Tea in the Sahara

I saw my first episode of Blood Ties last night (not the first episode of the series) and I'll probably watch it. It is after a Canadian production that films up here (and apparently in Toronto as well.) And the original novels were written by a Canadian, even more reason to support it.

Work was the same old, same old. Except worse.

One of my co-workers had a heartattack on the Friday of my vacation. Things were fine until the day she was going to be released when things got worse, she then needed to have bypass surgery and was doing fine after that. She's now in a coma. It's not a medically induced coma either. This is horrible. And several of us are having a hard time dealing with it.

Then one of my favourite co-workers is talking about quitting over the new availability. She was in tears over it. She's already upset at the way that I am getting treated, but everything else is just getting worse.

And I had to listen to Mr. A/C Control Freak's petty whining about how someone is getting more hours than him on one day. (Someone who was not originally scheduled for the shift and is only a part time employee.) This was after we found out about the co-worker's recent condition. I had to restrain myself from either a) telling him off or b) smacking him senseless with my stapler.

I won't even both to discuss how every day my work place becomes more and more like Dilbert with me feeling more and more like a cross between Alice and Dilbert.


I don't think I even mentioned what happened on Wednesday. My dad's friend (a very old friend that he's done prospecting with) ended up cutting off the tips of two fingers on his right hand on Wednesday (needless to say that really upset Dad a lot.) However said friend is doing fine (he was over on Sunday.)

And then my godsister and her health issues right now.

So yeah life is pretty bleak for me right now. Admittedly things could be ten times worse and there has been some good news (my friend & godkids have a place for the first of the month so they can get out of their situation.) But overall, things are just really wearing me down. Emotionally and physically.

This post really wasn't supposed to be about everything that's bad... it just sort of ended up that way.

Well I am back...

I don't have a lot to say right at the moment because my legs are falling asleep because of the kitten on my lap.

It's a long story but I am finally feeling a lot better. I am not as depressed as I've been. I'll update more tomorrow or Sunday at the very latest.

It's my birthday weekend so I am gonna be swamped.


Anyhow hello everybody!
