what's wrong with this picture?

[jaeclectic]

Worked at home, which was good -- once I got past the 15 minutes of panic because my broadband ceased just as I was trying to connect to the VPN -- it came back to life while I was on hold waiting to ask Comcast if there was an outage.

Had one meeting (phone call) which went OK, then got a bunch of fiddly stuff done. Cats jumped on and off my lap all day. There was a semi-crisis late in the afternoon, so I worked a little late, but it wasn't anything that upset me, in fact I felt kind of knowledgeable and helpful...

So you know, it might have been an OK day anyway.

But the real reason I feel happy is because I spent 45 minutes on the phone with The Guy.

Talking about the web site, of course. Zero personal interaction, all work-related. But it cheered me up.

And we have another meeting Tuesday, F2F! I can't wait!

I am such a cow-eyed dork. Really.

so, meant to put this in another message, but it fits here too...

that whole seeing the train wreck coming and not being able to convince anyone feeling, it's not exclusive to contracting.

all in the vein of "you have my sympathy"

glad that you're feeling chipperer

(y'see, unlike darling eva, i don't even TRY to manage the english language properly ;))

Oh yeah, I worked for years as an employee and felt helpless to make things come out right, often enough. The difference was that I felt like it made some kind of sense for me to care, and that people would understand why I wanted to try.

Right now I just feel isolated and like anyone with common sense would shrug and walk away... except I don't want to. Therefore the knot in my stomach.

Anyway, no matter. I did wake up thinking about work, but it's Saturday and I'm going to think about other things now :)

p.s. sympathy is gratefully accepted, so thanks for checking in :)
