I'm clearly an idiot  
Four days I had this weekend, four days to get caught up wth fic, with site updates, with this essay... did I do any of it? Did I buggery.

I'm so sorry [livejournal.com profile] smhwpf and [livejournal.com profile] emeraldswan - I've not looked over anything all weekend. I'm really sorry [livejournal.com profile] with_character, this essay still isn't done.

I haven't written a word of fic at all, I've got a whole new plot idea I'm trying to ignore though, and generally I've done nothing except listen to the new 'phoncs album.

What I did do this morning was read a fantastic fic from the ever-incredible Lori Bush - How To Be Dead (incidentally named after one of my favourite songs - if you've not got Snow Patrol's Final Straw album, why not?) Go join/sign into PYGS read it, love it (although that goes almost without saying) and feedback on it!

In other (work related) news, none of the grade twos have shown up today! All we have in the office are supervisors, gosh that's fun! eta why is it, whenever we're short-staffed like this, I'm the only one who ever thinks of covering break times? Six supervisors in the office, two of whom are senior to me, and only one of them has gone on early break. There are five people sitting in the office right now and not one of them is even thinking that J's going to be on her own in the office in 15 minutes. *sigh*

Ahhh, but their break times are their break times, can't go upsetting their routine, that wouldn't be right, no, not right at all.

*smiles* of course not, and the fact is that none of them actually care either.

I ducked down to the vending machine, came back up to find J on a personal call and someone waiting at the enquiry point. I couldn't ignore the guy (others would have but I don't have it in me to blank someone like that) so I ended up working through my break. Which is why I have no qualms about being on LJ and working on my essay when I get the chance.

How're you feeling now?

Not really any better. I'm working my way through one of my easter eggs, but even that's not really helping.

If there's anything I can do to help just ask.

*hugs*

You know, that's very open to interpretation. But no, I just need to pull myself together really. Find something to remind me that I'm good at something.

Of course you're good at things! Don't let anyone ever tell you any different. You come up with fantastic story premises which you execute well, you encourage other people to believe in themselves, you are a good friend. There's a lot more I could say but I'd run out of space.

Believe in yourself.

Nnnhhhhhh

grrrr

okay, so I suck at motivational speeches and things like that, but you put too much pressure on yourself. Your allowed to have an off day, to feel like crap, but don't ever doubt yourself like this. Please?

It's just, hhhmmm, is what I do ever enough? Will I ever get myself into a position where I can just enjoy life and not have to worry about how much money I'm gonna have next month? Ever be relaxed enough to just do something without worrying about what other people will think or be worried what might go wrong? Ever not obsess about things that don't really matter?

you're a worrier, anyone who knows you even a little bit can see that. You are always going to worry about the little things until you decide to not let them get to you as much as they do. That's not easy - hell, I'm the worst person in the world to tell someone not to get so stressed about things - but it's something to aim for. Isn't it?
[identity profile] rileysaplank.livejournal.com on March 29th, 2005 03:35 am (UTC)
I don't know how not to worry though.
[identity profile] rileysaplank.livejournal.com on March 29th, 2005 05:02 am (UTC)
*hugs* I'm feeling a little better now. I should really try to be more positive shouldn't I?

*nods*

good to know you're feeling better!
