Well, yesterday day was about as bad as I thought it would be. But the date was about as nice as I thought it would be, which is saying something. I was a little flat, a little quiet, but I'd given d.jack good warning, so didn't worry too much about having to be fun and just enjoyed my wine and his hands.*
And someone left me a present in my mailbox yesterday. That was very nice, whoever you are, and you are so far not any of the people I would have expected. The flowers were pretty and also much appreciated.
Today was a hard day too. As it turns out, the day after receiving a layoff notice is less fun that the day you actually receive it, because your small organization starts shifting gears entirely, and it is discombobulating, to say the least. Depending on how fast the government machine grinds, we may or may not get laid off.
If there is an election, the layoff a surety. I find myself in the awkward position of wanting the Conservatives to stay in power. This will hopefully be the last time I ever say that.
Tonight, I'm finding myself a little frayed; feeling thin; a little frustrated, too, like I should be able to handle a week of social activity and some not huge work stress better than this, like I wish I had a stronger constitution.
But meh, we are who we are, right? And right now, what I are is hauling my carcass to bed.

Do you remember posting about your 2009 horoscope, and how it predicted turmoil and upheaval on the career front? I do. Because I immediately went to read mine, and realized that yours and mine were identical since our birthdays are only a day apart (duh). And then I got my tentative lay-off notice a few weeks later, which turned out to be the real deal and I was out of work at the end of March. I thought of you then, and how it didn't make sense that all us Libras would lose our jobs in 2009. Anyway. I hope your organization is better able to pull a rabbit out of a hat than mine was. But I can't quite bring myself to hope the Conservatives stay in power, since it's their fault my organization lost its funding. Good luck Megan.
Manny - So true. Before getting fully on board with wanting someone - man or woman or in between - I make sure that I would literally want them to put their hands in my pants.
Zoom - I totally did not remember that. Crazy. Yeah, I don't really want the Conservatives to stay in power, I just want them to be toppled, oh, say October 3rd. Which would probably give our funding org enough time to grind. Which, also, I think would be a nice birthday present for me. Though in some ways, a lay off might be a good kick in the ass for me - though I hate looking for a job and wouldn't be able to afford my house on EI. Ah, what will happen will happen, and I'm trying not to get too wound up about what that might be.
Couldn't have said it more elegantly myself...
