Fun Day

I honestly don't know when it happened.

I turned into a stress eater???!!!

To be fair - I only stress eat when I can't run soon enough. But with all of this friend nonsense... my nerves don't stand a chance. :-/ second-hand stress bites! for "lunch" I had a cinnamon roll, and I had an emergency chai tea today.

Work was pretty good. Mostly. #1 Tina hijacked Muzak back from the control of the back. We found a new station! "7890" (70s 80s 90s and now) good times! I left my hair curly from the show last night. And I wore makeup. So NATURALLY J would come in... Seriously? It was so awkward. First off, broski was watching me from the cafe. And it was obvious. Creep much? Secondly, I was working on something. Actually working, which is what I'm paid to do. I don't get paid to talk to broski. [If I did, I'd get a new job...] Worst off, Tina is next to me, trying not to crack up because it's obvious I don't want to talk to J. Poor fellow just needs to find a nice lady. You know, who's not me. Tina: "I don't know Jess. He added me on facebook, and he talks to me every time he's in here. But he doesn't talk to me like that (snigger)." awesome. [random sidenote: as I type, "Faith" by George Michael is on Pandora. love!!!] Then other, old J was in. At this point I begin telling myself that I'll never wear makeup to work again. But I automatically take it back. :-P I'm pretty sure at some point there was another creeper in the store, but I digress...

On the upside, Jean in all of her crazy glory, didn't say anything about my appearance. Thank goodness! Actually, neither did B. Double thank goodness! I was going back to see Boss, and ran into John on the way. He complimented me on my Facebook status posts. I didn't think I was that exciting, but woohoo positive reinforcement! That chai tea? It kept me in a good mood up until crazy lady came in. Unfortunately it was all downhill from there. Fighting with tech support. Dealing with crazy lady questions immediately after fighting with tech support. Just bad news bears.

Yet here I sit. One cup of tea, loads of aqua, and one hour of Pandora later. I'm feeling very good at the moment. I delighted in the task of cleaning out my phone. It's been awhile since I've deleted text messages or notes. Deleting text messages is the best. I have no rational explanation, but I love it. Especially with this second-hand stress nonsense. Deleting those text messages today was extra good!

My friend is making crummy decisions. I know they're crummy. She knows they're crummy. She'll more than likely regret them later. But she's making them anyway. I don't really want to sit back and watch her proceed to make said bad decisions. I'm getting second-hand stress from the drama of her life! However, if I don't sit back and watch her make said bad decisions, to at least be there to pick her up when she falls, then I'm the bad friend. Catch 22. :-/

...but tomorrow's forecast looks great for a sprint workout!!!
