
Nothing is working right, and it's really bringing me down...
I did something with the best of intentions...a labor of love, if you will, and it came out like garbage. Sure, the thought's what counts, but that's bullshit.
The end result won't have the effect I wanted, and it just sucks.

And then there's something I've been working on, and I know I have to get it just right, and I don't know what the fuck to do with it. I have basic ideas, but that won't get the job done.

If only I could back to the beginning...
When I was standing in line and waiting for a brain...
This time around I wouldn't leave empty handed...

I've been sick with a cold and stuff.
Not fun.

On my PAL'S recommendation I rented Equilibrium, a very cool sci-fi flick starring Christian Bale, the new (and future?) Batman. Very cool indeed, and the quote on my home page, comes from that movie.
Well, via WB Yeats, of course...
