What a shit day!

It's been a really rotten day today!

I'm not going to go into it, but let me leave some clues...


Clue 1

bla·sé  (blä-z)
adj.
1. Uninterested because of frequent exposure or indulgence.
2. Unconcerned; nonchalant: had a blasé attitude about housecleaning.
3. Very sophisticated.

or

blasé [ˈblɑːzeɪ]
adj
1. indifferent to something because of familiarity or surfeit
2. lacking enthusiasm; bored
[from French, past participle of blaser to cloy]

Clue 2

Clue 3

  • hurtful comments making fun of you or your work
  • playing mind games, ganging up on you, or other types of psychological harassment 
  • withholding important info
  • making impossible demands; setting you up to fail
  • intimidation (making you feel less important and undervalued)  
  • pushing, shoving, tripping, grabbing you in the workplace 

If you are being bullied at work you might:
  • be less active or successful   
  • be less confident in your work 
  • feel scared, stressed, anxious or depressed 
  • have your life outside of work affected, e.g. study, relationships 
  • want to stay away from work 
  • feel like you can’t trust your employer or the people who you work with
  • lack confidence and happiness about yourself and your work 
  • have physical signs of stress like headaches, backaches, sleep problems
This is how I've felt for the last 2 days...and then on deeper reflection - I have been feeling like this for quite some time - on and off!

If anyone else is experiencing similar feelings and symptoms...the links may be able to provide you some help.

Christmas 2006

Well it's that time of the year again. Another xmas gone. This one was a bit lonely - it was only me, my son and our homestay student. My sister has been ignoring me now since around August. I really don't miss her - that makes me sad :-(

My son left to go to his father's at lunch time - so it was a really quiet xmas. He is coming home tomorrow avo.

He got so many presents today, but I just don't feel like he appreciates what he receives. I buy him too much. I won't be buying him that much in 2007 - I'm still saving for my own house. It's a slow process.

Ok - see if you can help me with this. He (my son) seems to be on his best behaviour at his father's. He doesn't back-chat, he doesn't whinge, chuck tantrums and he eats everything he is given. What am I doing wrong? What should I be doing different? Who can I talk to?

I feel I need to make some important decisions in the new year - things will need to be changed!

Topsy Turvy

After a turbulent yesterday both at work and at home, I've decided to have today day off! I started by mending a few bridges, which had kind of fallen in a heap after my not so nice behaviour last night. Why do I behave like that? The simple answer is I don't know. I really don't - is it hormonal? Maybe. Psychological? Perhaps. Emotional? Definitely.

Yesterday was an interesting day. Around lunch time I got what I thought was my periods. Was it? Well to be honest I'm not sure. I wonder if it was just a bit of spotting? All up I had about 3 spots and some bloating and a few cramps and since then nothing. A definite must to keep my doctor's appointment on Friday and get to the bottom of it all. At work we had a conversation about how relieved and happy we were that I was not pregnant, but as the day wore on my doubts and worries still lingered.

Were the bridges mended? I hear you ask. I don't think so, as I have had no reply to any of my 3 sms messages. True, he could be asleep from a late night in front of the computer, but it's already 9.30am his time. Anyway, I think I have to do more than just send 3 sms messages. I was a little bit too nasty and accused him of not caring and being indifferent. Would that have hurt his feelings? Maybe.

On a happier note, my sister is coming over to work on her website for her salon. I'm looking forward to this as it will be part of my first assignment for TAFE. I'll post a link here when its finished.
