Divisions and Precisions

I'm Alive!

Well. This has certainly been an interesting week. I kept wanting to write and I kept not being able to. Things at work have been frantic, with me playing catch up quite a bit. In addition, I'm running my Changeling game this weekend, and had a lot of preparation to do there. But I'm excited about it. With a little bit of help, I came up with a great storyline, full of all the epic things I love about Changeling: lovers lost, lovers reunited, ancient myths come to life, good and evil facing off... if all goes well this weekend, I might post a narrative of what happened. And to top it all off, I have a new player joining the group. Which makes me excited and scared. I'm really new at this storytelling/gamemastering thing.

While this has been a week from hell, there was one bright spot on Tuesday. Jo, after reading this entry with its references to the Clairol wrong number thing, found a support number for (I think) one of our competitors and called them:

"Hello? Yeah.. I need help, this hair coloring is awful. It didn't work at all... What? This isn't Clairol? It's not? Well.. do you know where I could get their number? Well.. all right. Thanks..."

Today was a much needed break, after feeling stressed out all week. TJ's birthday is this weekend, and she won't be in tomorrow, so we celebrated early. Boy did we celebrate. Great lunch, lots of fun stuff, we got very goofy. Of course, goofy receptionists are not that uncommon around here, but... today was an exceptionally goofy day, complete with odd hair decorations, snarky comments about co-workers and discussions of the ramifications of drunkenness on the job. (Don't ask about that last one. Really.)

I feel much more relaxed.

I haven't done nearly as much preparation for moving as I had hoped, but again... week from hell. I'll make up for time next week. And I realized this morning as I was driving to work that I missed an appointment with Nancy this morning. Still haven't called her. I have a serious case of the guilties right now. I missed last week too, and this week was a reschedule.

To be completely honest, I wasn't sure how I was going to handle this week. Brand and Mo are together, and last time she went to visit him, I didn't handle things very well at all. Of course, a lot has changed since then. I'm happy to announce that I haven't spent this week in a state of self-imposed depression. I've been too damn busy! I have thought about them from time to time, mostly just because I miss talking to them. I'm learning to let go of a lot of useless, negative things. Yay for me.

Maybe this hasn't been such a bad week after all. Posted by Lisa at September 9, 1999 04:42 PM
