*totally not procrastinating, why do you ask?*

So, today I spent my evening sieving invisible balls out of water.

IN OTHER NEWS:

1. I cried, in work, again, ugh. *buries face in hands*
2. I overheard this conversation on the train home:
Teenybopper 1: "What's that you're listening to? DBAC or something?"
Teenybopper 2: "ACDC, yeah!"
Teenybopper 1: "What are they like?"
Teenybopper 2: "Oh, they're old rock, like Nirvana. I like Nirvana better though."

ACDC - old rock like Nirvana.

OH YES.

except I don't want to cry but bitch slap the foursome fo chatterboxes in work who keep distracting me from doing my claims. I HAVE MY IPOD ON AND CAN STILL HEAR THEM. *capslock of rage* Plus the fact I've work over thirty hours OT in three weeks I'm ready for a mini breakdown too. *pets*

Oh man, there's no excuse for people being rude like that. I mean, I'm loud, but I do actually respond to people slapping me upside the head and shouting "Shut up!".

*hugs*

(Yeah, having a mini breakdown where your poor boss has to give you a hug to stop you crying like Dean on a bad day someone kicked your puppy is... yeah. EMBARRASSING :D)

Invisible balls in water?

Aww, what got you down, bb?

Invisible balls in water!

And ugh, work is just... it's not good. Thankfully, today they had me doing emails-only for the major part of the day (I tend to do my hourly target in 40 minutes, so I can spend the last 20 minutes of each hour arsing around), which was a rare treat, but more importantly, they've let me stay at my desk instead of moving over with my new team. Which may seem really, really silly, all things considered I have no personal artifacts lying around here, but the simple fact is that I am slightly autistic and as much as I try to adapt to change I really do need a little bit of routine. Upending things so I have a new job role, new team, new boss, new seat (same paycheck) all at once just blew a gasket. I couldn't stop crying for the best part of half an hour, I think my boss thought I'd broken something, poor girl.

Thing is, I really, really hate this side of being dyspraxic, because I hate being vulnerable like this and the fact that all of a sudden I can have all the emotional control of a five year old, but objectively I know there's bugger-all I can do about it (well, nothing more than what I already do), so I just have to deal. But still; it's frustrating.

*hugs*

Sorry for ranting :).

[ibroketuesday.livejournal.com]

Aww, yeah. *hugs* I can see where the frustration comes from. It sounds like it must be tough, but you do an admirable job anyway. Don't hate on yourself for having emotional breakdowns every so often.

*snuggles*

I think the fact that I'm so close to being neurotypical makes it extra frustrating when I'm just not quite there, but hey :). At least I can help support my family while I'm holding down this job; but the second my sister gets one of her own, I'm out of here like a shot and looking for a new job full time :).

~hugs~ Hope things get better soon.

And, yes, ACDC are exactly like Nirvana. Yup. That's what I always tell everyone, too. ~rolls eyes~ People need education.

*squishes*

I loled and loled and loled some more at that conversation. I had to pretend I was reading a hilarious book. Which, you know, would have been easier if it didn't have "RISE OF THE LICH KING" emblazoned over the front.

Hugs! work must suck :(

Hee at least the conversation should have made you chuckle, it did me.

[emerald-embers.livejournal.com]

Aye, that it does.

And that it did :). I giggled and then nearly cried again at the sheer relief of giggling after such a crappy day. *snuggles*

That...that had to be the saddest thing I have ever heard. That is almost as bad as my co-workers asking me if the urethra actually exists on a woman.

[emerald-embers.livejournal.com]

I once had to explain to a lad, in all seriousness, that lads can catch sexually transmitted infections too.

*headdesk*

[rushedpistol.livejournal.com]

Wha! How can people not know that? :headdesk: That is just so sad. And people wonder why STD infection rates are so high?
