My toe isn't throbbing constantly and I can get around in a limping sort of way so long as I keep my weight off the big toe and balance on my heel.
A co-worker remarked that they had missed me and I almost cried.
The first two days I was functioning normally but on the third the disruption of my sleep patterns really started to take a toll.
The lack of sleep manifested itself in anger. Wrath seems to be one of my personal seven deadly sins right behind envy.
I do have flashes of self awareness and I realize that the root of feelings comes not only from sleep deprivation but the stress I have been under. An element of which has been the promise of a career position. (oh to return to the rat race and once again to be real person in the eyes of others). I am on the short list but the waiting is killing me and everyday that goes by I despair of ever getting a "real" job.
You are a real person. Period. Who gives a damn what anyone else thinks - particularly anyone shallow enough to judge a person by their paycheck? Just sayin'...
ReplyDeleteYour post made me think of this song/video:

Unsettling song *and* video. Finally figured out why - he barely blinks the entire video, even with all of that debris blowing around. (Just a few times, at the very end of the video.) PiL were pretty great back in the day...
