I remember reading this back when you first posted it and I immediately nodded.

I think you might already have an idea of how work is going from my away messages.

My life has been far more dramatic and difficult than is remotely necessary and it’s not the ‘this is what life is’ business either. I am old enough so that I can tell the difference. This is a whole new kind of sucking.

Life is treating me like a baby treats a diaper.

When stuff like that happens, I avoid people, lest I infest them with my bad attitude. It’s going to take something of great personal influence to change this trend.

I’m waiting.

It was pretty rough for a couple of months there. But these days things are looking up. I’m very happy to report.

Very few stretches in my life haven’t been at least a little hectic and disheveled. Though the marriage of chaos and crisis is probably more about how we perceive and process the chaos, rather than the mere fact that there is chaos.

Chaos is (as others have already said) fairly commonplace to me. I just hope the adjustment to it isn’t too traumatic to recover from.

I too take very poorly to change. I take uncertainty even more poorly. In the past couple of years, change and uncertainty have become more or less constant houseguests. I think many people our age are experiencing this (all my friends are moving away/getting married/changing career/having kids/…) and for many of us, it may be the first time we experience such upheavals in our lives or are making life-changing decisions. I know for myself, I appreciate more and more these days how simple I’ve had it until now. Just when you think something is settled, you get the rug pulled out from under you…

I’m just watching the tide ebb and flow. Time and tide…

Here’s to the other side of the tunnel.

I’m with Diane. Same ol’ chaos as usual. Just as chaotic and crazy as it usually is. I’ve been told to expect “all hell breaking loose” in another week and a half…I will be intriqued to see if THAT is any more chaotic than usual.

I recently came across a book, in a store on Mackinac Island, that helps. Everybody should get a copy for their desk. It’s titled: Sh*t Happens: The Book by Debbie Lazarus. The subtitle is: Somewhere, someone is having…a worse day than you…

Things have been crazy this month- not totally a bad month- some bad- but mostly unexpected- and as someone who doesn’t like change- this isn’t great.
I think we all need whatever Scott is taking…….
