Feeling a little weird and uncomfortable. I'm starting to see my boss in a different light. Yesterday, he started making unverified accusations/assumptions (not his first time) against a volunteer, which led her to quit. Today, he decided to take credit for someone else's ideas! His assistant had superb ideas about presentations, which were shared with me, but the next thing I know he took her ideas and made it like they were his own! Even worse, he didn't give credit - he only mentioned consulting an expert, a "he" when in fact the ideas belonged to his female assistant!

Yikes, this is like management at its worst! Unfortunately, he's the boss/head/topmost person at the company so there's nothing we could do about it. He has the gift of gab, as a former lecturer, and pretty much an extravert from what I could tell. But he has this passive aggressive trait that prevents him from being honest and direct, i.e. be humble when times call for it. I also think it's unfair he gets to insult people and get away with it.

Don't get me wrong, he has many good traits such as praising and complimenting people, but I think his negative traits are surfacing enough to threaten the functioning of the org?

I have a bad feeling about our design. I think it will turn out very ugly. No offense here, but I don't think my boss has a very good eye for design. But, you know what they say: "the client is king." The design could be gorgeous but the project will fail if the client doesn't like it. Conversely, the design could be ugly as heck but if the client likes it, it's a success!

I get this weird, low-level dread feeling after I drink soft drinks. I think it's too much sugar. I get this buzz and then the comedown feels just like something bad has happened.

Better than I have the last couple days, but this cold is still around. My sinuses are so full again and I have this squeezing headache. At least my voice is 3/4 of the way back, but I still sound horrible. Bleh.

I'm pretty exhausted, since I went to bed at 2 AM last night and had to get up at 7––and in those five hours I was mostly awake, so I think I only got about 2 hours of sleep total. I had to go to two classes and then I could finally take a nap, but that was only about an hour and a half. And I have a lot of work to do before tomorrow ... but hopefully I'll be able to go to bed earlier tonight, at least.

No energy at all.
Zero, Zilch, Nada.
I should be exercising, but have no energy to start.
Even though I know exercising will give me some energy. But I need some energy to start. :kickingmyself:
I feel like an industrial hessian sack of potatoes.:sad:

Huh, interesting. I feel kind of like that when I drink coffee. But drinks like Pepsi make me feel pleasantly buzzed. I don't drink soda often though, terrible for you.

^ It's weird, coffee gives me the buzz without the dread, even with sugar. I'm starting to wonder if it's the high fructose corn syrup in drinks.

I was awake for 36 hours, laid down and slept for three, and now I'm wide awake again. I have to be somewhere at 8am, alllllll day, so I may have to take the dreaded Unisom to get back to sleep.

Thanks, but I already took the exam :). I decided to take it today instead of tomorrow because I wanted to get it over with. (Well, where I live it is now 2:00 a.m., so I guess I should say I took the exam yesterday to get it over with, instead of taking it today.) I got 126 points correct out of 150 possible points, which means I got an 84. I was relieved :perfect:.

Tired, lost, cold, upset, confused, a little numb, dirty and sick. But searching for a positive, face it things could be worse.

Today I let go of my anger at some of the people I work with. I joked around, I interacted, the pressure I felt around me evaporated. The people reacted positively. Sometimes you have to move on, it is easier on my soul. It's being pragmatic, doing what makes me feel better about things. I haven't forgotten what has been said, but I have let it go in the interests of my own health.
