So, even thought this was Saturday night and not last night, I still woke up this morning feeling like I had been hit by a Mac truck, not because I’m still hungover but because I am soooo beat up. I have bruises in places I was not aware could bruise, but apparently I had at least fought back some, or so I’m told. It would be really nice to remember what actually happened, I have random flashes, but that really doesn’t help much. I’m hoping Azy and Eric found the situation amusing and not annoying because I really am not sure what how, when anything happened. I mean at this point I can make some pretty educated guesses about what happened by where the bruises are, but nothing more. So yeah, I guess I knew going in that this whole thing would probably end up as a bad situation and I made all my previous thoguhts come true :)

I may be walking out of my job tomorrow instead in a month and a half as planned. It’s frustrating when you have gone so far as to even defend something/someone that’s screwing you over that then goes to show it’s true colors as you are leaving. There are no words to describe how pissed off I am right now.

So, I’ve decided I’m going back to school, but what do I want to do about work? I had been planning on resigning as of the end of August, but I would need to find a different part-time job to make some money. How much is too much for the time that I have? I am going to start volunteering at this psychotherapy program (not sure how much time that will take up), school (only 9 credit hours, but all psych classes and also studying for GRE), and work, oh yeah, plus I still want to have close to my normal social life that I currently have outside work. The trick is, I could try to find a part-time job somewhere else, but then I would probably have to work weekends, and my weekends are pretty full already. I don’t know how much I can actually commit to. Oh well, I’m setting up a meeting to talk with my boss Monday, we will see what if anything comes from that. I’m not worried about hostility, I’m leaving for school, they have known for a looooong time that I wasn’t happy, and they desperately need me and will be screwed when I leave. We will see how much I can handle before I break completely :)

Apparently I do not give a crap about my job anymore or what my boss thinks of me. Perhaps this is because I have decided I am leaving, I just don’t know when. I used to be all politically correct and concerned about peoples feelings, often times being told I was being too nice given the situation. They have pushed me to where I have just snapped. I was called into my boss’ office this morning shortly after sending an email to one of the editors that has been particularly trying the past 2 weeks. My boss informed me that I shouldn ot engage with this person anymore until after she had talked to her. That’s all well and good, except that there is a graphic I need to get through today for a story this editor had sent to me, said graphic is a fucking mess and I informed the editor of that. I think with everything that has sort of come to a head this week, my boss thinks that I have lost it, I think I may agree with her.

Do I think I could actually quit my job and go back to school? I need to figure out what I would go for, but it is looking more and more tempting day after day here. Maybe psychology, I’m taking a summer session course at MC, it will be sort of a test. Quitting my job is seeming more and more like the sane thing to do.

So, coming back in to work today, where servers still not working well, almost got hit by an oncoming car going about 40 mph. I was sitting in the left lane on Twinbrook going towards 355 at the Veirs Mill intersection. I was the first car in the lane, thank God I didn’t pull all the way up to the stop line. Cross traffic had a green light and there was a fair amount of traffic. All of a sudden a car coming from the opposite direction from me came flying across the intersection, glancing blow to one of the cars in the intersection, full on smashed into the car sitting in the right lane next to me, was less than a foot from my car. If I had pulled all the way up to the stop line, I would have been smashed through the driver’s side door. What do you do in that situation, I was immediately thankful I had not gotten hit, the guy’s car next to me was totalled as was the minivan that ran the light. I turned my car off and got out, everybody who had been hit got out of their cars. I asked if everybody was okay, everybody seemed to be. The woman who had gotten the glancing blow in the intersection came shooting out of her car, obviously pissed off, with cell phone in hand, informing me she was calling the fire department. So I don’t need to call anybody and everybody seems to be okay, I don’t think you need me as a witness since the guy who came flying across the intersection wasn’t denying anything, apparently his brakes had completely gone, so he hadn’t slowed down at all. So, when my light turned green, I got in my car, started it, and went around them to go to work. As I was walking from my car to my office, I heard the sirens going towards the accident. Should I have done more? I couldn’t think at all in that situation, that scare me that I will be one of those people completely standing still if disaster hits. Anyway, back in the office, can’t think about anything, and network still not working well. This is shaping up to be an interesting day, at least I didn’t get hit.
I call into the emergency hotline a work this morning to make sure the building is up and running and we are supposed to be in. The message is “The Rockville office that was previously experiencing power outages is now up and running”. So I go into the office,usually the first one in anyways, and we have no server. All of the IT guys are in the building, which is unusual for that early in the morning, and are stressed. No server means I can’t get any of my files, I can’t get email, I have no phone, I can’t get anything done, which is great when there is a wire service with hourly deadlines that I have to get stuff through for this morning. Oh well, nothing I can do, so now I am at home getting to sit and wait for them to let me know I should come back into the office so I can twiddle my thumbs after getting 5 minutes of work done and then having nothing else to do. I just want to go exercise, ride my horse, maybe take my dog for a jog, maybe go swimming, really anything but sit and wait. I don’t do patient well.

It is amazing how a job I used to love is boring me so much. The stories are sometimes interesting, but there are only so many times you can say that bad things happen if you have diabetes oh yeah and everything is a risk fctor for diabetes and that the world is doomed to bad health and physicians make no money. Occasionally you get the stories of increased risk of throat cancer depending on the number of people you’ve had any kind of sexual contact with, but certainly not everyday. Oh well, on to finding meaningful numbers in the next study.
