I’m not dead
Hi, I’m still here. Just brain dead. Apparently waking up five nights a week between 2am and 6am because of work stress is bad for mental health and cognitive function. Who’da thought it? I’m reasonably good at maths but three people doing four jobs plus other functions in which we have no expertise because other areas are understaffed = a bit of stress. I was by myself in the office Friday afternoon weeping because I have no control of the situation and there is no end in sight until at least next year. I need another job quickly but these things only tend to happen during economic downturns and there’s not a lot out there in the part of the world where I live. I have never worked a day in hospitality and I probably shouldn’t be allowed to deal directly with the public, but if things get worse I might get my responsible service of food, gambling, alcohol and coffee and work in a pub for a while. It’s only Tuesday and I’m in sleep-deprived forgetfulness and can’t remember meetings I’ve been to or a presentation I apparently spoke at — someone said I did a good job and I don’t even recall being there.
Crank-o-meter: so very tired
