The soul has greater need of the ideal than the real for it is by the real that we exist, it is by the ideal that we live

That's me today. I feel like I had white sugar for breakfast. That's usually what puts me in this foul a mood early in the day. But I think it's more a combination of things that got to me this morning. Which things I intend to talk about right now.

I could NOT get it together this morning to leave the apartment. Each time I thought I was ready to go I remembered something else I had to do or take. And then as I got in the car I realized I needed gas, always a fun thing to do in the a.m. which of course made me later than I wanted to be. Let's not even mention (maybe I will)the number of people who thought it necessary to pass me, get in front of me, and then jam on their brakes. It was like the sport of the fucking day this morning.

Then I arrived at the stress factory to find that my phone wasn't working. I asked a few people if their phones were working, wondering if maybe the powers that be were trying to tell me something. Then I found out it was some "testing" thing,(yet another mystery of civil service) and I mentioned that we should probably let the branches know that our phones are out so they won't fuss that they can't get ahold of us. I was told not to panic.

Needless to say this is when I lost my mind.

I believe I said something to the effect that this lethargic, lasy-ass bullshit is exactly the kind of behavior the powers that be are about to reward, while those of us who want to be proactive and insure that the lines of communication are continuously open and flowing with current info throughout the system will be tossed out in the street soon.

I don't think anyone is speaking to me at the moment. It's hard to tell cause they're wisely leaving me alone.

Wait, speaking of those powers they just walked in the building..

da da da dum...here we go.

More soon I'm sure.

Love?

Ok, wait.

THAT was the weirdest moment I've ever experienced in the world of employment. And that's from a guy who's had 107 jobs, so I've been around some weird-ass employment scenarios.

The guy who's about to eliminate a lot of us just came around and shook my hand and got introduced by the "head" of personnel. He said hello to me, and then made a big deal of meeting the web designer across the hall. Talk about telegraphing what you're about to do! Nothing was said, just "Hello." Oh I did notice that he wouldn't come in my office he just stuck his hand around the corner for me to shake.

Oh my GOD that was weird!

I bet there's more to come later on..stay tuned.

Today I decided to have Ryan Reynolds as the Thursday morsel. He's incredibly adorable. I read some comment somewhere this morning that he'd never done a decent movie. I went to his IMDB page. It appears that commenter is correct. Maybe he'll get out there and take some risks and we'll find he really can act and our instincts were right all along. But as long as he does these romantic comedy thingys we're just gonna have to wonder.

I feel, understand & endorse your crabbiness. I'm not having such a happy one myself. Hope it gets better!
