Is it then strange I feel vicarious sadness over the breakup of my friend/drummer and his girlfriend?

Nah. I have felt real sadness over certain couples breaking up. Sometimes, because I won't get to see one half anymore. Sometimes because you can see where they went wrong from a distance and it seems fixable. Sometimes (this is the worst for me) they were so good together and their breakup reminds me of mistakes I have made personally and it just hits too close to home.

I can't seem to leave the house lately without a mild anxiety attack, even when i am happy to go somewhere. I've never really dealt with ongoing anxiety and it is fucking me up.

I can't date at the moment because of anxiety and sadness. I want to, but I remember from when I used to it was like what you guys said, so I'm also kinda happy to be out of it!

Yeah I know that feeling. Someone else will probably have better advice than me, but idk, just remember there's nothing that special about the world or all the other people in it that makes you not good enough to go and do anything you want. Feels like you don't belong but you do.

In my experience just getting out more helps make that feeling go away. As if your mind's perception of the world shrinks to whatever space you choose to mostly inhabit, and getting outside of it is uncomfortable because you're expanding that, really expanding yourself, if you see everything as an extension of yourself. Part of the reason traveling feels so good. I drove across the country in a few days and I literally felt bigger at the end of it. People looked small to me, walking around. Then I got some sleep and they went back to normal though.

I saw something interesting about solitary confinement, the other day, about how much it changes people.

Did you change your iCloud password recently? If so try the old one if you haven't. If not you may be able to reset then password via the recovery partition. Not sure if or let's you do that with AppleID.

This is solid advice/life wisdom!

Too much fucking work to do, and unscheduled / unsanctioned shit keeps popping up in my inbox that "NEEDS IMMEDIATE ALL CAPS ATTENTION" keeping me from getting my job list any shorter... grrrrrrrrrr...

[snipelfritz]

I just ordered at noodles and company, they don't have their little numbers for the table. How will I get my food?

This is chaos!

EDIT: Ate too much and now I feel awful.

One of my morning cooks got into a bad car accident today coming into work. Hit by a semi and car flipped, had to be cut out of her car. She was only on the road because I asked her to if she wanted some over time. She is not seriously hurt but I feel responsible.

Trying to get an insurance agent to pay a bill using two cards is like trying to teach a monkey calculus.

Instead of charging one card for $200 and the other for $400, the agent did it backwards and doesn't seem to understand why it didn't work. I had to explain it three times to them and they ended with "okay, I'll have to study on that".

i know that feeling.
i was lamenting to one of my better sales-people that the days' call-outs left the sales team seriously lacking for the evening. we were slow until about 7:15. at 7:45 i was like, "oh just help that guy." ended up working a 12-hour day.

different scenarios. way different i know. but mostly we give these people the opportunity to be like, "i gotta bounce" or whatever.

big time bum out but don't beat yourself up over it.

what did Burroughs say about the opposite sex? ....that they are really alien insects spys infiltrating earth...some days I wish, so life wouldnt seem so harsh concerning the other sex making it out to be just animal behaviour "yo whats her deal?...oh ya shes an alien insect"....or possibly the fact that getting older and not being involved in somwhere meeting new people, like it gets harder as you get older? only allows the old cows I got in the barn moo louder...hopfully moving to another state with no ball and chains soon. gonna make a post about home school......do i need a license?
