Madness ensues

[darkemeralds]

We're not on the thirteen-hour-a-day schedule this week--just the regular stay-till-seven scenario that's beginning to seem normal.

The most gorgeous October days are going by outside and things are coming unplugged in my brain. I'm misspelling stuff (and not caring!), I can't focus on a task for more than six minutes at a time, and (this is the worst) I am thinking about work when I'm not at work. This must end.

My sanity, such as it is, is hanging by a thread.

The thread is made of music (I brought in my whole CD collection) espresso, surreptitious discussions about Supernatural with vampirefan and owzers, and at least one break per day out in the park.

Here's what constitutes the scissors: the number "35" writ large on the big board (representing the number of days till go-live), cubicle-mate two feet away talking on the phone, people in the next cubicle laughing, people with clattery clattery keyboards, throat-clearing, breathing, and generally existing. Oh, and too fucking many meetings,

In the "could be thread, could be scissors" category is my current phone screen saver, the black and white photograph of Jensen Ackles wearing an unzipped sweatshirt and laughing his head off.

Nope. I'm management. But they buy us dinner. Which I can't eat. And they gave me a compensatory week off, which I used to in September for the train trip which I now barely remember.

But it will all be over soon.

And when I do raise my head long enough to look at the headlines, I feel very grateful to have any kind of job at all.

I feared as much. And yes, I think we're all desperate to stay with our lousy jobs right now.

Meanwhile, if you fancy a flashback to the recession before last, I posted some of my wedding pics today. Laugh at Mr Kis' hair! And his suit!

Fabulous! I commented. Thank you for sharing these. What a beautiful thing to look back on.

Happy Anniversary.

It's odd. In some ways it seems a lifetime away; in others, like yesterday. D'you recognize the harpies from copper4akiss's wedding pics?

I can't say that I did, no! I was too struck by the beauty of the bride and groom. I think that's the intent of wedding photos, isn't it?

Hee. If you'd seen the other pics, you might not think that. Some of them are truly hilarious.
