I’m letting myself feel swamped by a perfectly reasonable amount of homework. I even have plenty of time to do it in. It’s an easy excuse for slipping into a panic, I think.

For the first time since I hired on in March, I’m actually annoyed with my boss. That’s okay, because I’m certain that he’s annoyed with me too. With the honest professional relationship that Tom and I have, I’m certain we’ll be able to work it out.

I’ve been using as a crutch to avoid an emotional trough, I think. When she’s not around, I’ve been having flashes of irrational anger and frustration, followed by happy-shiny moments. Not that she’s a stabilizing influence or anything. I am someone who places self-reliance at a high priority, so since I’ll be alone for pretty much the whole day, today will be an exercise in re-learning that I’m fine all by myself, too.

I think that writing and editing will reinforce that nicely.

My mail accounts are getting swamped by spam lately. Gmail still catches most of it, but I have one less email account forwarding to my gmail address, and two thousand more spam emails per month. I do not envy tech support professionals for having to deal with this trend.

I’m at Gone Wired for now. I love this place.
