Work is driving me crazy

((Hugs to angel))

I’m sorry you are having such a tough time at work. I have that happen to me and I hate it when people say ‘yeah but that’s job security.’ Excuse me, but there’s nothing secure about work stressing you to the point where you want to get up and walk away. I hope it bets better for you.

Hey Angel – Wanna hang out with me in the crazy corner? I came close to tears with the piles on top of other piles – all that need my attention ASAP! I’m stressed out at home too – taxes, paperwork, etc., but home is where Shaddo is so that helps. I am hereby channeling my own stress into TDK white light to you, Angel. I have noticed, however, that gazing on the day’s kitten does help, so I consider it mandatory that I take a few minutes each day for that. It sounds tougher for you, because I at least have an understanding boss. I know it’s easier said than done, but please hang in there. (deep breaths, counting to 10, visioning holding someone under water…)

{{{hugs}}} to angel and joan – been there, it’s not nice.

Angel and Joan – I had your problems last week and was reduced to tears after a phone call from a client. You have my sympathies. All you can do is your best and make sure the boss knows how hard you have worked. Maybe you can let everyone see a priority list so they know when they stand and they might appreciate how much you have to do. {{{hugs}}}}

Hugs to Angel and Joan. I’ve been there, too, and started crying when I went out to dinner with the boyfriend a couple weeks ago because of stress.

Oh Linda, I am sorry you are feeling so frazzled too. It is hard when the work load seems to become more than we can bear. As the economy goes into a recession, companies are going to make their staff take on more than they can handle so that the big muckie mucks don’t have to work too hard and can enjoy their company perks more (like working from home when one is sick instead of having to take off valuable paid time off).

uhhh….Angel? Maybe I AM channeling you…I work for a CPA firm too! Enjoy your “away from work” time. I know you won’t get much of it!

Angel, this is your next hell months! I feel for you. You seem to be in a place I go into from time to time. Yes, your boss does not know what you do, and could care less, just get it done. Sound familiar? Yes, it would take two people to do your job if you left. Right again. Now take a deep breath and calm down. Do you like your job or love it? If answer is yes, most of the time, this is what hell week does to us. Now are you just venting, and most welcome, I may add, are you ok now? These are things we go through at every point in a job. Don’t cut off your arm to get back at them. All will be well soon, I know, not soon enough for you. One day at a time dear girl, it will work out. Til then, Mama sending hugs and comfort, that tomorrow will be a better day. Hang in there, all is well. Love Lynn

Angel and Joan, let’s go the TDK virtual den. I am officially wrapping you two in lovely warm quilts and parking you beside a nice, crackling fire. There are several sweet kittens tumbling about, and one of them, a tuxie, is trying to bat at the mini marshmallows in your cups of hot cocoa.

I put a tray of Godiva chocolates on one end table, and a charming little Siamese promised not to play with them. On the other end table are two plates of tea sandwiches and some lovely scones, and the butter is on a nicely covered dish on the coffee table. An orangie is guarding the butter, but he cannot be trusted.

Please sit and sip and munch and pet the kittens, and don’t worry. The rest of your TDK family will be praying for you two.

And also for the little Siamese — he is now going after the sandwiches!

{Hugs} to you, Angel and Joan! Don’t let your work overcome you.
