Day 41: And Then...

It began as a nice day at work, only 3 patients to take care of. But by lunch there was drama, and politics and betrayal.

Even if you keep your head down and do you work diligently and try to be a good person; the big bad world will find you when it is your turn and it will bite you in the ass. All you can do is brace your self for the moment and grow some damn body armor to deal with it; and maybe forget that there is a such thing as feelings.

Am I currently jaded yes. But wait there's more:

And then I came home and my kitchen started flooding and then I looked at my pet plant Billy and noticed that he was starting to wilt and die.

It was one of those days, as my friend put it, "When you're just trying to do your best, not to throw yourself out of a window."

Just to clarify: No actual suicidal ideation on my behalf there.

Sometimes, reading this blog, I feel like I should send you a cake or maybe an uplifting card or something. Perhaps one of these would kill two birds with one stone:

That would be a pretty fantastic gift as its utility would be 2 fold - 1. Uplifting 2. Waters Billy when I forget.
