Everyone at work is running around with their hair on fire. It's exhausting. To make matters worse, the same thing is going on at home right now. And even church is adding to the flame. It's been this way for weeks, at least. More accurately it's approaching months status. I'm just exhausted. No wonder my reading is so down this year. Four books so far, and we're more than halfway through March. Last year by this time, I'd read at least twenty or thirty, I think (I must have to have topped one hundred in the year. If not technically, then by smoothing out the averages.)
I can't keep up this pace for long.
Bad news; sometimes when I'm really stressed and frustrated, I end up becoming more argumentative in "real life." I'm trying to keep it under wraps as best I can, but sometimes I get in more stupid arguments online that I'd otherwise ignore when I'm in a bad mood.
Luckily, my wife stepped in and stayed on the line with one of our issues while I was doing work stuff and couldn't spend all that time on my phone. At least that will be one issue checked off.
UPDATE: My wife's been on the phone for over three hours, I think. It wasn't quite as easy as she assumed it'd be. But, she had the time to do that and I didn't. We'll see how she feels about stepping in to do it after I get back. I think she already thinks that I somehow could have done it on the weekend or the evening... y'know, after they were closed. I love her, but she doesn't always understand how things work because she usually doesn't do them, so in her mind it's much simpler than it actually is. UPDATE ADD-ON: She got it done. She was on the phone for five hours. She said I could have done that on evenings or weekends, but that's not true. They aren't open evenings or weekends, and until this morning, we didn't know that that's what would need to be done. I'm glad that that's done, but the way she's acting like she came in and did something that I couldn't do because I'm just not persistent enough rather than because I don't have time to do it honestly makes me even more tired. Sigh.
UPDATE 2: While I was in a meeting and the agenda wandered for a moment from my stuff, I got my crappy profile pic from LinkedIn, uploaded it to Grok and told it to make me a resume photo out of it. First it tried to change my greenish hazel eyes to brown, and I said that it was wrong and it gave me Fremen blue eyes. Luckily, I just resized it so you couldn't really tell and reuploaded it on LinkedIn in low resolution. It mostly looks like a good picture of me after all. I hate LinkedIn. It's the worst of the social medias, but it's also the one that I don't feel like I can get rid of as long as I'm working and potentially will be looking for another job again someday. Ugh.
