Another stressful work day... I really feel like we're due for a break.

Still not anything interesting, just... instructors out, too many things happening at once, so it took forever to get any of it *done*, because we kept getting pulled away to do something else...

One of our remote employees helped a TON today with the voicemail project, and I'm extremely grateful, yet feel bad because I did so few. But my day was a nightmare, and I don't know that I COULD have done them on top of my regular stuff.

I'm hoping tomorrow is better. We'll see, ha.

Frustrating attempt at writing yesterday. Perhaps I will have better luck tonight. While it's not weird for me to struggle to get words onto the page, it was a slightly different struggle with it last night. Like, I'd think of sentences I wanted, but then just... couldn't get them written. That sounds stupid, because lol, "think words, write words down" is pretty basic, but it just wasn't working.

I'm really enjoying Sleep No More, and appreciate the handful of emotionally devastating moments we've had so far.

Sorry work is a constant fustercluck.

Writing is weird, sometimes it just doesn't work.

[mistressofmuses]

I'd love for the fusterclucking to just... calm down. I keep thinking we've *got* to be getting to that point, and yet...

Writing is weird. I'm annoyed because I think it's likely at least somewhat the work stress, like I just don't have the mental energy for it, so I wind up with word salad when I try. But that just makes me mad, because work is annoying enough when I'm there! I don't want it to mess up my free time hobbies, too!

Stress can shred focus, and it becomes a cyclical thing there you can't get stuff done... which adds to the stress...

[mistressofmuses]

That's exactly it! Vicious cycle indeed... "too stressed, can't do anything... nothing done, more stress..."

I need to take deep breaths when I read about your work situation, lol! *hugs*

[mistressofmuses]

I've had quite a few times throughout the work day where I need to do some deep breathing, haha.

*hug* thank you. I'm glad it at least sounds as annoying as it feels!

I hope today was a significant improvement!
