I need some Zen
May. 22nd, 2007 08:57 pm*sigh* Today has not been a good day, and this evening has been a total write-off. Work is still frantic, I'm incredibly tired, and certain RL people have me completely livid at the moment.
There was a long, ranty entry about this, but I've decided not to post it - yay for the slim shreds of self-control, I guess. Or apathy - it's odd, I'm swinging back and forth between insane anger, passing through lethargy, and then into depression. And back.
It's not even a big deal - just the straw that broke the camel's back. Hell, it isn't even unexpected - I knew this was going to happen, which makes it rather ridiculous for me to be this upset *sigh*
I know I'll probably delete this entry tomorrow, but right now I need to try and get this out of my head. Maybe this will work. Probably not, but right now I'll try just about anything.
Since LJ is failing at de-stressing me tonight, it's on to strategy number two: rewatching favourite TV shows. I-Man, here I come.

Your icon is brilliant and full of cheer-up-ness :)

Thank you for the hugs, and the understanding :)

Date: 2007-05-22 09:46 pm (UTC)I find it's easier to just rant it out - usually under f-lock or i-lock (private posts). But that's me. Posting it all helps me get rid of the rage.
Argh work and argh people!

If we could only get rid of work and (infuriating) people, life would be so much better! :P

I like the playdoh idea!
