Blame the turtles! I hope you feel better soon

Am I going to find someone naughty on here.

Santa would have found them first.

He does have that list doesn't he.

happy holidays lost

He sure does! Takes all the fun out of it, I'm sure.

Hope you're having a great festive period, mg!

Isn't there a women's magazine called "festive period"?

Mrs Claus is going to get me for that one.

You'll be getting coal next year.

And stoned this year no doubt.

There's a small window of opportunity.

That's what Bob Dylan says.

Thank you. That'll teach me to never eat too much chocolate again.

All's it teaches me is that I should have a more balanced approach - some fruit AND chocolate!

Thinking I really wanted to take myself out for sushi on New Year's Eve. Damn poison ivy... and now a cold is trying to get a hold of me. Early to bed. Yep! That is what I am thinking!

Lorazepam really is my friend.

I need to stop crying at work...

Lost I don't know what has you crying but I hope it gets better!

Ugh I hate when I do that!

Crying at work is career suicide. If you can do almost anything to avoid it the effort is worth it. Better to go home and loose a days pay or change jobs if the job site is that intolerable. If you are taking things from off work TO work then you may need to get stuff worked out at home because you need a job to have a home. Sounds pretty dire. You got my sympathy.

It's the job environment, Pacific. It's a horrible place to work. The job itself should be so easy but they always seem to understaff and everyone's always in such a horrible mood and they're always shouting at each other. It's a bar/restaurant job, so there's always issues with stock levels, problems with orders etc, which then means customers getting mad at us that then means the chefs get mad at us for trying to resolve the problems...

There are occasionally issues outside of work but I don't tend to take them into work, just as I don't tend to take work home with me. But when your energy levels are down, you're not getting breaks in your shift and they're essentially working you to the bone, you can't help but get stressed, however much I try to take control of it. It annoys me I get stressed as it's a shitty job, certainly not a career, and it's completely ridiculous things that build up until we're all wound up.

I've been applying for other jobs though, but heard nothing back yet and don't really expect to until the new year is up and running again. Trying to stick it out as can't afford to be without a job, but I just hate it so much.

@realcarebear: thank you! I hope so too. <3

I can tell which men haven't read my profile. As it say's I'm taken, yet I still get asked out. Yeah. I'm really gonna leave my guy for a bit on the side. Not. Why would I? Very funny.
