Yesterday we had a bunch of lay-offs at work. No, I wasn’t one of them–thank gawd–but two people in my department were on the list. One actually volunteered to go. We knew something big was coming, so we were waiting all day to hear what the huge news was going to be, and who was going to be gone. We were all on pins and needles all day. I didn’t realize just how tense I was until I was at home, and I was able to breathe again.

As if I didn’t have enough to think about, it turned out that one of my friends had a bunch of ‘frustrations’ with me lately, and she hadn’t known how to tell me about them before. So we had to have that discussion. Most were valid frustrations (some were simple misunderstandings), and we ended up talking it all out, but suffice it to say that yesterday wasn’t the best day I’ve ever had.

FOR THE RECORD: If there’s something you need to tell me, PLEASE tell me. It’s infinitely better and easier that way.

Thank you.

We now return you to the witty, insightful blog, already in progress.
