That's the sound of the last functional circuit in my brain's emotional centers burning out.

Does anyone have a spare chip or two they can loan me...at least for the next couple of days? Or maybe a week or two?

At least until I can find some way to solder this sucker back into a some rough kind of working state.

I am feeling your pain

[mirvana.livejournal.com]

I remember you were talking about grading papers a while back, and how much of a torture that was for you because some of them really sucked, and I just had an experience at work today where I can really relate. I have this presentation from a coworker that I have to turn into something useful, and my bullshitometer just went off the scale, because there is nothing useful here. It's amazing how many pages with words there are, but no information! I have to turn it into something I can live with before I leave today. Ugh.

Lord. I've had to do those kind of "edits" that, effectively, result in nothing short of rewriting the entire thing before....It's horrible. I'm so sorry you have to deal with that kind of crap. :(

I wish that something like that was all *I* had to work out, now. Thousands of meaningless words I can handle no problem. It's all the other all-too-human crap that makes life hard to handle.

In the words of John Prine:
"Broken hearts and dirty windows
make life difficult to see....
That's why last night and this morning
always look the same to me."

Right now, all I really need are some solder and some Windex.

Are you ok? What happened?

[oneirophrenia.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm fine--nothing at all to concern yourself about! Just some things caught up with me that I was kinda-sorta expecting but *not* expecting at the same time. One of those weird emotional deals that you think you've completely forgotten about but then--DING!--some little remnant sneaks up on you when you least expect it. The last echo of some past bad experiences that, fortunately, are definitely in the past...though they *do* cast long shadows.

I'll hit you up with the details if you *really* want to know, but, honestly, they're pretty dang boring. :)

If you want to talk

I can call or you can IM me.

Always here, love.

I am totally the nosy kind of person who is curious to know the details. XP

Though I know what you mean, how when something is dealt with, it can still come back to slam you at random times.

[oneirophrenia.livejournal.com]

Allrighty, then! You asked for it. :)

I'll tell you the tale on Friday. It's a bit of a long story, and it's a lot more entertaining when certain actual scenes are acted out in pantomime fashion!
