Dilemma

[thessalian]

My head hurts. I'm tired. I'm stressed and every muscle in my body has tensed up for no apparent reason. Yesterday, for the most part, sucked beyond the telling of it (with a few exceptions like dinner at Ikkyusan, a trip to the asian grocer just across the road from the restauraunt, dragon beard candy and gummy Damballa), which I guess explains it. The question is whether I want to risk worse migraine by going into work. The answer is no.

But of course, work ethic is causing me some problems. I'm not that ill. Mostly I just need a mental health day. Work sucks, the Frankenbox is fragged (though the noise is probably cat fur in the fan again), I've still got vampadvocate peering around the edges of my journal and going on about how she'd talk to me but (what do you think is going to happen if you talk to me directly, out of curiosity?) and in general, just argh. I don't know what to do...

First thing we do ... call in. Screw this; not sacrificing my health for work ethic, mental or physical. Then I switch off the Frankenbox because I needed to take it apart anyway. Then back to bed for a bit.

Mea Culpa

Hi I'm sorry to have been yet another cause of stress of your life. It wasn't intentional believe me but even so.

My inner fan girl got the better of me but reason why I didn't post directly is that I'm aware that my inner fan girl can get out of hand and didn't want to start a flame war that ended up escalating especially over something so dumb. Didn't handle situation well so sorry.

Suggestions and comments on how not to be cause of stress again appreciated. Hope your day off helped things.

Um ... sorry, what?

I'm confused. What flame war? Escalation from what? I'm not seeing the cause for stress. dis_connection doesn't like Doctor Who's current incarnation; I'm ambivalent because I see glimmers of good in it but preferred Ecclestone and think it's losing all subtlety. We discuss things, but it didn't exactly get heated and we all, including thm, found a nice little modus vivendi; dis_connection will continue to bitch but will possibly occasionally remind the people who read his journal that he doesn't indiscriminately hate everything and thus is not a complete grumpy old fart, I'm going to continue to watch it every so often with dodgyhoodoo and try not to be so judgemental, and thm acknowledges there's a different between 'popular' and 'popularist'. No heat, no smoke, no flame war. Just discussion. No cause for stress.

Besides, I remember your inner fan girl. Long conversations about why Connor isn't evil and why Buffy S6 didn't completely suck. I'm used to your inner fangirl 'getting out of hand'. I never saw it as a problem before; why would I see it as one now just because we haven't spoken in over a year? It's not like I was actively fighting with you, or even like you were involved with the primary problems. I may not have liked how you chose to deal with events, but that's your business, so I have no call to bite your head off just because you still have the occasional passing urge to fangirl at me. In fact, it's rather heartening. So really, all I can say is 'do what you want to do', but if you want to fangirl about stuff that I've brought up in here, you might as well do it in here; surely it's easier than bouncing around and commenting in random people's journals. Besides, I missed the rabidity. If that's even a word.
