I got a speeding fine and three points on my licence. The world cup and it's impact in England is getting on my nerves (I actually want to swear about it!!!!) I am slowly losing my good will this week and am in a verynasty/negative place. And poor Sarahwithbaloo got mad at me the other day because I wasn't very nice to be around. So, I've come here to let off a little steam. Let's hope next week is better.

I may be wrong, but I have a feeling you are a perfectionist; somehow, someway, take a small tiny break. Clear your head. Listen to your absolute favorite music. Or sit outside and listen to "nothing". And don't forget to breathe ~ deep breathing ~ learn to practice it, dave. I promise it will help so much. I sure do hope you feel better and not so overwhelmed soon, my friend.

Plus i am sure you have not let anyone down at all. Plus on the England front i actually spent most of the match online to BA and on the phone to Disneyland Paris booking my xmas break,great only 175 days to go. Chin up we all know you are not a nasty person things have just got to much but as trailsend says it will soon pass. (((hugs again))))

Things seems to go in cycles that way. But you are a good guy and this too shall pass. Sometimes, its just sucks to be a grown-up. Least that's how I feel about it. I never talk about my job here and I'm not gonna start now but I will say that it is usually a very stressful place and it makes me wanna scream. At the top of my lungs. A lot. Why do I work there again? Oh, yes, well, my point is that I can certainly relate to you there and I hope you knowing that we all care about you and relate to what you are feeling helps a bit. Please know that I am thinking of you and Sarah today and wishing you the best. Like SuzieQ said - come scream anytime. (((((((((Baloos))))))))))

I do love my job in the main, but there are some major changes afoot that I am working through and trying to do the best, but I currently feel inadequate. Knowing that so many here care makes my disposition much more cheery. For that, I thank you all.

I would have come here to scream too, if only I could get online for more than 3 minutes at a time! Anyways, we know you are valued and needed at your job, and things will get better there. Hang in there, we're here for you!
