I'm lonely. Where is everyone?



  • I'm not here.
  • I'm too busy to post.
  • I'm too lazy to post.
  • I have nothing to post.
  • I don't post, just lurk.
  • My fingers are broken.
  • Some other, completely ridiculous reason.

I'm sure I could find something to post about, but lately it would just be about how great my BF is, and this dosen't really seem like the right board for that.

Hey Shy.. Are you out of your rut yet? Feeling better?

My answer to this poll was "I am just too busy". Work has been hell, my vacation was not much of one. Too much "on the go". My head is spinning. I feel like I am going to crack. I quit my job the other day and I have no back-up plan. I am a mess. I feel bad that I have not been around to post. Do you think something is in the air that is making people do things out of character??

There must be something in the air to make everyone feel anti-social and off.

I have just been an emotional reck because my job is bringing me down. It has become an environment that is not working for me, so I just up and quit. You see, I don't do things irrationally. I usually hem and haw too much and do nothing because I like stablity. Well I guess my peace of mind won over, because I gave my notice yesterday without any job to fall back on.... I have no family here. They told me I could stay until I found a job, but how long is that going to last? They know I need to get out... Wish me luck on my job hunt, I am going to need it.

I usually go on the boards from work, and this week, for some reason, the message board pages are loading V.....E....R....Y.....S....L...O....W....L....Y or the page just stops loading altogether, and even though it's not loaded, the "Done" message is at the bottom of the screen.

SHy and K col, sorry to hear about what's going on in your life, (((hugs))). I have been taking a summer class MIS, and it is taking up so much of time time, not only do I have lecture but a lab that requires my time also. I had a job interview Monday, so I'm praying I get it, they would finish paying for my school, I'm tired of taking money out of my savings. Kcol, are you still pursuing your counseling degree, if so how are you coming along? It is a brave thing to do to put in your notice, but I know a lot of people who hav done that and it has been one of the best things they have ever done. I also know some who have been let go or layed off and have moved on to better careers and jobs. Shy, I didn't know you felt like no had no purpose, I'm sorry to hear that, my e-mail is always open if you want to chat

Shy - I totally relate to what you mean about having a purpose. I have been having a little bit of an identity crisis lately. As a result, I have started in on the suggested reading list for the Foreign Service Exam and been looking into Arabic classes.

I get depressed after surgery and tend to lie around watching movies which keeps me distracted but doesn't do much to fight the depression. I will need all of the time between now and April to study for the exam (the dates have not been posted for next year yet but it is almost always in April). Hopefully, reading things that are interesting and knowing that I am working toward a life goal will help me fight the blues post-operatively in October.

I was all happy that I had only 2 short trips left before my surgery. I should have known better than to celebrate. I just got the call from our Director and I have to go to Philadelphia the week before I have to go downstate to testify in a trial for work. Luckily, I will only be gone one night. I am just bone tired of airports and hotels.

Sigh.

This might sound silly but just the act of coloring is very therapeutic. I have two coloring books and a box of 64 crayons and sometimes, at night before I sleep, I will color 2 or 3 pages to calm my mind.

Im pretty sure there is research on the positive effects of coloring. It has something to do with the motions of the hand and sparking the creativity centers in your brain.
I'm just too lazy to look it up right now.
