When life is ****...

This is for you Pip ~~ I had one of those **** days yesterday.

Unhappy people at work, calling in to scream at me for a mistake I didn't make...stressed...sarcastic...over-caffeinated.... wanting someone to be fired, etc. etc.

Meanwhile I had a personal crisis on my mind = a hearing I had to attend at 2:00 p.m. So I took my lunch hour to type a "pity party" e-mail to all of my friends, briefly explaining my problem and asking for prayers, good thoughts, good karma, crossed fingers, ... basically any good luck charms they could send me via ESP so that me and my kid would not be alone at that nasty unemployment hearing appeal. I mass mailed that E-mail to all my friends in my address book, including some from my high school reunion last year...

When I got home and logged on the computer...there were *hugs* and "cheer-up", and "atta girl" messages. It was really uplifting to read the support and friendships that I had.

A couple of tablespoons of Nyquil later and I was happily snoring and putting that day behind me.

OK...so that's my 2 cents worth...

Hope it helps.

P.S. the damn hearing got postponed....the star witness for the otherside couldn't make it!
