Dear Waves,
I really read it and understand it.
I am sorry that I cannot present a full response.

I do wonder if this is the way the boss is. Maybe you have not gotten used to each other yet.


This kind of stuff angers me -- when someone says they said something when the did not. I'm glad your figured it out.


. . . .good way to handle this one.

Keep plugging Waves. You are doing well. Really, you are.

Dear Waves,

This might be off topic.

In my adult work life, most of the time when I have troubles at work it is because of the boss. It is rarely the work itself.
One time it was the colleagues. Mostly it is the boss.

Would you be perfectly fine doing the work with little interaction / interference from the boss?

M.

Dear Waves,

He is a bit of a weirdo.

But from this, it almost sounds like he likes interacting with you.
You did manage to keep your cool. That was good.

Have you noticed that sometimes people at work don't really care if the work is getting done or getting done correctly?
They live in the moment of now -- not in the future where the problem becomes a bigger problem. . . . .
. . .they are focused (to the extent that they focus) on being right, being comfortable, . . .

Today is Friday, thank goodness.
I'm tired from my week.

Maybe this is helpful or not, but I got through two thirds of my work day on Wednesday before I noticed that my blouse (very pretty at that) was on inside out. :eek:

When I noticed no one was around, I immediately reached to take it off and put it on correctly, but reminded myself that although no one was around, I was not in a private area, and anyone could show up while I was in the midst of fixing my attire.

I did not leave to go to a restroom or to my office. I got my stuff (but not my blouse) ready for the next group to come in. I announced to the group that I was aware of my clothing / blouse situation and moved on.

I can't really blame the blouse mishap on sleep deprivation because I might have done the exact same thing on a better day.

Happy Friday.
M.

I am glad that you were able to stop the impulse to change your blouse there, as someone could have easily walked in. good for you!
no one probably noticed....

thanks for the support. sorry for the long post. funny it was i came here to say something else but got distracted and ... story of the past few weeks.

(((Mari)))
it does sound like you really get it. later i want to answer some of the more specific things you said about bosses and trouble at work.

i've done the inside out bit. i usually go to the rest room to change when possible. it bugs me until i get the chance to do so, and i've used "relatively-sheltered" moments to just pull a fast one. :D lol. anyay you will get to wear that pretty blouse again right side out, no worries. so it can be appreciated properly.

this week must have backwards planetary events or something. if it is any consolation to you, out of the 4 days i worked this week, 2 of them i went in with unexpectedly mismatched earrings! :rolleyes: but being i sorta feel nakedw ithout earrings.. i left them in. what i did was to change the colored scarf i had which clashed with one of them, to a black scarf... so that they both looked nice and not too messy. the first day no such adjustments were possible.... but... hey. no account'n for taste right! and i don't figure the firm has earring codes!!!!!

i do seem to be about "down" now though. i had a couple days when i was very verrrrrry restless, aggressive, antisocial (not Asocial, but anti). now i actually seem to be calming all around. fortunately i do not feel the usual pathetic worthlessness that woould cause me to fear depression waiting. but no... in fact i still have a little spunk! :) so i think i am ok.

my head is a mess again with racing thoughts though but there is a temporary reason for that... it is systemic and not mood-related.

li am not at work today but YEAH, TGIF!!!!!! :hug:

Oh Waves, what an ordeal you've been through! :hug:
I'm so glad that you feel like you're coming down a little! :)

Personally, I HATE being manic! My mind writes checks that my body can't cash! Sometimes I do "feel" like I'm enjoying myself, tho.
Does anyone else get s/s thoughts when they're manic?

Waves
I have to say "WOW" Fantastic job you are doing.
