This post brought to you by a mosquito...

[flexagon]

You know, the one that ensured I'd be awake long before I planned to be up, the one that droned about in the dark like a manic little bean of audible destruction until in annoyance I finally leaped out of bed? That mosquito. And suddenly I have time to post.

About what to post, I don't know. I've been something of a manic little bean myself, despite trying to stop. I thought I was so good for being all work-focused at work, until I realized I was being all work-focused at home too... still failing at compartmentalization. Anyone have any good mental tricks for completely switching gears? A change of clothes seems to help, and reading on the bus seems to help, but I'm still not really getting there. (Doesn't help that two people got fired for performance reasons last week, and I may lose a teammate in a couple of weeks... grrr.)

There's more I could say, but it's time to leave for the company picnic... yay for the picnic. Today, at least, shouldn't be stressful.

reverse-compartmentalization?

You could try some reverse-compartmentalization ... thinking about non-work stuff Friday lunchtime? (or even ranting over lunch if that is what you want to do...)

Yeah, that could be very good practice in not thinking about work! However, we'll have to wait and see if I blow off the vacation day I have scheduled for Friday. I'm supposed to go to DSB's picnic... but a) I kinda don't want to and b) there may be work-pressure reasons not to go anyway.

So I give it a 50/50 chance. If I'm working on Friday, then probably lunch would work nicely. :)

Btw, I don't need to vent. Still lovin' it. Just, I have to learn to express it properly instead of a 24/7 love-fest. A girl gets sore after a while, you know? :b

50/50 ... I can deal with that! Maybe see you soon. :-)

I've heard of these mythical guys with stamina capable of making a girl sore. ;-)
