They seem to have fallen into this mode where they believe I work for them and they are my top priority.. when in fact neither of these things is true. The temptation to scream &#8216;leave me alone&#8217; at them is very real.. but yet, it&#8217;s really not their fault. They&#8217;ve been asked to do something they don&#8217;t have the resources (or, I would argue, the knowledge at times) to do..<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know. I&#8217;ll call them back when I wake up a little more. At least my dreams last night didn&#8217;t feature spiders. [My dreams the night before did, in fact.. feature really big spiders, and P.. they were not happy or pleasent dreams]<\/p>\n<p>I did finally take P. off my journal friends list. Her latest post was about her plethora of activity partners.. and aside from mentioning Justin, and in the initial-style that she used to mention me in, which upset me, it also felt like a criticism of me that I never did anything, or something, which upset me further. So I did the sane thing and clicked delete.. and that upset me too, but at least now I can look at my friends page without fear. In a month or so I&#8217;ll probably re-add her. When I&#8217;m over all this.<\/p>\n<p>This is taking longer than it really should to get over, IMHO..<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also really tired of tiptoing around *myself* for fear of offending myself.. I mean, last night I apologized to Jessie for not being able to pick up his system today, despite the fact that I had zero advance notice and would have been doing him a huge favor. This is *pathetic*. Where did my spine go, and can I buy a synthetic one?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning seems to be harder morning to wake up than most.
