Bad day

Today was bad. Really bad. I don't even know why. You know when you wake up and you just know that the day is going to suck? I'm also PMSing big time, but usually that doesn't affect me much. I was literally on the verge of tears all day. Everything I did or anyone I talked to almost set me off. It was all I could do to not have a breakdown.

I had class tonight too, I decided to take this computer class that is sort of related to the work my department does but which is kind of above my head. Well, during the class the prof did a 20min demo to show us stuff for our homework that night. It took me the whole 20min to fucking find, unzip, and open the file. By the time I finally got it to work, I had missed the entire thing.

Needless to say, when I got home (after I had a slight meltdown) I headed straight for the margarita mix I had frozen in my freezer from my Saturday night dinner party. I don't know what's wrong with me. I don't know if it's spilling over from Saturday or if it's something else. I went out for drinks last night with some coworkers and the 40yr old single coworker went too. I think part of me is scared shitless of ending up like her. Because, honestly, we have so much in common it's scary.

At least I can have some comic relief watching the VP debate :)

i so know what you mean bout being scared shitless bout ending up single like someone else you find that you have in common with. i feel that way with an ex-colleague. she's 36 years old and single. it's crazy 'coz she's gorgeous, successful and fun to be with. i'm not nearly as gorgeous or successful but we both agreed that we did see similarities between us. and if someone as fabulous as her can't seem to find someone, then what bout me??

Oh I hate days like that! They have been happening more often than not for me lately! I hope things have been better since then!

*sigh*

I don't have anybody that I'm afraid I'll wind up like...because I'm the only single girl at work who's not having any fun whatsoever and who struggles with that fact.

I have a feeling that if we worked together, you'd be afraid of winding up like me...'cause really, I'm rapidly becoming the stereotype.

That's what politics are for - comic relief! Ha.

I have a 40-something female manager who is single and talks about it all the time. She is a sweet woman who is highly respected in the field and I really do feel for her (mainly because she's always saying how she's sick of being single). Yet she works 12 hour days, plus weekends and admits it puts a damper on things.

I think that's just the way our society is heading - you've got the single, really independent people and then you got the people who are always in some kind of relationship because it's something they can't live without. It's tougher on women than it is on men I believe.
