It is nine in the evening and I feel like utter garbage. I took a co-worker's advice this morning and did not go to sleep when I got home from my graveyard shift. Instead, I stayed up till noon and attempted to get up at 8pm. At 830pm I was still struggling to get up and there was only one thing I knew for sure - I really, really did not want to. Thus plans of exercising before work and cooking up something good for myself are out the window (I only just finished a bowl of cereal and took my "morning meds"), which will make me all grumbly for the rest of the night.
So, resolution for happiness #1 for today is Don't listen to the people I work with, especially someone who isn't capable of being criticized without giving me the glare of death.
Did you know that I work in an office full of unhappy women? I know I refer to them as nutters and all that, but really they're just very very unhappy (well, some of them are unstable). Quite a few of them are the type of people who don't really have much going on outside of work, or if they do - what happens at work is still far more important to them. These are the ladies who gossip nonstop. The ones who react almost violently to every little thing. They are usually the first to lash out or gang up on someone else and the last to forgive or admit they were wrong. I used to refer to my unit as the Viper Pit. Now it's more like quicksand. There aren't as many people out to get each other, but there are suddenly too many who are trying to suck you into something you really don't want to be involved in.
Resolution for happiness #2 for today is Don't get involved. Which may also mean Don't listen. Don't contribute. Mind your own business. Don't be fooled. And, for god's sake, make sure that the life you live outside of work has enough that matters to you in it that you don't start thinking the world revolves around workplace gossip.
I suppose it's time for me to shower now and be off to work. Poopies.
